Avoid dropping or sliding a torque wrench. Dropping it can cause the instrument
to lose reliable calibration.

Damaged tools must not be used and must be removed from service for evaluation
and either reported and re-calibrated or replaced.
Do not use accessories or handle extensions unless specifically allowed by the torque
2.
wrench manufacturer.
3.
Do not use the torque wrench as the primary means of tightening or loosening fasteners.
Torque wrenches are length specific.
4.
Grasp the torque wrench in the center of the handle when applying torque pres-
•
sure.
•
Place one hand on top of the other when using two hands.
Apply torque in a slow, steady manner in a downward direction and avoid sudden

"jerking" movements.
When the wrench signals (by clicking, beeping or lights) that a specific torque has been
6.
reached, stop immediately.
