SETTING TORQUE
• Make sure that you adjust the wrench to the exact torque units your specifications
call for, or you will severely under-torque or over-torque, causing severe damage
to the equipment you are working on.
• Do not disassemble the wrench for any reason. Highly stressed internal
components may cause severe injury when released in an unintended manner.
• The wrench should be re-calibrated periodically. The calibration of the wrench
continuation tabs
should be checked at least once a year, after any abnormal handling or overloading,
or after 5,000 cycles ("clicks").
REVERSING DIRECTION
• Hold drive tang or socket attached to drive tang with one hand. With the other
hand, turn the dial on top of the ratchet head clockwise or reverse clockwise
notes
dependent on the desired ratchet direction. Unless stated otherwise, this ratchet is
calibrated in clockwise direction only.
Torque wrench indicates when the preset torque has been
reached by releasing for a few degree of free travel, which
is usually accompanied by an audible "click" signal.

• This torque wrench is a precision instrument intended to be used only to tighten
screws, bolts and nuts to a desired torque. Do not use it as a "nut breaker",
continuation tabs
pry bar, or in lieu of a regular ratchet wrench.
• Do not apply torque in excess of the maximum capacity of the wrench.
• Apply load to the grip only, and do not use any handle extension bars. Any
such misuse will result in inaccurate readings, and it may damage the wrench.
• Make sure that you adjust the wrench to the exact torque units your
specifications call for, or you will severely under-torque or over-torque,
notes causing severe damage to the equipment you are working on.
• Do not disassemble the wrench for
any reason. Highly stressed internal
components may cause severe injury
when released in an unintended
manner.
• The wrench should be re-calibrated
periodically. The calibration of the
wrench should be checked at least
once a year, after any abnormal
handling or overloading, or after
warnings
5,000 cycles ("clicks").

APPLYING TORQUE
• Insert an appropriate socket or drive attachment onto the square drive
of the ratchet and onto the fastener you want to tighten.
• Apply hand pressure to the grip, and ONLY TO THE GRIP. You may support the wrench
at the ratchet head with the other hand to steady it, especially when using long socket
extensions, without appreciably affecting the accuracy of the wrench.
• If, due to the required effort, you need to use both hands, put the other hand on top
of the first hand, never on any other part of the wrench.
• Apply slow and steady pull or push until the wrench momentarily releases, with or without
a distinct "click" sound. Release the pressure right at this point. DO NOT OVER-TORQUE!
USE OF EXTENSIONS
• Extensions that put the centre of the fastener being tightened away from
the centre line of the ratchet drive result in the effective torque being different
from the one shown on the wrench. Consequently, the torque set on the wrench
must be corrected using the formula shown on the below.

change. Easy to lock and unlock.

SETTING TORQUE
• Pull and hold the lock knob down.
• Turn the grip in the clockwise direction to increase the torque,
and in the counter-clockwise direction to decrease it.
• The major scales show the amount of torque in both primary and secondary units.
The minor scale shows fine increments in primary units. See examples below.
• Release the lock knob back to lock the grip. The minor scale may move
a small amount to either side of the centre line mark without affecting
the accuracy of your setting.

SAFETY WARNING
• Over-torqued or defective fasteners, sockets, as well as the wrench itself, may suddenly
break causing you to lose balance, fall, or to suffer other trauma. Be sure that you have
firm footing, are properly balanced, and if necessary are using appropriate harness,
back support, or other safety device.

MAINTENANCE
• When not in use, adjust the wrench to its lowest reading and store it in a dry and clean location.

• With the exception of the ratchet mechanism, do not lubricate the wrench. The ratchet
mechanism may be lubricated as needed with a few drops of light machine oil.
• Do not use acetone or other solvents to clean the wrench, use window cleaner or denatured
alcohol applied with a clean cloth instead.
• With the exception of the ratchet mechanism, there are no user-serviceable parts. Do not

disassemble the torque wrench for any reason. When service is needed, send the wrench
to the nearest factory-authorized service centre.
CERTIFICATION
• This torque wrench is certified to have been calibrated prior to shipment
to the accuracy of +/- 4% in the clockwise direction.
