SPECIFICATION
Model No:……………………………………………….. STW501
Drive …………………………………………………………. 3/4”Sq
Length …………………………………………………….. 1550mm
Range ……………………………. 300-1000Nm(200-750lb.ft)
ASSEMBLY
Push in Pin locator (Fig1.1) and push bar (Fig1.2) into ratchet head (Fig1.3) making sure that the pin clicks into place. The assembled bar will look as in (fig2).
OPERATION
5.1. Hold the torque wrench in your left hand (if right handed) so that the
required scale on the shaft, just above the hand grip – is uppermost and
visible.(Fig.3).
5.2. Turn the lock handle provided, at the end of the grip (Fig.4) Use either
nm or lbf.ft scales and set to the required torque then remove handle.
5.3. When tightening the nut/bolt, press down smoothly, you will
see the handle ‘break’ meaning that the torque point has been reached (there
is no audible ‘click’ sound). STOP pressing down. DO NOT force the wrench to
avoid over-tightening the nut/bolt. The wrench will reset ready for the next
application.
5.4. After use adjust to lowest torque setting (but not below), clean and
store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
NOTE : If the Torque Wrench has not been used for a period of time,
operate a few times, ideally at the maximum setting. This can also be
completed at target torque, to ensure all internal parts are coated with
grease.
RECALIBRATION
6.1. The default calibration period of 12 months (or 5000 cycles which ever
occurs first) starts after the first use of the torque tool (BS EN ISO 6789-1
refers).
6.2. Calibration should be checked periodically, depending on use and after
any impact or other misuse. Also the interval between tests shall be chosen on
the basis such as: maximum permissible deviation, frequency of use, typical
load during operation as well as ambient conditions during operation and
storage.
