OPERATION

1. Select the socket required and attach it to the square drive. If possible, avoid the

use of flexible extensions or universal joints which could possibly result in

inaccurate torque readings.

2. Engage the nut or bolt and apply a steady pull with the wrench.

• As the torque reaches half the target value, the LED will show a yellow

light, as the target torque is reached, the LED will illuminate in green and

the alarm will bleep. When the target is exceeded by approximately 2%

the LED will show a red light accompanied by a continuous alarm tone.

• If in the PEAK mode, the measured torque will be displayed and the

highest value measured will remain as a flashing display until the wrench is

re-set for the next measurement by pressing the

button, or the

wrench reaches the time limit to automatically power-off.

• If in the TRACK mode, the actual torque applied at any moment will be

displayed.

3. When the continuous tone is heard, you have reached/exceeded your target

torque, so stop pulling immediately.

NOTE: If the wrench is operated to its maximum range, the coloured LED will

indicate green at 98% of the range, yellow at 100% and then change to red

with a continuous tone and

‘ERRO‘ displayed above this point.

CARE OF THE TORQUE WRENCH DURING USE

1. For assured accuracy of the wrench, periodic self re-setting is necessary as

described under MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION.

2. Check that the wrench capacity is adequate for the anticipated load before

proceeding and do not exceed the maximum torque setting for the wrench as

stated in the Technical Specification.

3. Re-set the wrench as described under MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION, if you

believe its capacity may have been exceeded.

4. NEVER apply force with the torque wrench when the power is off. Always turn the

unit on before using it.

5. Take care not to damage the LCD display.

CAUTION: NEVER USE THE TORQUE WRENCH WHEN THERE IS A LOW

BATTERY CONDITION AS THE ACCURACY WILL BE AFFECTED.

CAUTION: NEVER EXCEED THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM TORQUE VALUE FOR

THIS WRENCH. OVERLOADING COULD CAUSE DAMAGE.
