SAFETY WARNINGS
• TORQUE WRENCHES ARE MEASURING / TESTING
DEVICES AND AS SUCH THEY MAY NOT BE USED
TO LOOSEN SCREW CONNECTIONS.
• Do not use to loosen fasteners.
• Use as intended only. Do not use as hammer or
pry bar.
• Do not use handle extension to increase force.
Do not use as breaker bar.
• Avoid dropping or sliding the torque wrench.
Dropping the torque wrench on a hard surface
can cause the instrument to lose reliable
calibration. If you suspect that the wrench has
been dropped, have the tool inspected by the
manufacturer or reputable calibration service.
• Keep away from children.
• Inspect before every use; the device must only
be used when it functions properly. If the product
or part of the product is defective, it must be
taken out of operation and disposed of correctly.
• For your safety, service, calibration, and main-
tenance should be performed regularly by a
qualified technician.
• Avoid exposure to temperature extremes, high
humidity, fluid immersion and corrosive environ-
ments.

• Always store the torque wrench in the protec-
tive case provided when not in use.
• Use the tool, accessories and tool bits in
accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of tool,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the tool for
operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when using the tool.
• Beware of sharp edges. Handle sharp-edged
and pointed tools with care. Ensure sharp-ed-
ged and
• pointed tools are kept sharp as this will make
them easier to control.
• Do not force the tool. Always use the correct
tool for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and more safely at the rate for
which it was designed.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and ba-
lance at all times. This will enable better control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Always use the correct type of tool for the type
of material being worked on.
• NOTE The above list is non-exhaustive and is
recommended as a basic level of protection for
general tasks. Before starting any task, refer
to your local hardware store or a professional
for advice on which safety equipment would be
best suited to the task at hand.
• Do not exceed the recommended working range
of the torque wrench. Reliable measurements
are based on a percentage of the working
range. In general, mechanical wrenches have a
useable range from 20% to 100% of full scale.
2. MACHINE INFORMATION
Intended use
This torque wrench is specially designed to apply
a specific tightening torque value during a final as-
sembly process. This prevents the bolt or nut from
being overtightened. It is not allowed to loosen
screws, nuts or other fasteners with the tool. Do
not use the torque wrench as the primary means of
tightening fasteners, a ratchet wrench is strongly
advised for this. Always store the torque wrench in
lowest torque setting, to prolong the lifespan of the
tool and prevent the tool from losing its accuracy.
