MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
1. If wrench has not been used for a long period of time, set the wrench
to a low torque setting and operate it several times. This will allow the
internal lubricants to lubricate moving parts.
2. When wrench is not in use, make sure to set torque adjustment at the
lowest setting, 10 ft/lbs (13.6 Nm) (Fig. A). Do not turn handle below
lowest torque setting or damage may occur.
3. This wrench is a precision measuring instrument. Take care to operate
your wrench correctly. Store in a clean, dry environment.
4. Clean wrench by wiping with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not
immerse in any type of liquid or cleaner. This may damage the internal
components of the wrench.
5. It is recommended that you recalibrate your torque wrench every 12
months or if dropped. This will ensure proper accuracy and operation.

SETTING SPECIFIED TORQUE
This is a dual-range torque wrench marked with foot pounds (ft/lbs) and Newton meters (Nm) on opposite sides of wrench.
The torque scale is marked on the handle body, and precise subdivisions on the knurled handle (Fig. B). In these instructions
the handle body scale will be referred to as the “main graduation scale” and the knurled handle scale will be referred to as the
“micrometer sub graduation scale”.
