Recommended Use
General Characteristics
Changing the Batteries
The TW Series Digital Torque Wrench Torque and Angle Model is a state of the art hand-held device suitable for both torque auditing
and torque application. As a precision tool, it is highly accurate as well as highly repeatable. For product portfolio cohesion, the
Torque and Angle Model uses the same organic LED display, membrane keypad, user interface and PC based data management
software as other standard products within this range of electronic torque tools. Additionally, training time is kept to a minimum due
to the ease of use of the tool itself.
Our products are demonstrated to have an accuracy of 1% or better, and are both simple to set and calibrate as well as coming with
a fully traceable ISO 6789-2003 Certication.
The TW Series Digital Torque Wrench Torque and Angle Model has both visual and audible alarms that signal good or bad torque.
Furthermore, there is a visual battery life indicator, alarms for preset value approach, fastener overload, range overload and maximum
mechanical overload.
The TW Series Digital Torque Wrench Torque and Angle Model is specically designed for use in
all industrial settings and applications where high accuracy and repeatability combined with a
complete torque data management and control system are required.
Accuracy Right hand side torque = 1% of actual reading
Left hand side torque = 1% of actual reading

1. Unscrew the metal end cap at the opposite end of the wrench to the ratchet head
2. Remove the four AA cell batteries and replace with a new set
3. Screw back the metal end cap
4. Turn on the wrench and check to ensure the date and time are both set correctly

Ratchet Head Guidelines
• Store in a cool, dry location
• Oil frequently to prevent ratchet head from becoming stiff and seizing
• Do not exceed specied torques
• Do not use external forces on ratchet (i.e. a hammer)
• Max Torques: 1/4” = 30 N.m, 3/8” = 135 N.m, 1/2” = 340 N.m
Guidelines
The following are a set of general guidelines for using and storing the wrench that
should be adhered to at all times.
• All torque tools are precision instruments and should be handled with care
• Do not subject the tool to torque loads in excess of the model range
• Do not use the tool to loosen fasteners tightened beyond maximum tool capacity
• Using non-linear extensions may affect the accuracy of the readings
• The use of torque extensions will increase the torque applied
• Do not operate the tool unless it has been powered on and the display screen can
be read clearly
• Do not drop the tool or subject it to heavy impact blows
• Ensure the tool is stored in a cool, dry location to protect from damage
• Adhere to safety instructions
• Torque should be applied to the center of the torque wrench handle as torque is
length dependent
• Ensure safe footing and safe force application
Calibration
For calibration instructions please contact ASG.

Step 2: Press to operate in Peak Mode
Step 3: Press to store the peak value if required
In Just Angle Mode, the maximum torque reading will remain on the OLED display
when the load is removed as long as the torque loaded is above the 10% of
maximum capacity threshold. The angle turned from 5% of the tool span until
maximum torque reading is also displayed. The user has the option to store the
reading in memory. If storage of the reading is not required, the user may continue
to the next measuring task.
Step 1: Press to scroll to Just Angle Mode
Step 2: Press to operate in Just Angle Mode
Step 3: Press to store the peak torque and peak angle values if necessary. If storage
is not required, then apply a new load to test again
