To set screwdriver to desired torque:
1. Determine proper torque to be applied to the
fastener.
2. Use a certified torque tester that is accurate within a
range suited to screwdriver torque range.
3. Remove end cap at the base of screwdriver.
(See Figure I)
WHEN APPLYING TORQUE THE SCREWDRIVER
MUST BE KEPT PERPENDICULAR TO THE
PLANE OF USE (EITHER HORIZONTAL OR
VERTICAL). INACCURACIES IN TORQUE
READINGS MAY OCCUR FROM APPLYING A
“SIDE LOAD”.
6. Adjust until the desired torque setting is reached.
Turn the screwdriver several more times on the
tester and fine tune the setting to as repeatable a
number as possible. Replace end cap.
7. Install the proper bit into the hex receiver and the
screwdriver is ready to use.
8. To torque fastener keep hand centered on the
handle. Turn handle until a click/impulse is heard or
felt. Stop turning, the screwdriver will automatically
reset for the next operation.

the base of the preset torque screwdriver. Turn
clockwise (cw) to increase the amount of torque and
counterclockwise (ccw) to decrease the amount of
torque.
