2. Use the two arrows to set desired torque. Pressing the arrow pointed upward will raise the
torque and pressing the arrow pointed downward will lower the torque (pressing and holding
a button will cycle through the torque settings).
3. Simultaneously pressing the up and down arrows will switch the display torque between
ft•lbs and Nm (NOTE: TRANSITIONING UNITS AUTOMATICALLY RESETS THE TORQUE
TO THE LOWEST POSSIBLE VALUE).
4. After the LCD times out, once the trigger is pulled to reactive it, the torque will still be set to
the last setting.
TORQUE THROUGH THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY
If the tool is used continuously/rapidly to the point that the tool feels hot to the touch, the
tool accuracy can diminish and cause a slight increase in torque. Once the tool cools down, the
accuracy should return to normal.
The battery is recommended to be changed before the charge gets to 25% battery life,
although the torque should be consistent until the last few fastenings before the battery dies.
NOTE: This tool is designed to be operated with right-hand thread fasteners. There is
a 15% reverse bias to assist with breakout. If this tool is to be used with left-hand thread
fasteners consult the manufacturer.
TIGHTENING AND LOOSENING OF BOLTS OR NUTS
WARNING
•
Beware of non-fixed, freely rotating reaction arms or of rotating impact sockets.
•
Loose clothes, long hair, cables, etc. are always to be kept away from the danger/rotation
area. When the machine is put into operation, it is mandatory to wear ear protection, safety
shoes and safety goggles.
•
Never leave a running Torque Wrench unattended and always be ready to switch off the
machine if necessary. Maintain a safe distance of arm length.
•
Always place the impact socket or hex driver snugly onto the screw or nut/bolt. Faulty screw
or nut/bolt connections may result in exceeding the mechanical stress limit of the material,
causing it to break. Parts that splinter off may cause bruises or even life-threatening injuries.
When torquing and untorquing fasteners, always hold/position the Torque Wrench in line with
the fastener axis to avoid damage to the application. See Figure 1 on the following page.
1. Place your Torque Wrench completely over and on the fastener to be tightened or loosened.
2. Ensure the reaction area / movement is taken up by the Reaction Arm. Also, ensure the
reaction is stable and will support counter torque.
3. Hold the Torque Wrench perpendicular to the fastener axis for the complete duration of the
rotation process for tightening or loosening.
4. Ensure the direction switch is set to tighten. Then, press the trigger on the pistol grip to
tighten the fastener. The tool will rotate until the fastener becomes torqued, and the Torque
Wrench will then stop.
