Sealey 1/2" Sq Drive Digital Torque Wrench with Angle Function 20-200Nm

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey Product. Manufactured to a high standard, this tool will, if used according to these instructions and properly maintained, give years of trouble-free performance.

This rugged and resilient digital torque wrench is suitable for workshop and factory use. It features an LCD read-out with LED, vibration, and audible alarms to indicate achieved and target torque levels. The angle mode eliminates the need for separate angle gauges and protractors, providing an accurate and fast way to measure torque plus angle tightening sequences. It can also accumulate angle measurement for multiple turns, ideal for use where access is limited. Selectable track or peak modes and up to 5 user preset memories are available. Readouts are available in Nm, lb.in, lb.ft, kgf.m, or degrees. The reversible Chrome Vanadium 72-tooth ratchet allows torque reading in either direction. It is accurate to ±2% between 10% and 100% of the wrench's stated capacity. Supplied with a test certificate and storage case.

Safety

⚠️ WARNING! DO NOT use the torque wrench if damaged or thought to be faulty.

• Ensure all workshop safety rules, regulations, and conditions are complied with.
• Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
• Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
• Avoid over-torquing the wrench; exceeding 110% of the maximum torque range will cause loss of accuracy. "----" will be displayed when this occurs.
• Keep the wrench away from magnetic fields.
• On first usage, training by a qualified person is recommended.
• In operation, when you hear a continuous tone, cease activity, especially in the case of target torque/angle being low.
• Ensure all sockets, extensions, and drivers are rated correctly and are of flawless construction. Avoid using adaptors/extensions for best safety and accuracy.
• DO NOT use on electrical circuits; the plastic handle of the wrench is not insulated.
• DO NOT subject the wrench to excessive force, drops, shakes, shocks, or knocks.
• DO NOT operate the wrench in damp conditions.
• DO NOT operate the wrench in dusty conditions.
• DO NOT press or grip on the LCD or control panel area.
• DO NOT use the torque wrench if the batteries are low, as torque accuracy will be affected.

Specifications

Re-calibration

To ensure continued accuracy, it is recommended that the calibration of each wrench be checked annually, beginning one year after first use. Calibration should also be checked after any impact, over-torquing, or other misuse. Contact your Sealey stockist to arrange recalibration.

Repair Kit available. Part No: STW306.V2-RK. Contact your authorised Sealey stockist.

Operation

Installing Batteries

Visual Description: A diagram shows the battery compartment cap being unscrewed and screwed back on, with arrows indicating the direction of rotation. The text describes the process.

1. Unscrew the battery compartment cap anti-clockwise.
2. Insert four new AAA size batteries (positive end first) into the compartment. Push the battery cap on against the spring and screw clockwise to lock.

Note: DO NOT mix types of battery, or used and new ones. Keep battery terminals clean. If the battery voltage is low, the battery symbol ? will be displayed on the screen, and soon afterwards, the wrench will turn off. Replace with a new set of 4 batteries.

The Wrench Display and Control Panel

Visual Description: A diagram illustrates the wrench display and control panel. The display elements are labeled A-I: A: REAL TIME TORQUE VALUE, B: THE UNIT OF ANGLE, C: TORQUE UNITS, D: TARGET TORQUE INDICATOR, E: TARGET ANGLE INDICATOR, F: MEMORY STORAGE NUMBERS, G: BATTERY INDICATOR, H: PEAK / TRACK MODE, I: MINUS SYMBOL A.C.W. ROTATION.

Visual Description: A diagram shows the control panel buttons labeled 1-5: 1: POWER ON/OFF, 2: MEMORY PRESETS/SETTING SELECTION, 3: MEMORIZE TORQUE or ANGLE / CHANGE ROTATION, 4: ZERO TORQUE/ANGLE, 5: *BACK LIGHT/NEXT DIGIT SELECT/ ENTER ANGLE MODE. A note indicates: * Hold down for 3 seconds "on" / 2 seconds "off".

New User Notes: Familiarise yourself with the display and control panel. Practice setting up by holding the torque wrench 1/2" drive in a vice. Set units, torque, angle figures, and test for visual, audible, and vibration signals by sweeping the torque arm.
