3.2 Setting the Torque
WARNING
ALWAYS make sure that you use the scale with the requisite
unit. Non-compliance of the requisite scale can result in faulty
screw connections. These might cause damage, SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH.
Familiarize yourself with the torque wrench and its scales.
The torque wrenches are equipped with a double scale (N·m /
lbf·ft or lbf·in). Check the unit and scale.
When using tool accessories with depth gauge different than
the depth gauge specified on the certificate, an adjustment to
the torque set must be made (see 3.3). The reason for this is
the extension/reduction of the torque wrench's effective
length. As a result, the torque which has effect on the screw
connection gradually becomes higher or lower than the
torque set.
The desired torque ALWAYS has to be set before using the
torque wrench:
Pull the locking button (1)
out of the end of the
handle (2).

12
EN
Turn the handle (2) until the
desired torque in the
particular scale (3) N·m or
lbf·ft / lbf·in is identical with
the mark in the reading
glass.
Make a precise
adjustment of the main
scale using the
micrometer scale (4).
Insert the locking button
(1) into the end of the
handle (2) again. Care
must be taken to ensure
that the locking button (1)
locks into place correctly.
Only then has the torque
been set correctly.
