3.1 Selecting and Inserting Bits

1. Identify the correct bit type and size for your application. Bits are color-coded and labeled on their holders for quick identification.
2. Insert the selected bit into the 1/4" hex magnetic bit holder of the torque screwdriver. Ensure the bit is fully seated.
3. If additional reach is required, insert the 100mm shaft extension into the screwdriver's bit holder first, then insert the desired bit into the extension.
4. For applications requiring a socket, attach the 1/4" socket to the screwdriver or extension, then attach the appropriate socket head.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Setting the Torque Value

The torque screwdriver allows for precise torque adjustment from 10 to 70 inch-pounds, with a minimum increment of 1 inch-pound and an accuracy of ±1 inch-pound.

1. Pull Up to Unlock: Grasp the black adjustment collar at the base of the screwdriver handle. Pull it upwards to unlock the torque setting mechanism.
2. Rotate to Set: While the collar is pulled up, rotate the handle to align the desired torque value (in inch-pounds) with the indicator line on the screwdriver body. The scale is clearly marked from 10 to 70 in-lb.
3. Lock: Once the desired torque is set, push the adjustment collar downwards until it clicks into place, locking the setting.

4.2 Using the Torque Screwdriver

With the correct bit inserted and torque set, apply the screwdriver to the fastener. Turn the handle clockwise until a distinct "click" is felt and heard. This indicates that the preset torque has been reached, and no further tightening is required. Do not continue to turn after the click, as this can overtighten the fastener and damage the tool or workpiece.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your torque screwdriver set.

• Material: The toolset is constructed from strong and sturdy S2 steel.
• Corrosion Resistance: All tools are protected with anti-rust oil to prevent corrosion.
• Regular Oiling: Apply extra anti-rust oil periodically to all metal components for longer-lasting performance.
• Storage: Store the set in its original case in a cool, dry area. Avoid humid environments, which can promote rust on the bits.
• Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the screwdriver and bits with a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your torque screwdriver, refer to the following common solutions:

• Torque Not Setting: Ensure the adjustment collar is fully pulled up before rotating to set the torque. Push it down firmly to lock the setting.
• Bits Slipping: Verify that the correct bit size is being used for the fastener. Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the magnetic bit holder.
• No "Click" Sound: Confirm the torque setting is above the minimum 10 inch-pounds. If the fastener is already tight, the click may occur immediately. Do not force the tool.
• Rust on Bits: Apply anti-rust oil as part of regular maintenance. Store the set in a dry environment.
