WARNING: Risk of flying particles.
Over torquing can cause breakage. An out of calibration torque
wrench can cause part or tool breakage. Broken hand tools, sockets
or accessories can cause injury. Excess force can cause crowfoot or
flare nut wrench slippage.
Read this manual completely before using the
torque wrench.
For personal safety and to avoid wrench damage, follow good
professional tool practices.
Periodic recalibration is necessary to maintain accuracy.
Wear safety goggles, user and bystanders.
Be sure all components, including all adaptors, extensions,
drivers and sockets are rated to match or exceed the torque
being applied.

cautions and procedures when using this wrench.
Use the correct size socket for the fastener.
Do not use sockets showing wear or cracks.

torque is being measured.
Do not press ON/ZERO while torque is applied.
