- Power tools must be used appropriately.
-
- Follow instructions and precautions carefully per the tool's manufacturer.
- Do not use for tightening. Only use them during removals of fasteners.
- When using some special tools or crowfoot-type wrenches, the torque value changes due to the added leverage. The actual torque applied will be greater than the torque reading shown.
-
- The torque specification given is the actual torque, not the reading on the torque wrench.
- To compensate for this additional leverage, use the formula below to calculate the torque value reading on the torque wrench.
- Always use the special tool or crowfoot-type wrench in a straight line with the torque wrench, or you will apply improper torque.
