SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS This manual specifies three (3) basic safety instructions: ■ Instructions are classified by degree of risk and described as follows: Danger is used to indicate threatening dangerous or unsafe practices which could imminently result in severe personal injury or death in the worst case. Warning is used to indicate hazardous or unsafe practices which could result in severe personal injury or death in the worst occasion.
1. Application ■ is an electric torque control wrench with digital torque indicator that shows actual tightening torque being applied on bolts/nuts. Precaution for Use ■ To prevent fire, electric shock, bodily injury and etc, read and follow all instructions listed below. DANGER ●...
Page 6
DANGER ● Do not put hands, fingers or feet close to the reaction plate during operation. ○ The reaction plate rotates in the direction opposite to that of bolt and nut rotation. ○ Never place hands, fingers or feet where reaction plate is placed. Failure to follow this instruction may result in amputation of hands, fingers or feet.
Page 7
WARNING ● Never use the wrench in a location where flammable substances such as gasoline, gas, thinner, benzene and etc. are stored. ○ The trigger switch emits sparks when it is turned on/off. The commutator motor also emits sparks when it is rotating. Failure to follow this instruction may result in explosion or fire.
Page 8
WARNING ● Place the reaction plate to a solid member. ○ Select solid member or surface to be placed the reaction plate as those member or surface receives load almost equivalent to that of output torque. Failure to follow this instruction may result in loss of torque precision; damage or deformation of reaction plate or its set screws;...
Page 9
WARNING ● Avoid overloading. ○ Use the wrench and its accessories within the rated specification. Overloading of the wrench and its accessories may result in damage of the wrench or its accessories; or accident or personal injury. ● Properly install the socket and reaction plate as described in this manual.
Page 10
