• Do not use any universal joints when working with
the torque wrench, and if possible avoid using any
rigid extension bars; these can falsify the torque.
• Do not use the torque wrench as a lever to
loosen excessively tight bolts; this can affect the
wrench's accuracy or damage the wrench.
• If you are not yet used to using the tool, you
should first familiarise yourself with the way
it triggers. Try the torque wrench out, set to
a relatively low value, on a tight bolt, and pay
attention to the slight jerk and the sound of the
crack as the trigger signal.
• For reasons of safety, unauthorised modification
and/or changes to the product are not permitted.
4 | How to use
4.1 | Adjustment
The torque wrench has a 3/8 inch ratchet head which can turn clock-
wise or anticlockwise. The adapter included with the wrench allows
1/4 and 1/2 inch sockets to be inserted. There is an adjustment
scale with a turning handle for fine setting and a locking mechanism
at the lower end. The torque values can be read from a Nm scale
or a ft-lb scale. The display is accurate to about +/- 4 percent. The
torque wrench is only suitable for right-hand threads.
First, refer to the workshop manual, for example, to find out the
torque for the bolt to be tightened. Now, release the lock (E) at the
end of the handle. The value can be set as follows by turning the
handle (D).
