Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com SELECTING THE TORQUE SETTING The wrench has 5 sets of memory storage for pre-setting the target torque. 1. Press the button to turn the wrench on. 2. Press the button to select the memory storage number between M1~M5. 3. Once the memory number is chosen, access the Target Torque program by pressing and holding the button for 5~10 seconds. 4. Release the button when SEL is shown on the screen and the last saved torque is displayed. 5. When the first digit of this value (“0000“) is flashing press the button to zero the last saved value or by repeatedly pressing the button, the value of the flashing digit is gradually increased. 6. When the desired value is achieved, press the button to skip to the next digit. Repeat this process for all digits. (ones, tens, hundreds etc) 7. When the required torque is set, press the button to save the pre-set value. Repeat this process for all digits (ones, tens, hundreds etc). 8. When the required torque is set, press to save this pre-set value. CAUTION: “ERRO” WILL BE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN WHEN THE PRE-SET TORQUE DID NOT EXCEED THE MINIMAL TORQUE OF 10% FS OR OVER THE 100% MAXIMUM OF TORQUE VALUE. AFTER 1 SECOND, THE WRENCH RETURNS TO THE TARGET TORQUE VALUE SETTING. CAUTION: AFTER PRESSING THE BUTTON ACCESS THE TORQUE SETTING MODE, WITHOUT ANY BUTTONS TOUCHING OVER 5 SECONDS THE TORQUE WRENCH WILL QUIT AUTOMATICALLY AND RETURN TO MEASUREMENT MODE.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com OPERATION 1. Place the square drive on to the socket or extension bar, perpendicular to the nut/ bolt to be tightened. Smoothly tighten your fastening, applying even pressure throughout the operation. 2. ALWAYS use the correct size socket for the fastening and NEVER use sockets that are damaged. Sockets, adaptors and extension must be robust enough for exposure to the maximum possible torque. 3. Grasp the torque wrench handle and pull on the wrench with a steady movements. 4. With target torque pre-set the target value is indicated on screen.

  • The LED Light will be “yellow” when you reach 50% of the programmed torque value.
  • When approaching the programmed torque value the buzzer will sound
  • When you are within 2% of the programmed value the green light will be seen.
  • Once achieved (+/- 0.2 Nm), the buzzer will emit a quicker sound sequence.
  • When you are over 2% above the programmed torque the buzzer will emit a continuous tone and the LED will turn red. You will also feel a vibration of the handle. NOTE:When you hear the continuous tone, immediately stop pulling, especially in cases when the target torque is low. NEVER USE THE TORQUE WRENCH WHEN THE WRENCH IS IN LOW BATTERY CONDITION. THE WRENCH ACCURACY WILL BE AFFECTED. “- - - -” WILL BE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN, WHEN THE APPLIED TORQUE EXCEEDS 100% OF THE MAXIMUM OF TORQUE VALUE. CARE OF THE WRENCH DURING USE 1. Take care not to drop the wrench on a hard surface and re-set the unit as described under MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION, should it be subjected to sudden shock. 2. Take care not to damage the LED display. 3. NEVER apply force with the torque wrench when the power is off. Always turn the unit on before using it. 4. For assured accuracy of the wrench, periodic self re-setting is desirable as described under MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION.

Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 5. Check that the wrench operating range is adequate for the anticipated load before proceeding. DO NOT exceed the maximum rating of the wrench (30Nm or equivalent units). 6. Re-set of the unit as described on page 7 if you believe its capacity may have been exceeded. 7. NEVER use the wrench to undo bolts & nuts which may be excessively tight. Very tight nuts and bolts should be loosened with a standard wrench and the torque wrench used only for re-tightening. 8. DO NOT expose the wrench to extreme temperature, humidity or direct sunlight for extended periods. 9. Avoid using knuckle or universal joints as these could possibly result in inaccurate torque readings. 10. Always pull,- DO NOT push the wrench handle. NEVER use the wrench with wet hands. STORAGE & CLEANING 1. Store in a clean, dry environment away from excess heat, humidity or dust. 2. If the wrench is not to be used for long periods of time it is advisable to remove the batteries to avoid the risk of leaking. 3. Clean by wiping the tool and the display with a soft cloth. NEVER immerse it in water or any type of solvent or cleaning fluid. MAINTENANCE & CALIBRATION The wrench has been calibrated at the factory order to ensure accurate readings and should not require any re-calibration. The original calibration certificate should be supplied. To restore the factory calibration settings perform the following procedure. In measuring mode, press and hold and buttons at the same time. Release the buttons until the screen appears showing the indicator “----” to reset the wrench. The factory settings will be restored. If further inaccuracy is suspected contact your local CLARKE dealer. DO NOT attempt to dismantle the wrench. BATTERY USE AND CARE The batteries must be replaced if, when switching on, there is no reading on the display or the ‘Battery Condition’ indicator on the panel is empty. Never combine used batteries with old ones or mix battery types. NEVER use a battery if it is cracked or damaged and always dispose of old batteries appropriately. NEVER either dump or incinerate old batteries.
