3. Setup and Initial Use

3.1 Unpacking

Carefully remove the torque wrench and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage. Retain the packaging for future storage or transport.

3.2 Battery Installation

The wrench features an LCD screen, LED indicators, and several control buttons:

• LCD Screen: Displays torque values, units, and mode.
• Up/Down Arrows: Adjust target torque values.
• 'M' (Mode) Button: Switches between Track, Peak, and Torque Memory modes.
• 'U' (Unit) Button: Cycles through measurement units (Nm, ft-lb, in-lb, kg-cm, kg-m).
• 'C' (Clear/Power) Button: Clears values or powers the device on/off.

4.2 Selecting Measurement Units

Press the 'U' button to cycle through the available measurement units. The selected unit will be displayed on the LCD screen.

4.3 Setting Target Torque (Peak Mode)

1. Ensure the wrench is in Peak Mode by pressing the 'M' button until 'P' or 'Peak' is indicated on the display.
2. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to set your desired target torque value.
3. As you apply torque, the wrench will provide visual (LED), audible (buzzer), and tactile (vibration) feedback as you approach and reach the target torque.

4.4 Using Track Mode

In Track Mode, the LCD screen continuously displays the current torque being applied. This mode is useful for monitoring torque in real-time without a specific target setting.

4.5 Torque Memory Mode

The Torque Memory Mode allows you to review previously recorded torque values. Press the 'M' button to navigate to this mode and use the arrow buttons to scroll through stored readings.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

Wipe the wrench clean with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and electronic components.

5.2 Storage

Store the torque wrench in its protective carrying case in a dry, clean environment. Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity. Remove batteries if the wrench will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

5.3 Calibration

The wrench is factory calibrated to ±2% accuracy. For continued precision, periodic recalibration is recommended, especially after 12 months of use or 5000 cycles, as indicated on the calibration certificate.

6. Troubleshooting

• Wrench does not power on: Check battery installation and ensure batteries are not depleted. Replace if necessary.
• Inaccurate readings: Ensure the wrench is properly calibrated. Avoid dropping or subjecting the wrench to severe impacts.
• Display issues: If the display is dim or flickering, replace the batteries. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• No buzzer/vibration feedback: Check if the target torque is set correctly and if the wrench is in Peak Mode. Ensure the environment is not excessively noisy, obscuring the buzzer.
