READ BEFORE YOU USE
1.
This torque wrench is a precision instrument intended to be used only to tighten screws, bolts
and nuts to a desired torque.
2.
Do not use it as a “nut breaker”, pry bar, hammer, or in lieu of a regular ratchet wrench.
3.
Do not apply torque in excess of the maximum capacity of the wrench. Apply load on the grip
only, and do not use any handle extension bars (a piece of pipe put over the grip).
4.
Head Holder torque wrench should be used with heads.
APPLYING TORQUE
1.
Insert an appropriate socket or drive attachment onto the square drive of the ratchet and onto the
fastener you want to tighten.
2.
Apply hand pressure to the grip, and ONLY TO THE GRIP. You may support the wrench at the
ratchet head with the other hand to steady it,especially when using long socket extensions,
without appreciably affecting the accuracy of the wrench.
3.
If, due to the required effort, you need to use both hands, put the other hand on the top of the
first hand, never on any other part of the wrench.
4.
Apply slow and steady pull or push until the wrench momentarily releases, with or without a
distinct “click” sound. Release the pressure right at this point. DO NOT OVERTORQUE!
SAFETY WARNING
Overtorqued or defective fasteners, sockets, as well as the wrench itself, may suddenly break
causing you to lose balance, fall, or to suffer other trauma. Be sure that you have firm footing, are
properly balanced, and if necessary are using appropriateharness, back support, or other safety
device.
