‘This torque wrench is accurate to +4% of the test load as noted on the supplied certificate of calibration and has been manufactured and tested in accordance with equipment in accordance with 150 0789-1:2017. Accuracy outside the stated minimum and maximum test load is not guaranteed.

General Safety Warnings

Please study these instructions carefully before attempting to operate this wrench. Never apply more torque than the maximum scale reading. This torque wrench is designed for manual tightening of thread fasteners only.
DO NOT USE IT AS A NUT-BREAKER OR FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
Over torqued or defective fasteners and sockets may suddenly break. TO PREVENT INJURY, KEEP PROPER FOOTING AND BALANCE AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT USE THE WRENCH IN PLACES FROM WHICH YOU MAY FALL OR SLIP, OR AROUND ROTATING MACHINERY.
This torque wrench will not prevent you from applying more torque than set – this is not a torque limiting tool. Learn how different amounts of torque ‘feel’ so you will reduce the possibility of damage and/or injury due to accidental over-torquing. APPLY FORCE TO THE GRIP ONLY. DO NOT USE ‘CHEATER BARS’. (A piece of pipe placed over the handgrip). Always measure torque by pulling on the handle with the center of the palm of your hand placed over the grip centerline (7) This tool is NOT -user-serviceable” and spare parts are not available. Only a NATA-certified calibration laboratory should calibrate this tool. NOTE: All torque wrenches should be calibrated at least once a year or every 1,000 cycles, whichever comes first.
This torque wrench only measures torque in the clockwise/tightening direction. DO NOT attempt to undo fasteners (rotate anti-clockwise) with this torque wrench. This torque wrench DOES NOT provide a torque output reading when removing a fastener! NOTE: Only use a K8035 Digital Torque Adapter, to measure the braking torque of an existing fastener being removed.
This torque wrench operates in a clockwise direction only, do not use a torque wrench to loosen a bolt/nut fastener. Doing so will damage the torque wrench, put the torque wrench out of calibration and/or could void your warranty. Only use a socket wrench, breaker bar or another tool to loosen a fastener. Lifetime Warranty does not cover the cost for periodic calibration of the tool. A torque wrench is a precision instrument, so if you drop, heavily knock or leave a torque measure set on your tool for an extended period of time, you should have the calibration checked by an authorized calibration center to verify the tool conforms to the tools noted calibration tolerance %. Failure to do so, could lead to damage of your tool, fastener or goods being worked on and is not covered by the product’s warranty.

How to use your Torque Wrench
WARNING!

1. DO NOT continue to pull or rotate the torque wrench after the head has clicked. Use special care at low torque settings as click is less pronounced
2. Your Torque Wrench is a precision instrument and should be treated as such.
3. Always store your Torque Wrench in the protective blow mould case.
4. Do not attempt to rotate the grip when your desired torque measurement has been selected or locked, or the calibration accuracy may be affected.
5. Do not rotate grip more than one full turn below the lowest scale or one full turn past the highest scale reading. Always return your wrench to zero after use.

NOTE: For accuracy, always start setting the Torque Wrench from below the torque figure you require and rotate clockwise/up to the required torque figure. DO NOT set the torque figure by rotating clockwise/downwards, from a higher torque rating

Torque Wrench Operation

1. After setting the required torque, tighten the Torque setting lock nut (6) by rotating clockwise to lock the setting in place.
2. Attach required socket to the Square Socket Drive (1) and ensure the Forward /Reverse Lever (10) is set to tighten or rotates in a clockwise direction.
3. Place socket and wrench on bolt/nut and apply slow, gradual force to the torque wrench to tighten the fastener.
4. When the torque setting has been attained, the torque wrench will make a “click” type sound and you should feel a “knock” through the torque handle the same time. Immediately STOP applying force to the torque wrench. Continuing to apply force after you hear or feel the click notification will over-tighten the fastener. The setting of the Nm scale is done in the same way as above, by necessity, the scale is not calibrated in even numbers, so the setting will be more approximate. Alternatively, use the conversion scale below.

Care and Maintenance

It is normal for torque wrenches to go out of calibration with time and regular use. Whatever type of torque wrench you are using, regular calibration will ensure that your tools remain as accurate and effective as possible. Putting in place a regular schedule for verifying and calibrating your torque wrench will mean less room for error. Kincrome Tools and Equipment recommend you have your torque wrench calibrated by a NATATH approved calibration facility, every 12 months or 1,000 cycles. If your Kincrome Torque Wrench is dropped, knocked, even in the protective blow mould case, or any part replaced, the wrench must be immediately re-calibrated prior to next use to prevent inaccurate torque settings. Your new Kincrome Torque Wrench is calibrated at the factory in Taiwan, prior to shipping and a certificate of that calibration is supplied with your individually serialised torque wrench. It is the sole responsibility of the owner/user of this tool to ensure the calibration is correct as the torque wrench may have gone out of calibration during transit to retailers. For peace of mind, you should get your torque wrench checked prior to first use. Please note, the Kincrome 12 Month Warranty does not cover the cost of calibration, or the removable square drive of the wrench.
