Notes from Page 1:
*1: The accuracy of the readout is guaranteed from 20% to 100%
of maximum range + /- 1 increment. The torque accuracy is a
typical value. Calibration point is at the middle line of the five
anti-slip lines on the rubber handle. 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.
*2: Use two AA batteries
