BY MEANS OF TIGHTENING AND LOOSENING the calibration screws and monitoring the torque value on a suitable torque tester, you can zero in on a desired torque value. Slip-type torque tools have a state accuracy of ± 4% based on single data point analysis. Calibration output will be affected by the manner in which the tool is checked, i.e. turning the handle too fast, applying unnecessary pressure upon the handle, ad torque tester mode of operation.
NOTICE: If the tool has been previously factory set, the solder seals must be removed from both ends by heating the seals with a fine-flamed oxygen-acetylene torch, aimed directly at the solder and not the body of the tool. Hold the tool and torch so that the molted solder drips onto an appropriate surface. All materials must be removed to allow free access to the calibration screws.
There are two styles of calibration screws, which require two different calibration procedures. At each end of the handle are your calibration screws. Choose your style of calibration screws (see diagram to the right), then follow that style of calibration procedure below.
During the next step, both calibration screws must be turned equally.
