• Wear protection boots.

SAFETY WARNINGS

• TORQUE WRENCHES ARE MEASURING / TESTING DEVICES AND AS SUCH THEY MAY NOT BE USED TO LOOSEN SCREW CONNECTIONS.

• Do not use to loosen fasteners.

• Use as intended only. Do not use as a hammer or pry bar.

• Do not use handle extension to increase force. Do not use a breaker bar.

• Avoid dropping or sliding the torque wrench. Dropping the torque wrench on a hard surface can cause the instrument to lose reliable calibration. If you suspect that the wrench has been dropped, have the tool inspected by the manufacturer or reputable calibration service.

• Keep away from children.

• Inspect before every use; the device must only be used when it functions properly. If the product or part of the product is defective, it must be taken out of operation and disposed of correctly.

• For your safety, service, calibration, and maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician.
  Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, high humidity, fluid immersion, and corrosive environments.

• Always store the torque wrench in the protec-tive case provided when not in use.

• Use the tool, accessories and tool bits in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when using the tool.

• Beware of sharp edges. Handle sharp-edged and pointed tools with care. Ensure sharp-ed-ged and

• pointed tools are kept sharp as this will make them easier to control.

• Do not force the tool. Always use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and ba-lance at all times. This will enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Always use the correct type of tool for the type of material being worked on.

• NOTE The above list is non-exhaustive and is recommended as a basic level of protection for general tasks. Before starting any task, refer to your local hardware store or a professional for advice on which safety equipment would be best suited to the task at hand.

• Do not exceed the recommended working range of the torque wrench. Reliable measurements are based on a percentage of the working range. In general, mechanical wrenches have a useable range from 20% to 100% of full scale.

MACHINE INFORMATION

Intended use
This torque wrench is specially designed to apply a specific tightening torque value during a final assembly process. This prevents the bolt or nut from being overtightened. It is not allowed to loosen screws, nuts or other fasteners with the tool. Do not use the torque wrench as the primary means of tightening fasteners, a ratchet wrench is strongly advised for this. Always store the torque wrench in the lowest torque setting, to prolong the lifespan of the tool and prevent the tool from losing its accuracy.

DESCRIPTION

The numbers in the text refer to the diagrams on pages 2-3.

1. Square drive
2. Torque scale
3. Handle
4. Lock knob
5. Direction switch
6. Pivot point
7. 1/2” extension bar
8. 1/2” to 3/8” adapter

ASSEMBLY

Mounting accessories (Fig. A, B, C)

• Use only sockets with the correct drive and rated to at least the torque that will be applied to it.
• Do not use accessories or socket extensions unless specifically required. The more extensions used, the less accurate the torque setting will be.
• Avoid using universal joint extensions as these will give an inaccurate torque reading.

Sockets and/or accessories can be mounted on the 1/2” square drive (1) of the wrench. 1/2” extension bar The 1/2” extension bar (7) can be used for confin-ed spaces where there is limited space to operate the wrench. To mount the 1/2” extension bar (7), firmly press it onto the 1/2” square drive (1). 1/2” to 3/8” adapter The 1/2” to 3/8” adapter (8) can be used to mount 3/8” size accessories onto the 1/2” size drive of WWW.VONROC.COM

the wrench. To mount the 1/2” to 3/8” adapter (8), firmly press it onto the 1/2” square drive (1).
1/2” square drive sockets
The 1/2” extension sockets (9) can be used for tightening bolts, for example, those of a car alloy wheel. To mount the 1/2” square drive socket (9), press it firmly onto the 1/2” square drive (1).

OPERATION

Before first use (Fig. A)

Read the entire safety information section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

• Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose hardware, misalig-nment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
• As most torque wrenches are length specific, always grasp the torque wrench in the centre of the handle (3). If two hands need to be used, place one hand on top of the other.
• Before you start tightening the bolt with a torque wrench, you need to know what torque fits the bolt. This is usually stated in the manual for car and motorcycle manufacturers. If not, consult the manufacturer.
• Note that after 5000 cycles or up to one year of use, whichever comes first, it is strongly advi-sed to have your torque wrench inspected and recalibrated by a reputable calibration service.

Using the torque wrench (Fig. A-E)

1. Wear PPE-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves.

2. Clean and/or repair the threads that will be tightened. Damaged or dirty threads will result in a misleading torque reading.

3. Select the desired socket and verify it fits properly on the nut or bolt being tightened.

4. Press the socket firmly onto the 1/2” square drive (1), as shown in Fig. C3.

5. Turn the Lock Knob (4) at bottom of the Handle counterclockwise until it stops, as shown on figure D.

6. Turn the handle (3) to set the torque. For example to set to 76 Nm, as shown on Fig. E:

   • Turn the Handle (3) until top of the handle lines up with the bottom horizontal mark for 70 and 0 lines up with centerline.
   • Turn Handle (3) until the 6 lines up with the centerline.
   • The torque value is now set to 76 Nm (70 + 6 = 76).

7. Retighten the Lock Knob (4) by turning it clockwise until it stops.

8. Set the Direction Switch (5) to the ‘on position’ by turning it to the right.
   To prevent damage to the Torque Wrench, do not use for loosening fasteners.

9. Place socket on the fastener, then grasp the Handle (3) and pull smoothly and slowly until the hand-le breaks away and a click is heard or felt. Now stop pulling! The proper torque has been achieved. Further pulling may damage the fastener.

10. Release pressure to allow the handle to reset for the next operation.

11. After every use, loosen the Lock Knob (4), set to the lowest torque setting, then tighten the Lock Knob (4).

12. Store Wrench inside its case, indoors, in a clean, dry location that is out of reach of children.

Optimum use

• Thread fastener with another tool until it is snug, then finish the operation with the Torque Wrench.
• Apply torque in a slow, methodical manner and avoid sudden, “jerking” movements.
• At low torque settings, pull the wrench slowly to observe the click.

MAINTENANCE

For your safety, service, calibration, and maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician. Clean the torque wrench regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that all gaps and openings are free of dust and dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft cloth moi- stened with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia, etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the components. Do not change any parts of this product. If any problem accurs, please contact VONROC customer service.
