[. . . ] GB Intended use This torque wrench is intended exclusively for the controlled tightening of screws and nuts on cars, motorcycles, caravans, etc. This torque wrench is not intended for commercial or industrial applications. [. . . ] 12 16:11 ■ Do not use worn or damaged accessories (sockets or extension pieces), as these may negatively influence the actuation accuracy. –  Do not use hinged or ball joints, as these can lead to incorrect settings of the torque. –  When you use the tool for the first time, and after a long storage period, it is important to operate the torque wrench a few times, for the purpose of uniform lubrication of the mechanism, before the actual torque is set. –  Ensure that the torque is set at the lowest level (28 Nm) if you are not using the torque wrench. –  Do not turn the setting below the lowest torque marking (less than 28 Nm). –  This tool is robust and suitable for domestic use, but it is also a precision tool and should therefore be treated as such. –  Before each use check the correct setting of the actuation value and the correct seating of the accessory being used. –  Store the torque wrench exclusively at room temperatures (15° 25°C) so as not to falsify the actuation levels. –  A calibration of the torque wrench should be performed only by qualified personnel. Loosen the locking screw (do not remove it) at the lower end of the torque wrench by turning it anti-clockwise. The precise setting of the torque value is made by using the ring and the main scale . In the following example, this scale process is explained for a torque of 120 Nm. Turn the hand-grip until its upper edge reaches the kinked downmeets wards marking of 112 Nm and the ”0” of the ring scale (see Figure A). With this step, the centre line of the main scale you have made the rough adjustment.
