5.4 Setting Target Torque and Preset Modes

To set a target torque value or utilize preset modes:

1. Press the M button to enter the preset mode selection (M0-M9).
2. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to select a preset slot (e.g., M1, M2).
3. Press the C button to confirm selection or to adjust the value within a preset.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to adjust the desired torque value.
5. Once the desired value is set, the wrench is ready for use.

5.5 Buzzer and LED Indicators

When applying torque, the wrench provides feedback:

• As you approach the set torque value (e.g., 85-90%), the LED lights will illuminate, and the buzzer will emit a warning sound.
• When 100% of the set torque value is reached, the LED lights will change (e.g., to red), and the buzzer will sound continuously, indicating to stop applying force.
