WARNING - RISK OF FLYING PARTICLES

READ THIS MANUAL COMPLETELY BEFORE USING THE DIGITAL

TORQUE ADAPTER

• To insure accuracy, work must not move in angle mode.

• For personal safety and to avoid wrench damage, follow good professional tool and fas-

tener installation practices.

• Periodic recalibration is necessary to maintain tool accuracy.

USERS AND BYSTANDERS SHOULD ALWAYS WEAR

EYE PROTECTION

• Be sure all components, including adapters, extensions, drivers and sockets are rated to

match or exceed the torque being applied with tool.

• Observe all equipment, system and manufacturer’s warnings, cautions and procedures

when using this adapter

• Always use the correct size socket for the fastener being torqued.

• Do not use damaged sockets, showing signs of wear or cracks.

• Always replace damaged fasteners before applying torque.

WARNING - Electrical Shock Hazard

• Electrical shock can cause injury.

• Plastic handle is not insulated.

• Do not use on live electrical circuits.

Over-torquing can cause breakage. An out of calibration torque wrench can cause part or

tool breakage. Broken hand tools, sockets or accessories can cause injury. Excess force

can cause crow foot or flare nut wrench slippage.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

• Never operate digital torque adapter when powered OFF. Always power adapter ON prior

to applying torque.

• Never use this digital torque adapter to loosen fasteners as damage may occur.

• Do not exceed the rated maximum torque value for the digital torque adapter as break-

age and/or a loss of accuracy could occur.

• Always verify the calibration of the digital torque adapter if you know or suspect its capac-

ity has been exceeded.

• Always pull - do not push - on the drive tool (ratchet) handle that is connected to the digi-

tal torque adapter.

• Adjust your stance to prevent a possible fall while applying torque.

• Apply torque slowly and grasp the center of the handle. Do not apply load to the end of

the handle.

• Avoid applying excessive torque, turn the ratchet slowly and steadily as you apply torque.

Pay attention to the LED light and sound indicators.

• Never submerge the digital torque adapter in water or any other liquid.

• If the tool gets wet, immediately wipe it dry with a soft, clean towel.

• Do not expose this wrench to dust or sand as this could cause serious damage.

• Use the digital torque adapter only for its intended purpose as described in this manual.

• Do not use the digital torque adapter if it is not working properly or if it has suffered any

damage.

• Do not disassemble the digital torque adapter.

• Do not expose the digital torque adapter to extreme temperatures, humidity, direct sun-

light.

• Do not shake violently or drop digital torque adapter.

• Do not use this tool as a hammer.

• Position batteries in proper polarity.

• Do not mix batteries of different type.

• Never clean the digital torque adapter with soap or solvents.

• Use a soft, dry, clean cloth to clean the digital torque adapter and LCD panel.

• Do not apply excessive force to the LCD display panel.

• Store in a clean dry place.

• Keep this tool away from magnets.

Press

In Track mode - The display will register “real-time” torque as it is applied. This is useful when you

are able to observe the digital display while applying torque to a fastener. Watching the torque value

increase can assist you in applying torque evenly and safely, especially as you approach your target

torque setting.

1. With the unit on, press the (Digit shift) key to display the “normal mode” screen.

2. Press the (Digit shift) key to the activate the “set torque value” screen (far right digit flashes).

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

POWERING OFF DIGITAL TORQUE ADAPTER

Press and hold button for 2 seconds to toggle the orientation of the display readout.

CHANGING ORIENTATION OF DISPLAY

Press

1. Requires one (1) DC 3V, CR2032.

2. Unscrew battery cover fastener with a jewelers’ phillips screwdriver.

3. Remove the battery cover.

4. Remove the old battery.

5. Clean battery terminals.

6. Install fresh battery in the digital torque adapter (with the “+” sign end facing upward).

7. Replace the battery cover and screw tight.

Note

• Remove battery if stored for a long period of time.

• Oil, water, dirt and sweat can prevent a battery’s terminals from making electrical contact. Wipe

both terminals before installing batteries.

Battery disposal

Only dispose of battery when fully discharged.

DO NOT dispose of battery in a fire.

Dispose of expended batteries and packaging materials in an environmentally responsible manner.

1. Set your torque wrench to a value of approxi-

mately 25% of its maximum capacity. For

example, if your torque wrench has a maximum

capacity of 150 lb-ft, set it to 40 lb-ft.

2. Program the digital torque adapter for a torque

value that matches the torque wrench setting.

In our example, you would set the adapter for

40 lb-ft. Ensure the adapter is in the “peak”

mode as this will make it easy to reference

actual torque versus the torque indicated on

the wrench.

3. Connect the pre-set torque wrench and the

included calibration adapter to the digital torque

adapter. Secure the calibration adapter in a

bench vise. Ensure the calibration adapter is

securely tightened in the vise.

4.Turn the torque wrench smoothly and steadily,

applying torque to the calibration adapter until

your torque wrench reaches the preset value,

either by “clicking” (micrometer style torque

wrench), or displaying the desired setting

(digital or dial torque wrench).

5. Read the peak torque value shown on the digi-

tal torque adapter. Adjust your torque wrench

and repeat the procedure until the trque

wrench and digital torque adapter show identi-

cal torque values.

Disposal

Do not dispose of this device in normal domestic waste.

Observe the currently valid regulations.

In case of doubt, consult your waste disposal facility.

CALIBRATING A TORQUE WRENCH USING DIGITAL ADAPTER

IMPORTANT - Service, repair and calibration are to be performed by Star-Asia USA, LLC only. Cali-

bration by the user is recorded in the wrench and voids factory certification. Contact Star-Asia USA,
