OPERATION
1. To unlock the handle, hold the body firmly and pull and
hold down the locking collar (A). This will allow you to
rotate the handle clockwise or counter clockwise to
your desired torque measurement.
2. Set the desired torque by rotating the wrench body
clockwise or counter clockwise. For example 45 in. lbs:
a. Rotate the handle until the zero graduation on
minor scale is lined up with the vertical line and is
even with 40 in. lbs on the major scale.
b. Then slowly rotate the handle clockwise and set the
minor scale to five (5).
3. Release the locking collar to lock the handle in place.
4. Install the proper socket or attachment to the square
drive end and apply to the object receiving torque.
Rotate the wrench in a clockwise steady motion until
you feel/hear a "CLICK" sound.
5. IMPORTANT: ALWAYS reset the major scale torque
measurement back to "ZERO" when you are finished
using the wrench. This will ensure the internal body
spring maintains accurate tension which prolongs the
life and accuracy of the product.
MAINTANENCE
1. The internal mechanism of the torque wrench has been
calibrated and lubricated before final assembly. DO
NOT attempt to open the wrench's internal mechanism
for any reason. Doing so will void the warranty.
2. Do not submerge the torque wrench in water or any
other liquids.
3. When not in use always store the torque wrench in its
protective case. Be sure before storage that you have
reset the torque setting back to zero.
4. Re-calibration is necessary to maintain accuracy once
a year or every 5000 cycles. Using a torque wrench
that is not regularly calibrated may cause damage to
the tool and personal property.
