Operating Instructions
Applying Torque
Attach the appropriate socket or bit to the square drive of the torque wrench. Place the socket onto the fastener. Apply steady, increasing force to the handle until you hear and feel the distinct "click" of the wrench. Stop applying force immediately after the click. Do not continue to tighten the fastener beyond this point.
Direction of Rotation
The ratchet head can be switched to allow for tightening (clockwise) or loosening (counter-clockwise) by adjusting the lever on the ratchet mechanism.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Wipe the torque wrench clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the tool's finish or internal components.
Storage
Store the torque wrench in its protective case or a suitable dry environment. For long-term storage, it is recommended to set the torque wrench to its lowest setting (but not below the minimum specified range) to relieve tension on the internal spring mechanism.
Calibration
Torque wrenches are precision instruments and require periodic calibration to maintain accuracy. Refer to local standards or manufacturer recommendations for calibration intervals. Typically, annual calibration is recommended, or after any significant impact or misuse.
Troubleshooting
Wrench does not click at set torque
Ensure the torque setting is correctly locked. Verify that the applied force is steady and not too rapid. If the issue persists, the wrench may require calibration or servicing.
Inaccurate torque readings
Check if the wrench has been dropped or misused. Ensure the wrench is clean and free from debris. Calibration may be necessary.
Difficulty adjusting torque
Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged before attempting to adjust the torque. Clean any debris from the adjustment mechanism.
