OPERATION
1.
Set Torque Wrench to the desired value (See section: Setting the Torque Wrench).
2.
Install appropriate socket and secure the socket on the fastener.
3.
Center hand on the hand grip and apply a steady force in the desired direction until a click is
felt or heard.
Immediately stop pulling once the click is felt or heard.
The fastener is now
torqued to the desired setting.
4.
This tool will not prevent you from applying more torque than the tool is set for. Do not continue
to apply force once the tool setting has been reached. Never apply more torque than the maxi-
mum scale reading.
5.
When applying pressure to the wrench, hold by the grip only. Never apply pressure to the body
of the wrench.
6.
If, at high torque settings, both hands are necessary to apply enough pressure, hold the grip in
one hand and put the other hand on top of the first hand.
7.
After each use, pull Lock Collar and rotate handle counterclockwise until the Torque Wrench
is at its lowest setting. This will ensure the torque wrench will stay in calibration as long
as possible.
MAINTENANCE
• Before each use inspect the condition of the tool for damage.
• This Torque Wrench was calibrated and tested during production. This is a precision instrument
that requires regular re-calibration to maintain peak accuracy.
• After each use ensure that the wrench is set to its lowest torque setting.
• If the Torque Wrench has not been used or has been in storage for some time, operate it sev-
eral times at a low torque setting to permit the internal lubricant to re-coat working parts.
• Periodically coat tool with a rust preventative coating such as a light machine oil.
