Don't use extensions on the handle.
The torque measurement will be
inaccurate and the tool could
become damaged.
STOP applying torque when you hear and
feel a click. This means you’ve reached the
desired torque value.

APPLYING TORQUE
OPERATION
For off-axis tools, like a crowfoot
wrench, calculate a leverage
adjustment on page 5.
Attach a drive tool to the drive tang.
The flex joint provides clearance for
working around obstacles but, when
flexed, can reduce accuracy by up to
4 percent due to the offset from the
plane of rotation.
Engage the drive tool on the fastener
or fitting. For the most accurate
reading, the ratchet head must be
parallel with the wrench body.
Grip the center of the handle and apply
torque SLOWLY in a clockwise direction.
Don't use the torque wrench on
electrical circuits. The handle
doesn’t provide insulation from
electrical current.
