GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Never exceed the permitted maximum torque value for this wrench as
given in the Technical Specification. Overloading the wrench could cause
damage.
2. Ensure that associated adaptors, extensions and sockets are rated to
equal or greater than the torque being applied.
3. Always use the correct size and type of socket for the nut/bolt.
4. Never use sockets showing wear or cracks
5. Always pull the wrench towards you. Never push it away and adjust your
stance to prevent a fall should something give way unexpectedly.
6. Never operate the torque wrench or remove the batteries with wet hands.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Do not dispose of metal products with general household waste. All
tools, accessories and packaging should be sorted, taken to a recy-
cling centre and disposed of appropriately according to the laws
governing Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment at a recognised

PREPARATION FOR USE
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
1. Open the cover of the battery
compartment by turning it anti-
clockwise & insert four AAA batteries
as shown. Close the compartment
cover and the wrench is ready to use.
TURNING THE WRENCH ON /OFF
1. Press the button to turn on.
• The unit will bleep and the complete
display screen will momentarily light up.
2. Press the button again to turn the system off.
TURNING THE DISPLAY ILLUMINATION ON/OFF
1. The display illumination can be turned on or off by pressing the
button.
AUTO POWER-OFF SETTING
When enabled, this setting means that the wrench will turn off automatically if
no buttons are pressed during a given time. Change the Auto/Off setting as
follows:
1. Once the unit is powered up, press three times and the default
Auto/Off time of 5(5 minutes) is shown on the display.
2. Press the button to select the shut-off time of 5 or 15 minutes, or OFF
to turn off the Auto-Off function.
3. Press the button to confirm the selection. The wrench will return to
the measurement mode.
Note; If no buttons are touched for 3 seconds the wrench will return to
the measurement mode.
8
SELECTING THE PEAK OR TRACK MODE
1. After turning on the display, the system defaults to “Track” mode, i.e. the
real-time torque during use will be displayed.
2. Enter the mode selection by pressing the button once.
3. Press the button to select T(track) mode or P(Peak) mode.
4. Press the button three times to confirm the selection and return to
the measurement mode.
Note; If no buttons are pressed for 3 seconds the wrench will remain at
the last selection of ‘Peak’ or ‘Track’ mode and return to
Measurement mode.
When in ‘Peak’ mode, the maximum torque value measured will be saved
and be shown on the display untill the next task is performed. You can then
proceed to the next action or press to zero the wrench.
SELECTING UNITS OF MEASUREMENT
1. Press the button twice to select “UNIT SELECTION”.
2. Press the button repeatedly to select either N.m / lbf.ft / lbf.in / kgf.m.
3. Press the button twice to confirm the unit selection.
Note; If no buttons are pressed for 3 seconds the wrench will remain at
the last unit of measurement selected, and return to
‘Measurement’ mode.
TARGET TORQUE SETTING
The wrench offers 5 pre-set alarm values (M1to M5) for the target torque.
These values must always be at least 10% of the maximum capability of the
wrench.
The wrench will be delivered with all 5 values pre-set to the maximum
permitted (100%). Note that setting these alarm values will not prevent the
wrench from measuring to its maximum capability.
If using the wrench with no pre-set alarms in use, one pre-set value must
always remain set to 100% of the wrench maximum operating torque. The
target torques are alarm values and the unit will always measure throughout
its operating range.
When the pre-set alarm values have been set, the wrench will always default
to the last value used as indicated by the setting number (M1 to M5).
To set the pre-set alarm values proceed as follows.
1. Press the button to turn the wrench on.
2. Press the button repeatedly to select the pre-set location (M1 to M5)

3. To set the torque value, press and hold the button for 2 secs.
When the desired value is reached, press the button to move to the
next digit. Repeat this for all digits.
• is shown on the screen and the last saved value is displayed with
the first digit flashing.
4. Press the button to zero the digit or repeatedly press the button,
to increase the value of the flashing digit.
5. When the required torque is set, press to save the pre-set value at
the current memory location.
Note: “ERRO” will be shown if the pre-set torque is less than the mini-
mum value of 10% capacity or exceeds the 100% maximum
capacity. After 3 seconds, the wrench returns to the target torque
value setting.
Note: After pressing the button to access the torque SELECT
mode, if no selection is made with 3 seconds the wrench will
return to the measurement mode.

OPERATION
CAUTION: NEVER USE THE TORQUE WRENCH WHEN THERE IS A LOW
BATTERY CONDITION AS THE TORQUE WRENCH ACCURACY WILL BE
AFFECTED.
CAUTION: NEVER EXCEED THE PERMITTED MAXIMUM TORQUE VALUE
FOR THIS WRENCH. OVERLOADING THE WRENCH COULD CAUSE
DAMAGE.
1. Select the socket required and attach it to the square drive. If possible,
avoid the use of flexible extensions or universal joints which could possibly
result in inaccurate torque readings.
2. Engage the nut or bolt and apply a steady pull with the wrench.
• As the torque reaches half the target value, the LED will show a
yellow light, as the target torque is reached, the LED will illuminate in
green and the alarm will bleep. When the target is exceeded by
approximately 2% the LED will show a red light accompanied by a
continuous alarm tone.
• If in the PEAK mode, the measured torque will be displayed and the
highest value measured will remain as a flashing display until the
wrench is re-set for the next measurement by pressing the button,
or the wrench reaches the time limit to automatically power-off.
• If in the TRACK mode, the actual torque applied at any moment will
be displayed.
3. When the continuous tone is heard, you have reached/exceeded your
target torque, so stop pulling immediately.
Note: if the wrench is operated to its maximum range, the coloured LED
will indicate green at 98% of the range, yellow at 100% and then
change to red with a continuous tone and ‘ERRO ‘ displayed
above this point.
CARE OF THE TORQUE WRENCH DURING USE
1. For assured accuracy of the wrench, periodic self re-setting is necessary as
described under MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION.
2. Check that the wrench capacity is adequate for the anticipated load
before proceeding and do not exceed the maximum torque setting for
the wrench as stated in the Technical Specification.
3. Re-set the wrench as described under MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION, if
you believe its capacity may have been exceeded.
