Maintenance and Servicing
Procedures not specically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualied technician.
TO PREVENT INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for loose hardware, misalignment or binding of moving parts, cracked or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation.
2. If the Torque Wrench has not been used for some time, turn the knurled handle (clockwise and counterclockwise) several times to re-lubricate the internal workings. Then, operate at a low torque setting several times. This ensures proper operation.
Do not turn knurled handle below the lowest torque setting.
3. Wipe Torque Wrench with a cloth to clean. Do not immerse in any cleaning solution. This would damage the internal lubrication.
4. Every 6 months, have the Wrench calibrated
and serviced by a qualied technician.
Note: Replacement parts are not available for this item.
