Changing Tolerance Settings:

1. The default setting is +/- 2% of pre-set torque. The operator can adjust the 

the setting from 1 - 10% or turn it off.

2.  With the wrench ON, hold the power button and press the “” key.  

Keep pressing the “” key until you show the desired value.

3.  The tolerance setting provides a visual and sound signal if the torque 

Passed or Failed.
- If the torque is under the pre-set torque & tolerance setting - Yellow light
- If the torque is within the pre-set torque & tolerance setting - Green light
- If the torque is over the pre-set torque & tolerance setting - Red light

Applying Torque:

1. Tighten nut or bolt by applying a steady even pull using built in ratchet as 

necessary. Wrench should be kept at 90 degrees to axis of bolt during 
tightening. 

2. When pre-set torque is reached, there are 3 ways to determine what torque 

is being applied:
- Look directly at the LCD.
- Pre-set torque and look for the lights.
- Pre-set torque and listen for the buzzer.

3.  Once pre-set torque is achieved, do not apply any more torque or you will 

over tighten it.

LCD Contrast:

1. The operator can change the LCD contrast (viewing angle) by first pressing

and holding the Units button and then press the “” button.  This is 
useful when the temperature is very cold or very hot.

Notes:

The contrast changes very slowly, so be patient.
