ELECTRONIC TORQUE WRENCH - LIMITED 1 YEAR WARRANTY
Carlyle Professional Hand Tools warrants to the original purchaser that the company’s electronic torque wrenches are free
from defects in material or workmanship during the 1 year warranty period. We will repair or replace any electronic torque
wrench which fails to give satisfactory service due to defective workmanship or materials (excluding calibration) for 1 year from
the date of original purchase. (Calibration is only covered by this warranty for each new unused torque wrench out of box.)
Repairs or replacements are warranted as described above for the duration of the original warranty period. Products must be
returned with proof of purchase, freight prepaid, to the warranty service center listed below.
This warranty excludes torque wrenches which have been subjected to abnormal use, accident, neglect, or lack of
maintenance. Any modification, disassembly of this wrench or repair by an unauthorized service center will void the
warranty. This warranty gives you specific rights. You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
The foregoing obligation is Carlyle Professional Hand Tools sole liability under this or any implied warranty and under no
circumstances shall Carlyle Professional Hand Tools be liable for any incidental or consequential damages.
Note:
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so the above limitation
or exclusion may not apply to you.

to 100% of maximum range + / -2%. To maintain the
accuracy of the torque wrench, calibration should be
performed once a year or every 5,000 cycles,
whichever comes first. Accuracy is based on the zero
degree of offset from perpendicular drive.
