The Precisebuilt torque wrench is a precision instrument used to apply a specific torque to a fastener. It features a durable alloy steel construction with a chrome nickel finish, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion. The wrench is supplied with a blow-molded case for secure storage and transport.

Key features include a dual-direction operation, allowing for both clockwise and counterclockwise torque application. The wrench provides an audible click when the preset torque value is reached, indicating proper tightening. It has dual-range scales for measurements in both foot-pounds (ft-lb) and kilogram-meters (kg-m).

Setup and Torque Setting

1. Membongkar: Carefully remove the torque wrench from its blow-molded case. Inspect the tool for any signs of damage.
2. Membuka Pegangan: Locate the locking knob at the bottom of the handle. Rotate it counter-clockwise to unlock the handle, allowing for torque adjustment.
3. Mengatur Nilai Torsi:
   • Putar knurled handle grip to align the desired major torque value on the main scale with the edge of the minor scale.
   • Further rotate the knurled handle grip until the desired minor torque value on the minor scale aligns with the center line of the main scale.
   • Misalnyaample, to set 100 ft-lb, align the '100' mark on the main scale with the edge of the minor scale, then rotate the handle until '0' on the minor scale aligns with the center line.
4. Mengunci Pegangan: Once the desired torque is set, rotate the locking knob clockwise until it is securely tightened. This prevents accidental changes to the torque setting during use.
5. Pemilihan Arah: The ratchet head features a lever to switch between clockwise and counterclockwise operation. Ensure the lever is set to the desired direction before applying torque.

Petunjuk Pengoperasian

1. Pasang Soket: Select the appropriate socket for your fastener and attach it securely to the 1/2" drive square on the wrench head.
2. Kunci Posisi: Place the socket onto the fastener. Ensure the wrench is positioned so that you can apply smooth, steady pressure.
3. Terapkan Torsi: Apply slow, steady, and continuous pressure to the handle in the desired direction (clockwise or counterclockwise). Do not use sudden jerking motions.
4. Dengarkan Klik: Terus berikan tekanan hingga Anda mendengar dan merasakan bunyi "klik" yang jelas dari kunci pas. Ini menandakan bahwa nilai torsi yang telah ditetapkan telah tercapai.
5. Lepaskan Tekanan: Immediately stop applying pressure once the click is heard/felt. Further tightening beyond the click can over-torque the fastener and damage the wrench.
6. Mengulang: For applications requiring multiple fasteners (e.g., wheel lug nuts), repeat the process for each fastener.

Tindakan pencegahan keselamatan yang penting:

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as safety glasses.
• Never use the torque wrench as a breaker bar or for loosening fasteners.
• Do not extend the handle with pipes or other tools to increase leverage, as this can damage the wrench and compromise accuracy.
• Keep the wrench clean and free from grease or oil to maintain a secure grip.

Pemeliharaan dan Penyimpanan

• Pembersihan: After each use, wipe the torque wrench clean with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the finish or internal components.
• Penyimpanan: Store the torque wrench in its original blow-molded case to protect it from dust, moisture, and impact.
• Torque Setting for Storage: For long-term storage, it is recommended to set the torque wrench to its lowest torque setting (10 ft-lb) to relieve tension on the internal spring mechanism. Do not set it below the lowest marked setting.
• Kalibrasi: Torque wrenches are precision instruments and may require periodic re-calibration to maintain accuracy. Consult a professional calibration service if you suspect inaccuracy or after prolonged use.
