SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using an electrical wrench, basic precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THIS WRENCH
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
WARNING: Do not attempt to modify or repair
the wrench.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock
or injury:
•
Shock Hazard. To protect against risk of electrical shock,
do not put charging base in water or other liquid.
•
Do not allow to be used as a toy. Close attention is
necessary when used by or near children.
•
Use only as described in this manual. Use only
manufacturer's recommended attachments.
•
Do not put any object into openings. Do not use with
any opening blocked; keep free of dust, lint, hair, and
anything that may reduce air flow.
•
Do not incinerate the wrench even if it is severely
damaged. The batteries can explode in a fire.
Additional Safety Warnings
a ) Do not use a battery or wrench that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire,
explosion or risk of injury.
b ) Do not expose a battery or wrench to fire
or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or
temperature above 130 °C (266 °F) may cause explosion.
c ) Have servicing performed by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the product is maintained.
d ) Torque instruments perform correctly only when
properly used, cared for, and calibrated.
e ) A fastener improperly torqued with a torque
instrument may be very dangerous even if the torque
wrench is in proper working order or appears to be in
proper working order but is out of calibration.
f ) Lubricated and nonlubricated fastener applications
have major differences in the determination of
torque requirements. Designers of assembled joints
shall consider torque requirements consistent with
fastener characteristics.
g ) Do not tare out the weight of the wrench when
using in a gravity-dependent position.

Additional Safety Rules for Torque Wrenches
WARNING:
•
ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT
safety glasses. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
•
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3)
•
Do not use the unit outdoors. Unit intended for indoor use only.
•
ALWAYS ensure accessories are not chipped or damaged to
reduce the risk of loose debris causing injury.
•
Do not expose to excessive heat or humidity to avoid
deformation or corrosion, which may affect accuracy.
•
Do not use this wrench in water since fluid ingress will
affect the circuitry resulting in damage and potentially
electrical shock.
•
NEVER use on live electrical circuit, wrench does not protect
you from electrical shock. Turn off power before use.
•
Over torque (exceeding stated maximum capacity by 130%
can result in damage, breakage or affect accuracy).
•
Avoid use of solvents, chemicals, liquids.
•
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair. Refer to an
authorised service centre.
•
Guard against snagging of clothing, hair, jewellery or
anything that could impair movement of the product or
work piece and lead to damage or injury.
•
Over‑torquing (110% of maximum torque range) could
cause breakage or impede accuracy.
