Operation
Setting the Torque
Loosen the counter screw and set the required torque by turning the handle.
The scale on the shaft of the spanner gives a sequence of settable torque
values; the precise value in the applying unit is set by turning the handle
and using the scale running around the handle.
Example: To set a torque of 90 Newton meters, turn the handle until the “0”
marking is at the line along the shaft at the “84” marking on the shaft. To
reach a torque of 90 Newton meters, turn the handle until the “6” is on the
line (84+6=90). There is a scale on each side of the shaft for convenience.
After that, secure the handle with the counter screw. After use, set the
torque spanner to the lowest value to take the stress off the internal
springs.
Direction
The direction is set in the same way as on a ratchet with the toggle switch.
Torque is measured in clockwise rotation only.
Cleaning and Maintenance
The torque spanner does not require special maintenance. Store it in a dry
place and keep it lightly oiled. If the spanner is used extensively, it is
advisable to have it recalibrated by a professional from time to time.
Please Notice!
If possible, do not use extensions or joints between spanner and nut, these
may flex and lead to corrupted torque readings. Apply even force on the handle
and avoid jerking the handle when tightening screws, and immediately stop
applying force when you hear the unlocking snap from the spanner. A torque
spanner is a precision tool. Use it only to tighten screws, but do not use it
for loosening them or as a general-purpose ratchet, it is neither intended nor
suitable for this.
