4.Hold the torque wrench lightly, at the end of the handle only (beyond the groove). See Figure 3-3.

Figure 3-3 Using the Torque Wrench

5.Apply downward force perpendicular to the wrench handle. See Figure 3-3. This applies torque to the connection through the wrench.

Do not hold the wrench so tightly that you push the handle straight down along its length rather than pivoting it, otherwise you apply an unknown amount of torque.

6.Tighten the connection just to the torque wrench break point. The wrench handle gives way at its internal pivot point. See Figure 3-3. Do not tighten the connection further.

CAUTION You don’t have to fully break the handle of the torque wrench to reach the specified torque; doing so can cause the handle to kick back and loosen the connection. Any give at all in the handle is sufficient torque.

Do not pivot the wrench handle on your thumb or other fingers, otherwise you apply an unknown amount of torque to the connection when the wrench reaches its break point.

Do not twist the head of the wrench relative to the outer conductor mating plane. If you do, you apply more than the recommended torque.
