GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Please study these instructions carefully before attempting to operate this wrench.
2. Never apply more torque than the maximum scale reading.
3. This torque wrench is designed for manual tightening of threaded fasteners only.
DO NOT USE IT AS A NUT-BREAKER OR FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.
4. Over torqued or defective fasteners and sockets may suddenly break. TO PREVENT INJURY,
KEEP PROPER FOOTING AND BALANCE AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT USE THE WRENCH IN PLACES
FROM WHICH YOU MAY FALL OR SLIP, OR AROUND ROTATING MACHINERY.
5. This torque wrench will not prevent you from applying more torque than set - this is not a torque
limiting tool. Learn how different amounts of torque ‘feel’ so you will reduce the possibility of
damage and/or injury due to accidental over torquing.
6. APPLY FORCE TO THE GRIP ONLY. DO NOT USE ‘CHEATER BARS’.
e.g. (A piece of pipe placed over the hand grip).
7. All torque wrenches should be calibrated at least once every 12 months or every 1,000 cycles,
whichever comes first. (See care and maintenance section on pg.7 for full care procedure).
8. This torque wrench operates in both directions, to tighten left and right threads.
9. Lifetime Warranty does not cover calibration.
10. Be sure all components, including all adaptors, extensions drivers and sockets are rated to
match or exceed the torque being applied. (See pg.6 for calculating the effect of torque wrench
extensions).
11. Always pull, do not push on the wrench handle and adjust your stance to prevent a possible fall
should something give.
