Tech-Tips
- Our Torque Screwdriver has to be calibrated either every 12 months or 5000 ‘clicks’ (whichever comes first). To maximise usage before calibration, ensure you only click once when you have tightened your screw to the required torque.
- Keep and use your Torque Handle at an ambient temperature of 18°C to 28ºC
- Ensure your torque handle does not deviate from perpendicular by more than 5%
- Always select the correct blade for the screw
- Ensure a positive location of the blade in both handle and screw
- When using torque settings between 1 – 2.5Nm it is good practive to turn the screwdriver slowly when approaching the set torque limit
- When using torque settings between 2.6 – 6Nm it is good practice to approach the set torque limit in a brisk manner
- Store your Torque Handle at the lowest torque setting after use
Please note:
The Armeg Switch-Blade VDE range should only be used on live installations by those persons trained in such instances. To maintain the VDE rating of the tools, only Armeg VDE interchangeable screwdriver blades should be used within the Armeg Switch-Blade handles. A positive connection between blade and handle should be ensured.
Before use, the tools insulation should be checked for any damage. The VDE integrity cannot be guaranteed if the insulation is damaged in any way. If in doubt, replace the component in question.
Due to the technical nature of the tool and to ensure long-term compliance with torque setting legislation, please refer and adhere to this policy on calibration.
