I wouldn’t fuss to much over torque settings for cup & cone bearings. I usually tighten the cone screw up a fraction tight to the bearing, then screw the lock nut up finger tight then back the cone nut off to tighten against the lock nut until tight. Then check it all spins free and smooth and is not loose. It may take a few goes to get right.

Http://si.shimano.com is the bible site for all things Shimano cycling. It has all the info you could ever need.
