TORQUE SETTING ADJUSTMENT
1. Loosen the lock nut on the bottom of the torque wrench by turning it anti-clockwise.
2. Set the required torque by turning the knurled handle.
• Read the scale from the centreline adding on the number on the knurled handle.
3. Finally, tighten lock nut to secure the setting.
4. To loosely install or remove nuts without the torque facility, move the ratchet selection switch to the required side.
Note: The wrench cannot be used to tension left-handed threads.

TIGHTENING USING THE TORQUE WRENCH
1. Place the square drive on to the socket or extension bar, perpendicular to the nut/bolt to be tightened.
2. Gripping the knurled handle with one hand, whilst steadying the square drive end with the other, gently but firmly, pull the handle (i.e. in a clockwise direction) until a click is heard and a slight ‘break’ in the handle is felt. DO NOT turn any further.
IMPORTANT
• Do not jerk the torque wrench in any way to tighten a nut. Apply an even pressure throughout the operation.
• Release the wrench immediately the click is heard/felt.
• It should be noted that the ‘click’ from the mechanism becomes weaker with the lower torque settings.
• Do not turn handle below lowest torque setting.

MAINTENANCE
If the torque wrench has not been used for some time, operate it several times to allow the lubricant to re-coat the internal working parts.
• After use, return the adjustment to the lowest torque setting, i.e. it’s resting position. This will remove all strain from the mechanism.
• Clean the wrench by wiping. Never immerse it in any type of cleaning fluid.
• The wrench has been calibrated at the factory order to ensure accurate readings and should not require any re-calibration. If inaccuracy is suspected, contact your local Clarke dealer.
