•
NEVER USE THE TORQUE WRENCH WHEN THE BATTERIES ARE LOW. THE ACCURACY OF
READINGS WILL BE AFFECTED.
• The display will not show a reading until the applied force has exceeded 10% of full scale.
•
“- - - -”
will be shown on the screen, when applied torque has exceeded 5% of the maximum
of torque value. (See specifi cations)
APPLYING PROGRAMMED ANGLE
1.
Program the value necessary following the instructions in the
Target Angle Setting
section.
2.
Place the torque wrench on the fastener. Press the button to switch from torque
measurement to angle measurement. The screen will display
“ - - - - ”
while it calibrates
the orientation of the wrench. Once the screen displays
“ 0° ”
, you may proceed.
3.

movements.
4.
With the target angle pre-set, the target value is indicated on the screen.
5.
The LED will show
GREEN
when you under 50% of the programmed angle value.
6.
When approaching the target angle value, the LED turns to
YELLOW
.
7.
When you approach the target angle value, the buzzer will sound.
8.
When you are
within 2%
of the programmed value, the
RED
LED will illuminate.
Once the angle is reached, the buzzer will emit a quicker sound sequence.
9.
If
you
exceed the programmed angle by 2%
, the buzzer will emit a continuous tone and
the LED will turn
GREEN
.
ATTENTION: When you hear the continuous tone and the RED LED illuminates, stop pulling
immediately or target torque will be exceeded.
TORQUE WRENCH USE AND CARE
• Do not exceed the permitted maximum torque value for this tool. Over torquing the unit can

• Be sure all accessories including adaptors, extensions and sockets are rated to match or
exceed the torque being applied.
• Use the correct size socket for the fastener.
• Do not use sockets that are cracked or damaged.
• Do not use the Torque Wrench near corrosive gas or liquid.
• Keep away from strong magnetic fi elds.
• Never hold or operate the unit with wet or greasy hands.
• Never apply torque when the tool is turned off or permanent damage can occur.
