Our Warranty Policy on serial-numbered items gives 12 months warranty from date
of purchase, which in the case of torque wrenches means we will test the calibration,
repair or replace if necessary and return the goods free of charge.
Upon manufacture, a calibration certificate is produced on the date the product is
tested, before it is dispatched. This is included with your purchase.
The product is new and unused until its sold, so the purchase receipt date is the start
of use date. If the product needs to be tested for certification purposes at 3, 6 or 12
month intervals (depending on the standard the workshop is working to) it should be
tested 3, 6 or 12 months after the start of use date (purchase receipt date).

You will be asked to provide contact details, the serial number of the product, where
the product was purchased from, and the purchase date.

We would like to thank you for purchasing this Laser Tools torque wrench and hope
it gives you many years of service. These new digital torque ratchets are designed to
secure fasteners that need to be tightened to lower torque figures and when therefore
over-tightening is a real risk. Smaller in length than a full sized torque wrench, they give
a convenient and functional solution to this risk of over-tightening.
The 1/4" drive model (part number 6207) is a compact 200mm long and covers the
range 6 - 30Nm (4.4 - 22.1 ft/lb); the 3/8" drive model (part number 6206) is 210mm
long and ranges between 12 - 60Nm (8.9 - 44.3 ft/lb); the 1/2" drive model (part number
6205) is 255mm long and ranges between 20 - 100Nm (14.8 - 73.8 ft/lb).
With a clear digital display, they all feature a very smooth 72 tooth ratchet mechanism,
batteries are included and they are very accurate (plus or minus 2-3%). Includes an
automatic shut-off function. Supplied in a sturdy blow mould case for storage.
Maintenance of this precision tool is essential to ensure its continued service so we
would like to remind you how to store and preserve its functionality (see page 6).
Introduction

Instructions
Refer to Controls diagram on page 3.
How to select the unit measurement scale:
1. Press Memory (J) and Peak/Trace (I) buttons together.
2. Release to select different torque measurement scales (Nm | ft/lb | in/lb | Kg/m).
3. The unit value will automatically change when the measurement scale is selected.
How to select torque settings and use the torque wrench:
1. Select and hold the + button (G) and/or the - button (H) until the required torque
figure is reached.
2. The target will display (flashing) for 10 seconds then revert to 0.0.
3. To reduce the setting continue to press and hold the + button (G) until it goes past
the maximum setting (for example, 100Nm, 73.8lb/ft), then set to the required torque
figure.
4. Slowly and steadily apply torque to the fastener.
5. The LEDs (E) will flash and an intermittent warning beeper will sound when you are
20% away from the target torque.
6. When full torque is reached the LEDs will stop flashing (stay on) and a constant tone
will be heard.
7. The required torque figure has been reached so do not apply further torque.
8. Tighten in a slow and controlled manner and stop applying pressure immediately
the torque wrench indicates the required setting has been reached. Tightening too
quickly will result in an inaccurate final torque figure.
How to set peak and trace modes:
1. Press and release the Peak/Trace button (I) (with the wrench turned On).
2. The display will show PtoP (Peak)* or trACE (Trace)*.
3. The display will revert to 0.0 after 2 seconds.
4. * — Peak display stays at highest torque setting reached; Trace display follows
torque setting being applied, then returns to 0.
Memory:
1. Turn the wrench On with On/Off button (F).
2. Press the Memory button (J) and release.
3. The display will show the memory number P01 then the torque setting for that
memory position.
4. Press Memory button again for the next memory pre-set position.
5. The memory settings show the last torque figures set manually by the user. The
display P01 is the latest setting, P50 would be the oldest setting.

Turning Off:
1. If you do not use the wrench for 70 seconds the tool will turn off automatically.
2. To manually turn off the wrench press the On/Off button (F) button and hold for
approximately 3 seconds.
3. The next time the torque wrench is switch on, the last used manually set torque
figure will be remembered.
4. If the torque wrench is not to be used for a period, remove the batteries (see section
below).
Changing the Batteries
The torque wrench is powered by two (2) AAA 1.5 V batteries (supplied).
1. The battery compartment is on the reverse of the instrument body. Open battery
compartment cover by unscrewing and removing the two screws.
2. Refer to diagram below: install 2 x AAA 1.5 V batteries taking care to fit the batteries
with the correct polarity orientation. This is clearly marked on the base of the battery
compartment.
3. Fit the cover firmly into place and replace the two screws.
4. If the batteries are in poor condition the low-battery ( ) icon will appear.
5. Dispose of batteries according to local authority guidelines.
6. Always remove batteries if the tool is stored and not in constant use.

Maintenance
Reasons for Torque Wrench Malfunction
• Always ensure your torque wrench is maintained in a dry, clean environment.
• Store the torque wrench in the case in which it was provided.
• Use a soft cloth to clean the tool and the display.
• Dropping or shaking the torque wrench.
• Overloading the recommended torque.
• Not using the torque wrench for a long period of time.
• Using the torque wrench in very hot or cold conditions (-10˚<60˚C), extreme humidity
or direct sunlight.
• Using it to break a bolt (undoing).
• Using it as a breaker bar.
Precautions:
• Never use an extension bar.
• Never use a length of pipe to extend the handle of your torque wrench.
• Never submerge the wrench in water.
• Never clean the wrench with organic solvents.
• Do not dismantle the wrench.
• Tighten in a slow and controlled manner and stop applying pressure immediately
the torque wrench indicates the required setting has been reached. Tightening too
quickly will result in an inaccurate final torque figure.
