Please read and understand entire manual, including all safety information, before using torque

wrench. This tool is a precision measuring instrument. Handle with care and store properly. Do

not attempt to increase leverage of this wrench with any other device. Failure to follow all

instructions could result in damage to torque wrench, property damage, or injury.

• At low torque settings, pull wrench slowly to observe click.

• Wrench is shipped ready to use, calibrated and tested to an accuracy of +/- 4%. To maintain this

accuracy, it is important that wrench is stored at lowest torque setting, 25 .-lb (33.9 Nm).

This setting relieves extra tension on the internal spring, eliminating fatigue that can adversely

affect accuracy.
