REV NO:- ECO:- OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Hi-FORCE: SERIES TWE Electric Torque Wrench These instructions are issued to ensure safe operation of the tool by the intended Operator To ensure maximum safety a copy of these instructions should accompany the tool at all times.
The operator's health and life The machine and other objects KEEP these operating instructions and other applicable Hi-Force manuals in a safe place, and ensure they are available for all personnel that install, use or maintain the equipment. Work Area.
TDS:- 1399 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Electric Torque Wrench Series: TWE Prepared by:- M.DAVIES Approved by:- Date: 25/03/14 REV NO:- ECO:- Electrical safety The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use any adapter in conjunction with electrically earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock. Do not use the cable to pull the plug from the socket.
The minimum and maximum torque values are indicated on the wrench and in addition are recorded in the attached setting table. The torque wrench must only be used with the reaction arms supplied as standard by Hi-Force. Consult Hi-Force, before modifying any support arm, as an uncontrolled operating state (overturning moment) can occur, and lead to the risk of accidents.

TDS:- 1399 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: Electric Torque Wrench Series: TWE Prepared by:- M.DAVIES Approved by:- Date: 25/03/14 REV NO:- ECO:- 4.1. TECHNICAL REMARKS In order to achieve a constant and accurate repetition of the cut-off points, the bolt must be tightened in one go without interruption of the procedure from the motor start until the wrench reaches its cut off setting.
After gears have been run in (approx. 1000 to 2000 bolts) and thereafter once a year, it is necessary to check and possibly re-calibrate the torque wrench. If a mains power lead is damaged, this must be replaced by Hi-Force, because special-purpose tools are required.
