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 18ºC 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 scre
  • When using torque settings between 1 – 2.5Nm it is good practice to turn the screwdriver slowly when approaching the set torque limit
  • When using torque settings between 2.6 – 6Nm it is a 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 re-calibration.

  • All Armeg’s Switch-Blade Torque handles are designed and manufactured in accordance to, and comply with, ISO 6789:2017
  • As such, they are checked and certified to operate within a +/- 6% tolerance of the set / desired torque level.
  • After extended use, it is prudent to have your Switch-Blade Torque Handle checked and re-calibrated. In accordance with ISO 6789:2017, Armeg recommends that after either 5000 uses or 12 months (which ever comes sooner) your Switch-Blade handle is checked and re-calibrated.
  • The first calibration should be 12 months from the date of purchase (or 5000 clicks, whichever comes sooner), not the date as found on the Calibration Certificate. Please retain the purchase receipt, alongside the Calibration Certificate for future reference.
  • There are many specialist companies that offer this service, but please ensure that they work to, and comply with, the standards established in ISO 6789:2017.
  • A torque calibration tool is available from Armeg Ltd to recognised specialist calibration companies upon their request.
