TOHNICHI FTD50CN2-S (01) PDF DOCUMENT

When using the TOHNICHI FTD50CN2-S, please adhere to the following warnings:

Make sure there is no oil or grease on the grip. A slip of the hand while tightening may cause an accident or injury.

Check for cracks, scratches and rust. These will cause damage to the driver and may result in an injury. If such conditions exist, have a functional test performed and repair if necessary.

Please follow these precautions to ensure safe and accurate operation of your TOHNICHI FTD50CN2-S:

Don’t use the torque driver beyond the maximum torque setting. This will cause damage or injury.

Don’t use the torque driver if it is missing a pin or scale plate, etc. Ask a repair shop to inspect and repair it before using.

Don’t modify the torque driver. Modifications will weaken the torque driver. This may cause errors in accuracy, as well as cause an accident or injury.

Don’t drop the torque driver or apply a strong shock or jolt. This will cause damage or deformation as well as decrease the accuracy and durability, which may cause an accident or injury.

Use only parts designated by Tohnichi for repair of the torque driver. Ask the place of purchase for assistance when you repair, and use only Tohnichi parts.

Confirm that the driver is set according to the correct unit of measure before using (e.g., kgf·cm, N·m, etc.).

Don’t use the torque driver in fresh water or sea water. The inside mechanism will go bad and can cause an accident or injury. If you drop it in water or sea water, get it checked out or repaired.

Use the correct bit that fits the screw you are using.

Perform regular inspections for function and accuracy. Periodical inspections are essential to ensure the torque wrench is in optimal condition, thus preventing injury.

Remove any dirt such as dust, mud, oil, and water, etc. after each use and before storing the torque driver.

When storing the torque driver for a long time, set it at the minimum torque and keep it in a dry place. If improperly stored, the accuracy and durability will decrease rapidly.

When you attach or detach a bit or a socket, hold the shaft as shown in the diagram. If you hold the grip when you attach or detach a bit or a socket, the FTD might be broken.

Follow these steps to operate the TOHNICHI FTD50CN2-S:

1. Insert the bit into the bit holder.

2. Set the pointer to the “0” position on the scale plate. The pointer should be at the “0” position before starting.

3. Move the memory pointer to the “0” position opposite of the measuring direction.

4. Start the measuring or tightening operation.

The FTD-S series models have an accuracy of ±3%.

An optional Torque Driver Tester is available for the TOHNICHI FTD50CN2-S. This tester is used for torque driver calibration.
