tool will produce an accuracy of plus or minus 4%. You can hear and feel
when the desired torque setting has been reached. With careful and
considerate use, the wrench will give years of reliable service.

OPERATING THE TORQUE WRENCH

TORQUE SETTING ADJUSTMENT

The main body is marked in both Newton/Metres (N/m), and Metre Kilograms
(Mkg). The barrel is marked with 13 graduations, one graduation = 1N/m or

0.14 Mkg.

Example: To set the torque to 90N/m

1. Ensure the lock nut is loosened, by turning it anti-clockwise. Turn the knurled
handle until the zero mark on the vertical scale is in line with the 84 mark on
the horizontal scale.

2. Continue to turn the knurled handle until the 6 mark is in line with the centre
line.

3. Tighten the lock nut to secure the setting.

METHOD OF USE

NOTE: Preferably, DO NOT use knuckle or universal joints, as these could result

in incorrect torque settings.

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 the right hand, whilst steadying the 1/2”
square drive end with the left, 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.

• Apply even pressure throughout the operation. DO NOT jerk the

torque wrench when tightening a nut or bolt. This is a precise
measuring instrument and should be treated as such.

• Release the wrench immediately the click is heard/felt.

• Note that the ‘click’ becomes weaker with the lower torque settings.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

Each torque wrench has been lubricated before leaving the factory. If the
wrench has not been used for some time, operate it several times allowing the
lubricant to re-coat the internal working parts.

• After use, keep adjustment at lowest torque setting.

• DO NOT turn handle below lowest torque setting.

• Clean wrench by wiping. Never immerse in any type of cleaning

fluid.

• The wrench may occasionally require servicing/recalibration in order

to ensure accurate readings, in which case, contact your CLARKE
dealer.
