Setup and Torque Adjustment

Properly setting the torque value is essential for accurate and safe operation. Follow these steps to adjust your torque wrench:

1. Unlock the Handle: Locate the locking ring or knob at the base of the handle. Rotate it to the "unlock" position. This allows the handle to rotate freely for adjustment.
2. Adjust Torque Value: Rotate the handle to align the desired torque value on the main scale with the zero mark on the micrometer scale. For fine adjustments, use the micrometer scale.
3. Lock the Handle: Once the desired torque value is set, rotate the locking ring or knob back to the "lock" position. This secures the setting and prevents accidental changes during use.
