How to use

Starting and tightening

1. 01Briefly press C. A single beep confirms that the wrench is on.
2. 02Check the battery icon on the display. If it indicates a low battery level, switch off the wrench and replace the batteries (see the ‘MAINTENANCE’ section, ‘Batteries’).
3. 03Press U until N·m appears. The units cycle in this order: N·m, lb·ft, lb·in, kg·cm, kg·m.
4. 04Press P/T to select T tracking mode or P peak mode. Check the mode indication on the display.
5. 05If the value required for the connection being tightened is among the 10 presets, select it using ↑ / ↓ and confirm with C.
6. 06Adjust the jaw opening to fit the nut and place the wrench on it.
7. 07Tighten the connection while watching the torque on the display. Stop tightening when the reading reaches the required torque.

Indication

The wrench indicates torque with a sound, an LED and vibration.

T tracking mode

In T tracking mode, the display shows the torque in real time according to the force applied. When the load is removed from the wrench, the reading returns to zero.

P peak mode

In P peak mode, the result remains on the screen for 10 s after the load is removed from the wrench. Press M during this time to save it. If it is not saved, the reading returns to zero.

Browsing saved results

A result is saved in the unit selected at the time of saving.

1. 01With the wrench switched on, hold M to open the memory review.
2. 02Press ↑ / ↓ to browse the results. Hold a button for 3 s to browse quickly.
3. 03Press C to exit the memory review.

Switching off

After finishing work, hold C for 3 s. The wrench switches off automatically after 120 s of inactivity.

Maintenance

Batteries

Insert AAA alkaline batteries according to the polarity markings. Use batteries of the same type.

Do not charge alkaline batteries. If you will not use the wrench for an extended period, remove the batteries.

Troubleshooting

Waste electrical and electronic equipment

Under applicable regulations on waste electrical and electronic equipment, products marked with the separate collection symbol must not be disposed of with other municipal waste. Because they contain harmful substances, electronic products that are not collected separately may be hazardous to the environment and human health. Proper separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment prevents adverse effects on the environment.

By taking waste equipment to a collection point, you contribute to its reuse, recycling and recovery.

Recycling - one method of protecting the environment. The process of recovering substances from waste that can be reused as raw materials.

Waste recovery - the use of waste that has lost its practical value, such as plastics, paper and cardboard, as secondary raw materials (also commonly used to mean destruction of waste).

Information on the collection system for waste electrical and electronic equipment

• ■Waste electrical and electronic equipment must not be disposed of with other waste.
• ■The collection of incomplete electrical and electronic equipment and parts from waste equipment is prohibited.
• ■A distributor delivering equipment intended for households to a purchaser must collect waste household equipment free of charge at the place of delivery, provided that the waste equipment is of the same type and performs the same function as the equipment delivered.
• ■You can hand over waste equipment to a waste equipment collector, a treatment facility or a municipal waste collector in your municipality.
• ■Information about collection points is available on the BIP public information websites of regional, city and municipal offices.
