3 Square drive with locking ball

4 Head piece

5 Torque scale

6 Locking ring

7 Handle

Setting the torque

• Pull the locking ring (6) in the direction of the handle (7) and hold it there.

• Rotate the handle and set the desired torque by means of the scale (5). The rough scale is

scaled in steps of 10 Nm, the ﬁ ne scale (moves while turning the handle) in steps of 1 Nm.

With this division of rough and ﬁ ne scale the torque of 40 - 200 Nm can be accurately set in

steps of 1 Nm.

• Release the locking ring (6) so that it locks in place (in steps of 1 Nm).

Do not over-wind the handle. The torque value that you set, must be within the limit

values of the torque wrench’s adjustment range (40 - 200 Nm).

Using the torque wrench

• First set the desired torque, see above.

• Depending on the screw, nut or bolt that you want to tighten with a speciﬁ c torque, a suitable

socket wrench insert matching the square drive (3) must be used.

Do not use the torque wrench with adapters for other square sizes but only with a

socket wrench insert of the same size as the torque wrench’s square drive (3).

• Press and hold the push-button (2) and attach the insert of your choice into the square drive

(3). Release the push button (2). The locking ball in the square drive now locks the socket

wrench insert in the square drive (3).

• Select the rotational direction (left or right) using the switch lever (1).

• Now tighten the screw/nut/bolt slowly and evenly with the torque wrench, until you hear a click

noise of the torque wrench and simultaneously feel a mechanical movement which indicates

that the torque has been reached.

The higher the adjusted torque, the louder the click noise and the stronger the per-

ceptible mechanical movement.

• If the torque wrench is no longer required, it must be fully loosened.

If the torque wrench is not loosened, this may cause the actual torque to deviate

signiﬁ cantly from the scale in the long run.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The product does not require any maintenance and should never be disassembled for any

Safety Instructions

The warranty will be void in the event of damage caused by failure to observe

these safety instructions! We do not assume any liability for any resulting dam-

age!

We shall not accept liability for damage to property or personal injury caused

by incorrect handling or non-compliance with the safety instructions! In such

• The product is not a toy and it should be kept out of the reach of children.

• Check the product for any damage before using it. If you notice any damage, do not

use the product any longer.

• When using the torque wrench, observe the safety and accident prevention regula-

tions applicable in your country.

• Don’t use any lever extension (to increase the leverage while working with the

torque wrench). This will lead to damage of the torque wrench.

Don’t use any attachments with joints either as these may affect the torque value.

Do not overload the torque wrench. The torque wrench may not be used to loosen

screws, nuts or bolts.

Never use the torque wrench as a striking tool, this will destroy it.

• Only attach the torque wrench to the screw/nut/bolt at a right angle. Do not tilt it,

otherwise this will lead to a wrong torque when tightening the screw/nut/bolt.

• Hold the torque wrench by its handle only when tightening a screw, nut or bolt.

• During operation or storage of the torque wrench, protect it from humidity, dust and

dirt, oil or chemicals. Also never drop it; it will become damaged and unusable.

• The torque wrench is a hand tool calibrated by the manufacturer. For this reason, it

must be handled with care.

• If you have any reason to assume that the torque wrench is inaccurate/has deviated

from the calibration range (e. g. after being dropped), do not use it any longer.

• In schools, educational centres, hobby and self-help workshops, the use of the

product is to be supervised by trained employees in a responsible manner.

• Do not leave the packaging material carelessly lying around, as it could become a

dangerous plaything for children.

• If you are in doubt about how to use the device correctly, or have any questions

not covered by these operating instructions, please contact our technical support or
