WARNING
• Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from the reaction arm and working area during
operation.
• This tool will exert a strong reaction force. Use proper mechanical support and correct
reaction arm positioning to control these forces. Do not position the reaction arm so that it
tilts the tool off the axis of the bolt, and never use the air inlet as a reaction stop.
• Use only accessories recommended by TorcUP.
• Use only impact sockets and accessories rated for appropriate torque output. Do not use
hand (chrome) sockets or accessories.
• Use only sockets and accessories that correctly fit the bolt or nut and function without tilting
the tool off the axis of the bolt.
• This tool is not insulated against electric shock.
• This equipment must not be operated or serviced unless the operator reads the operating
instructions and fully understands the purpose, consequences and procedures of each step.
Depending on the working environment, your local health and safety regulations may require
you wear protective gear (i.e. safety shoes, hard hat, gloves, coveralls, etc.). In case external
forces are exerted on the equipment, non-compliance with these regulations may result in

OPERATING PROCEDURES
The battery is recommended to be changed before the charge gets to 25% battery life,
although the torque should be consistent until the last few fastenings before the battery dies.
NOTE: This tool is designed to be operated with right-hand thread fasteners. There is a 15%
reverse bias to assist with breakout. If this tool is to be used with left-hand thread fasteners
consult TorcUP.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
NOTICE
After extended use of the VOLTA Series Torque Wrench, in the case of degrading performance
or other apparent damage, immediately send your VOLTA Series Torque Wrench to TorcUP,
Inc or contact your Local Representative or Distributor. The unit must be properly packaged for
shipping.
WARNING
• Loose clothes, long hair, cables, etc. are always to be kept away from the danger/rotation
area. When the machine is put into operation, it is mandatory to wear ear protection, safety
shoes and safety goggles.
• Always place the impact socket or hex driver snugly onto the screw or nut/bolt. Faulty screw
or nut/bolt connections may result in exceeding the mechanical stress limit of the material,
causing it to break. Parts that splinter off may cause bruises or even life-threatening injuries.
When tightening and loosening fasteners, always hold/position the VOLTA Series Torque Wrench in
line with the fastener axis to avoid damage to the application. See Figure 1 on the following page.

BATTERY SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NOTICE
Note: Prior to use, please see pages 17-21 of this user manual to review the battery
product safety data sheet.
1. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock and damage the tool.
2. Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before changing accessories or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
3. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
4. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
5. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
2. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
3. When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
4. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
If the VOLTA Series Torque Wrench switches off automatically, the electronics have
activated automatic protection mode. A warning signal sounds (continuous beeping). The
beeping stops after a maximum of 30 seconds or when the trigger is released. In spite
of this protective function, overloading is still possible with certain applications and can
result in damage to the tool.
1. Battery almost empty: The electronics protect the battery pack against damage
through total discharge). If one LED is flashing, the battery pack is almost depleted. If
necessary, press the button and check the LEDs to see the charge level. If the battery
pack is almost depleted, it must be recharged.
2. Long continuous overloading of the machine: This will activate the temperature cut-
out. Leave the tool or battery pack to cool. Note: If the battery pack feels very warm, the
pack will cool more quickly in an “AIR COOLED” charger. Note: The tool will cool more
quickly if you operate it at idling speed.
3. Safety Shutdown: The tool was SWITCHED OFF automatically. If the slew rate of the
current is too high (for example, if the tool suddenly seizes or kickback occurs), the tool
switches off. Switch off the tool at the trigger. Switch it on again and continue to work as
normal. Try to prevent the tool from seizing.
Note: The LED lamp switches off automatically after a specific time. To activate the
electronic functions, press the trigger.
