information into account in order to prevent SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
 NEVER use a faulty torque tester.
 ALWAYS have the torque tester calibrated on a regular
basis.
Gedore recommends once every 12 months as the minimally
required calibration interval. Sensitive torque wrenches,
a firm’s own specifications, or quality requirements can also
result in considerably shorter calibration intervals for the
torque tester.
NOTICE.
NEVER neglect recalibrating the torque tester. Improper
calibration can cause the torque tester to be damaged.
Calibration should ONLY be implemented by authorized
specialists, an accredited DKD calibration laboratory, or the
manufacturer.
