Ridgid 100-B Owners Manual - Page 15

Compact 100-B Pressing Tool Storage Place the tool and jaws in its carrying case. 100-B should be stored above 32°F (0°C) and below 122°F (50°C). The tool temperature sensor will not allow the tool to turn on if oil temperature is not within this temperature range. This will be indicated by a red blinking LED on the display panel. WARNING Store the carrying case in a dry, secured, locked area that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with the Compact 100-B Pressing Tool. The tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users. NOTE! Battery performance is severely reduced when batteries are stored below 32°F (0°C). For optimal tool performance and battery life per charge in cold climates, take care to keep batteries as warm as possible. When battery temperatures are kept above 32°F (0°C), the number of press cycles is dramatically improved, especially on larger diameter fittings. Other suggestions for improving battery performance: • Use the tool to make pressed connections as soon as possible after transferring the battery from a warm storage environment to a freezing or subfreezing operating environment. Planning ahead in this manner will significantly improve the number of connections achieved before battery requires recharging. • Be sure to fully discharge the battery before recharging. • Follow proper recharging procedures as spelled out on pages 6-7 of this manual.
