HOW TO USE YOUR TORQUE WRENCH
WARNING!
1.
DO NOT pull after the trip has clicked and the Indicator Pin (5) has been released.
Use special care at low torque settings.
2.
If using the torque wrench frequently, ensure the Indicator Pin (5) is pressed in after
each use.
3.
Your Torque Wrench is a precision instrument and should be treated as such.
4.
Always store your Torque Wrench in the protective blow mould case.
1.
Loosen the Thumb Screw (1) on the side of the Torque Wrench by rotating anti-clockwise.
2.
Slide the Torque Indicator Wedge (2) to the desired torque setting, Torque Indicator Wedge (2)
must be positioned onto the centre line of the desired torque number.
3.
Tighten the Thumb Screw (1) by rotating clockwise.
4.
Gently push in the Indicator Pin (5) back into the Deflection Beam (6) to reset the Torque Wrench.
When the Torque Wrench is not in use, ensure the Indicator Pin (5) is pushed back into the
Deflector Beam (6) to keep the pin from coming into contact with any obstructions, as this could
cause damage to the Torque Wrench or effect the Wrench's calibration.
5.
Install the appropriate socket to the torque wrench, then attach to the fastener to be torqued.
Place your middle finger on the finger groove (4C) in the handle and grasp the handle. Slowly
and evenly pull the handle until you hear the click or see the Indicator Pin (5) release. The set
torque has been achieved.
