• W hen using the torque wrench, observe the safety and accident prevention regulations ap-
plicable in your country.
D epending on where and how you use the torque wrench, you may have to wear suitable
protective clothing.
• D on't use any lever extension (to increase the leverage while working with the torque wrench).
This will lead to damage of the torque wrench.
D on't use any attachments with joints, either, as these may affect the torque value.
• D o not overload the torque wrench. The torque wrench may not be used to loosen screws, nuts
or bolts.
• N ever use the torque wrench as a striking tool; this will destroy it.
• O nly attach the torque wrench to the screw/nut/bolt at a right angle. Do not tilt it, otherwise this
will lead to a wrong torque when tightening the screw/nut/bolt.
• H old the torque wrench only by its handle when tightening a screw, nut or bolt.
• T he torque wrench is not suitable for work on components that are connected to a voltage
source. There is a risk of a life-threatening electric shock!
• D uring operation or storage of the torque wrench, protect it from humidity, dust and dirt, oil or
chemicals. Also never drop it; it will become damaged and unusable.
• T he torque wrench is a hand tool calibrated by the manufacturer. For this reason, it must be
handled with care.
• I f you have any reason to assume that the torque wrench is inaccurate/has deviated from the
calibration range (e. g. after being dropped), do not use it any longer.
• I n schools, educational centres, hobby and self-help workshops, the use of the product is to be
supervised by trained employees in a responsible manner.
• D o not leave the packaging material carelessly lying around, as it could become a dangerous

Setting the torque
• Pull the locking ring (6) in the direction of the handle (7) and hold it there.
• R otate the handle and set the desired torque by means of the scale (5). The rough scale is scaled in steps
of 20 Nm, the fine scale (moves while turning the handle) in steps of 2 Nm.
W ith this division of rough and fine scales, the torque of 60 - 340 Nm can be precisely set in steps of 2 Nm.
• Release the locking ring (6) so that it locks in place (in steps of 2 Nm).
Do not over-wind the handle. The torque value that you set must be within the limit values of the
torque wrench's adjustment range (60 - 340 Nm).
Using the torque wrench
• First set the desired torque, see above.
• D epending on the screw, nut or bolt that you want to tighten with a specific torque, a suitable socket wrench
insert matching the square drive (3) must be used.
D o not use the torque wrench with adapters for other square sizes but only with a socket wrench
insert of the same size as the torque wrench's square drive (3).
• P ress and hold the push-button (2) and attach the insert of your choice into the square drive (3). Release
the push button (2). The locking ball in the square drive now locks the socket wrench insert in the square
drive (3).
• Select the rotational direction (left or right) using the switch lever (1).
• N ow tighten the screw/nut/bolt slowly and evenly with the torque wrench, until you hear a click noise of the
torque wrench and simultaneously feel a mechanical movement which indicates that the torque has been
reached.
T he higher the adjusted torque, the louder the click noise and the stronger the perceptible me-
chanical movement.
• I f the torque wrench is no longer required, it must be fully loosened.
I f the torque wrench is not loosened, this may cause the actual torque to deviate significantly from
the scale in the long run.
Maintenance and cleaning
The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any reason. Servicing
or repair may be carried out only by a specialist.
