Key Features:

  • Data Storage: Features a preset mode and data storage function, offering 8 groups of preset data and 500 groups of stored data for frequently used settings.
  • Mode Switch: Allows switching between TRACK mode (real-time value display) and PEAK mode (displays maximum applied torque).
  • Multiple Measurement Units: Supports four measurement modes: kg.cm, N.m, in.lb, and ft.lb.
  • Audible and Visual Indicators: Equipped with a buzzer and LED indicator. The LED turns green when approaching the target torque and red with a buzzer sound when the target torque is reached.
  • High Accuracy: Torque range of 0.15-5Nm with an accuracy of ±2% clockwise and ±3% counter-clockwise.
  • Included Bits: Comes with 10 long bits for various applications.

Setup

  1. Unboxing: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Verify that all items listed in the product contents are present.
  2. Battery Installation: The device is battery-powered and includes alkaline batteries. Locate the battery compartment, typically at the base of the handle, and ensure batteries are correctly inserted according to polarity markings.
  3. Initial Power-On: Press and hold the power button (usually marked with a power symbol) to turn on the device. The digital display should illuminate.
  4. Bit Attachment: Select the appropriate bit for your task. Insert the bit firmly into the chuck of the screwdriver until it clicks into place.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

To power on, press and hold the power button. To power off, press and hold the power button again until the display turns off. The device may also have an auto-off feature after a period of inactivity.

2. Mode Selection (TRACK / PEAK)

Press the 'M' button to cycle between TRACK mode and PEAK mode.

  • TRACK Mode: Displays the torque value in real-time as force is applied. This is useful for monitoring live torque.
  • PEAK Mode: Captures and displays the maximum torque value applied during the operation. This is useful for verifying the highest torque achieved.

4. Setting Target Torque and Preset Modes

Use the 'Λ' (Up) and 'V' (Down) buttons to adjust the target torque value. The device supports 8 groups of preset values (P1-P8) and can store up to 500 groups of data.

  • To access preset modes, press the 'C' button. Use 'Λ' and 'V' to navigate through P1-P8.
  • To save a current setting as a preset, refer to the detailed instructions in the full manual (not provided in this summary).

5. Applying Torque and Indicator Feedback

Apply torque to the fastener. As you approach the preset target torque value, the LED indicator will light up green. Once the target torque value is reached, the LED will turn red, and the buzzer will sound, indicating that the desired torque has been achieved.

Important: The loading torque should not exceed 120% of the maximum torque value to prevent damage to the tool.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Wipe the screwdriver with a clean, dry, or slightly damp cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquids enter the electronic components.
  • Storage: Store the device in its protective case in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries if storing for extended periods to prevent leakage.
  • Battery Replacement: When the battery indicator shows low power, replace the alkaline batteries promptly to ensure accurate readings and proper operation.
  • Calibration: While the device is factory calibrated, professional recalibration may be required periodically, especially after heavy use or if accuracy is suspected to be compromised. Consult a qualified service center for calibration services.
