The TW-6.2 features a dial-adjust click system for setting the desired torque. Pull back on the spring-loaded sleeve on the handle and rotate it to align the desired Newton Meter (Nm) value on the shaft with the corresponding mark on the collar. For example, to set 5.5 Nm, align the '5' on the shaft with the main line, then rotate the collar to align '0.5' with the main line. Release the collar to lock the setting.

Insert the bit into the fastener. Apply gentle, steady pressure to rotate the wrench. Continue turning until you hear and feel a distinct "click." This click indicates that the preset torque has been reached. Do not continue tightening after the click, as this can overtighten and damage the component.

The TW-6.2 is compatible with both right and left-hand threads. Adjust the direction of the ratchet head by pushing the small lever on the head to either side.

Finding Torque Specifications

Always refer to the component manufacturer's specifications for the correct torque values. These values are often printed directly on the component (e.g., 5.5 Nm on a stem bolt) or can be found on the manufacturer's website or in the product's instruction manual.

Proper maintenance and storage are crucial for preserving the accuracy and longevity of your torque wrench.

• Тазалоо: Wipe the tool clean after each use with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents.
• Сактагыч: When storing the torque wrench, always set the Newton Meter (Nm) reading back to its lowest setting (2 Nm for this model). This releases tension on the internal spring, ensuring the tool maintains its accuracy over time. Store the wrench in its protective case in a dry, temperature-controlled environment.
• Ашыкча моментациядан алыс болуңуз: Never use the torque wrench to loosen bolts, as this can damage the internal mechanism and affect calibration.

• Туура эмес окуулар: If you suspect the wrench is providing inaccurate readings, verify proper storage procedures (releasing spring tension). If issues persist, the tool may require recalibration by a professional service center.
• Bit Not Securing: Ensure the bit is fully inserted and the ratchet head button is released. Check for any debris preventing proper seating.
