  • Ma ṣe lo wrench iyipo bi ọpa fifọ.
  • Ensure the socket or adapter is securely attached to the drive head.
  • Apply force smoothly and steadily to the handle. Avoid sudden jerking motions.
  • Stop applying force immediately once the audible "click" is heard or felt.
  • Store the torque wrench in its protective case when not in use, and set it to the lowest torque setting (but not below) to relieve spring tension.

4.1. Setting the Torque Value

  1. Ṣii Imudani naa: Pull down the lock ring located at the base of the handle. This will allow the handle to rotate freely.
  2. Adjust Main Scale: Rotate the handle to align the desired main torque value (e.g., 120 Ft-Lb) with the edge of the main scale.
  3. Adjust Minimum Scale: Continue rotating the handle until the desired minimum scale value (e.g., 1 Ft-Lb) aligns with the center line of the main scale. The total torque setting is the sum of the main scale value and the minimum scale value (e.g., 120 Ft-Lb + 1 Ft-Lb = 121 Ft-Lb).
  4. Tii Imudani naa: Push the lock ring back up to secure the handle and prevent accidental changes to the torque setting.

4.2. Asopọmọra Awọn ẹya ẹrọ

Press the quick-release button on the ratchet head to attach or detach sockets, the 1/2" to 3/8" adapter, or the 125mm extension bar. Ensure accessories are fully seated and locked into place before use.

5.1. Lílo Ìyípo

  1. Ensure the torque wrench is set to the correct torque value and locked.
  2. Attach the appropriate socket or adapter to the fastener.
  3. Hold the wrench by the handle and apply a slow, steady pull or push. Avoid gripping the head or the square drive.
  4. Continue applying force until an audible "click" is heard and a slight vibration is felt. This indicates that the preset torque has been reached.
  5. Immediately stop applying force once the click occurs. Over-torquing can damage the fastener or the component.

5.2. Dual-Direction Ratchet

The 72-tooth ratchet head allows for both clockwise and counter-clockwise torque application. Use the selector switch on the ratchet head to change the direction of operation. The 5-degree swing arc is ideal for working in tight spaces.

6. Itọju

  • Ninu: Wipe the wrench clean with a dry, soft cloth after each use. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
  • Ibi ipamọ: Always return the torque wrench to its lowest torque setting (but not below) before storing it in its protective case. This relieves tension on the internal spring, preserving its accuracy. Store in a dry, clean environment.
  • Atunṣe: Torque wrenches are precision instruments and should be recalibrated periodically, or after any significant impact or misuse, to ensure continued accuracy. Refer to a professional calibration service.
  • Ohun elo: The wrench body is forged from premium Chrome Vanadium (Cr-V) steel with a black oxide coating for durability and rust resistance. The handle is Cr-Mo for a secure grip.
