4. Setup
Before first use, ensure the torque wrench is clean and free from any debris. No assembly is required for the main unit.
4.1 Setting the Torque Value
- Locate the locking mechanism at the base of the handle.
- Unlock the handle by rotating the locking ring.
- Rotate the handle to adjust the main scale to the desired torque value. The main scale is marked in Newton-meters (Nm).
- Use the micro-scale on the handle to fine-tune the setting. Align the desired micro-scale mark with the main scale line.
- Once the desired torque is set, lock the handle by rotating the locking ring back into position. This prevents accidental changes during use.

5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Using the Torque Wrench
- Select the appropriate socket for your fastener and attach it firmly to the 1/2" drive square of the torque wrench.
- Set the desired torque value as described in Section 4.1.
- Place the socket onto the fastener.
- Apply steady, smooth pressure to the handle in the tightening direction. Do not use jerky movements.
- Continue applying pressure until you hear and feel a distinct "click" from the wrench. This indicates that the preset torque value has been reached.
- Stop applying pressure immediately after the click. Do not continue to turn the wrench.
- Remove the wrench from the fastener.
Note: For critical applications, it is recommended to check the torque with a calibrated torque tester periodically.
5.2 Reversing the Ratchet Direction
The ratchet head features a lever to change the direction of rotation. Simply flip the lever on the ratchet head to switch between tightening and loosening modes.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your torque wrench.
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe the wrench clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Storage: Always return the torque wrench to its lowest torque setting (10 Nm) before storing it. This relieves tension on the internal spring mechanism, preserving its calibration accuracy. Store the wrench in its original protective case in a dry, cool, and clean environment.
- Lubrication: The internal mechanism is factory lubricated and generally does not require user lubrication. If the click mechanism feels stiff or inconsistent, professional servicing is recommended.
- Calibration: Torque wrenches are precision instruments and should be calibrated periodically, typically every 12 months or after 5,000 cycles, whichever comes first. Calibration should be performed by a qualified service center.
