Using The Torque Wrench
• For first time use, or after a long period without use, adjust wrench up and down a few
times to distribute lubricant throughout the mechanism.
• Tighten in a slow and controlled manner and stop applying pressure immediately the
required setting has been reached. Tightening too quickly will result in an inaccurate
final torque figure.
• Take care to stop applying further torque once the desired setting has been reached.
Over-torqueing can damage the wrench.
• When finished using the instrument, wind back the adjustment ferrule until the legend
STOP appears in the in the adjustment indicator sight window (refer to Figure 1). Take
care not to turn the adjuster lower than the STOP setting or the mechanism may be
damaged.
• Never use the torque wrench to tighten a fastener to a higher torque than the maximum
torque setting.
• Take care of the torque wrench and keep it clean; do not store in areas of high
temperature or humidity.
