SAFETY

• WARNING! DO NOT use the torque wrench if damaged or thought to be faulty.
• Ensure all workshop safety rules, regulations and conditions are complied with.
• Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
• Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
• Avoid over-torquing the wrench; 110% of maximum torque range; as this will cause loss of accuracy. “—-” will be displayed when this occurs.
• Keep the wrench away from magnetic fields.
• On first usage training by a qualified person is recommended.
• In operation when you hear a continuous tone, cease activity, especially in the case of target torque/angle is low.
• Ensure all sockets, extensions, drivers are rated correctly and are of flawless construction. Avoid using adaptors/extensions for best safety and best accuracy.
• DO NOT use on electrical circuits, the plastic handle of the wrench is not insulated.
• DO NOT subject the wrench to excessive force, drops, shakes, shocks or knocks.
• DO NOT operate the wrench in damp conditions.
• DO NOT operate the wrench in dusty conditions.
• DO NOT press or grip on the LCD or control panel area.
• DO NOT use the torque wrench if the batteries are low, torque accuracy will be affected.

INTRODUCTION

Rugged and resilient digital torque wrench suitable for workshop and factory use. LCD read-out with LED, vibration and audible alarms to indicate achieved and target torque levels.

NEW USER NOTES:
Familiarise yourself with the display and control panel. Practice setting up by holding the torque wrench 1/2” drive in a vice. Set units, torque, angle figures and test for visual, audible, vibration signals by sweeping the torque arm.

INITIAL OPERATION:
Power On.

1. Place the wrench on a horizontal level surface and press the button to turn on the torque wrench.
2. Press the button again to turn the wrench off.

SET-UP
Track Mode: After turning on the torque
wrench it will be set in ’track’ mode. This means once the torque is reached and pressure is taken off the torque wrench the display rolls back down to ZERO.
Peak Hold Mode: Use the wrench in exactly the same way, except that when the force is released, the display stays at the maximum torque that has been applied. After two seconds the display will flash. Either continue on the next operation or press the button to ZERO the value and continue onto the next operation.
Track and Peak Mode Setting.

1. Press the button to turn the wrench on.
2. Cycle the button to select peak or track. Press to confirm.

Note: If no buttons are pressed within 10 seconds the display will return to the main screen.

Unit Selection.

1. Press the button for 3 seconds
2. When the peak or track mode has been confirmed the wrench will go to unit selection.
3. Nm will be shown, Press the button to scroll through different measurements.
4. Press the button to confirm. If no buttons are pressed within 3 seconds the display will return to the main screen.
