Коопсуздук маалыматы

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury and damage to the tool or workpiece:

• Көздү коргоо: Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles when using this tool.
• Туура колдонуу: Use the torque wrench only for its intended purpose of tightening fasteners to a specified torque. Do not use it as a breaker bar or for loosening fasteners.
• Курал абалы: Inspect the tool before each use for any signs of damage, wear, or malfunction. Do not use a damaged tool.
• Тазалык: Аспапты таза жана кармоого же тактыкка таасир этиши мүмкүн болгон майдан, майдан же башка булгоочу заттардан таза кармаңыз.
• Ашыкча моменттөө: Never exceed the maximum torque capacity of the wrench (150 Ft-Lb / 203.5 Nm). Over-torquing can damage the fastener, the workpiece, or the wrench itself.
• Сактагыч: Store the torque wrench at its lowest torque setting (10 Ft-Lb / 13.6 Nm) when not in use to relieve spring tension and maintain calibration accuracy.
• Калибрлөө: This tool is a precision instrument. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to harsh impacts, as this can affect its calibration. Regular recalibration is recommended for professional use.

Продукт бүттүview жана компоненттер

The LEXIVON LX-183 torque wrench features a robust design for reliable performance. Familiarize yourself with its key components:

• Храповик башы: Reversible for driving in both directions, though torque measurement is only in the clockwise direction. Made from hardened Chrome Vanadium alloy steel.
• Torque Scale (Dual Range): Clearly marked scales for both Foot-Pounds (Ft-Lb) and Newton Meters (Nm).
• Adjustment Collar: Каалаган момент маанисин орнотуу үчүн колдонулат.
• Knurled туткасы: Provides a non-slip, comfortable grip, reducing hand fatigue.
• Бөгөттөө баскычы: Secures the torque setting to prevent accidental changes during use.

Жайгашуу

1. Таңылганын ачуу: Момент ачкычын коргоочу кутусунан этияттык менен чыгарыңыз.
2. Алгачкы текшерүү: Check the wrench for any visible damage from shipping. Ensure the ratchet head moves freely and the adjustment collar rotates smoothly.
3. "Activate" Mechanism: Before first use, or after prolonged storage, it is recommended to "activate" the internal mechanism. Set the wrench to a mid-range torque value (e.g., 75 Ft-Lb). Apply pressure to the head in the clockwise direction until you hear and feel the "click." Repeat this process 5-10 times. This helps distribute the internal lubricant and ensures the mechanism is ready for accurate operation.
4. Тазалык: Wipe down the wrench with a clean, dry cloth if necessary. Ensure the scale is clear and readable.

Иштөө нускамалары

1. Туткасын ачыңыз: Locate the locking knob at the end of the handle. Rotate it counter-clockwise to unlock the adjustment collar.
2. Каалаган моментти коюңуз:
   • kn айлантыңызurled handle to align the desired major torque value (e.g., 50 Ft-Lb) with the main scale line.
   • For fine adjustments, continue rotating the handle until the desired minor increment on the thimble scale aligns with the main scale line. For example, to set 52 Ft-Lb, set to 50 Ft-Lb on the main scale, then rotate the thimble until '2' aligns with the main line.
3. Тутканы бекитиңиз: Once the desired torque is set, rotate the locking knob clockwise to secure the adjustment collar. This prevents accidental changes during use.
4. Розетка тиркөө: Select the appropriate socket for your fastener and attach it firmly to the 1/2-inch drive square on the ratchet head.
5. Моментти колдонуу:
   • Розетканы бекиткичке салыңыз.
   • Apply smooth, steady pressure to the handle in a clockwise direction. Do not use jerky motions or sudden force.
   • Continue applying pressure until you hear and feel a distinct "click" from the wrench. This indicates that the preset torque has been reached.
   • Immediately stop applying force once the click is felt/heard. Do not continue to tighten the fastener beyond the click.
6. Чыгуу басымы: After the click, release pressure on the handle. The wrench is now ready for the next fastener or can be stored.

Маанилүү эскертүү: The LEXIVON torque wrench measures torque only in the clockwise direction. While the ratchet head is reversible for loosening, do not use it to measure torque in the counter-clockwise direction.

Техникалык тейлөө

• Тазалоо: After each use, wipe the wrench clean with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
• Сактагыч: Always return the torque wrench to its lowest torque setting (10 Ft-Lb / 13.6 Nm) before storing it. This relieves tension on the internal spring, preserving its accuracy over time. Store the wrench in its original protective case in a dry, clean environment, away from extreme temperatures.
• Майлоо: The internal mechanism is factory-lubricated and generally does not require user lubrication. If the wrench feels stiff or performs inconsistently, it may require professional servicing.
• Кайра калибрлөө: For optimal accuracy, especially in professional or critical applications, it is recommended to have your torque wrench recalibrated periodically (e.g., annually or after 5,000 cycles). The wrench ships with a calibration certificate for initial verification.

5-сүрөт: The LEXIVON torque wrench securely placed within its custom-fit, black protective case. Proper storage in this case, especially at the lowest torque setting, is crucial for maintaining the tool's calibration and protecting it from environmental damage and impacts.
