Inspect and maintain the tool attachments and battery

charger as directed in their instructions. Failure to

ers can result in serious injury and property damage.

attached to the tool and if required, the battery. Do not

operate the pressing tool without the warning label.

With dry hands, plug the tool into a properly ground-

ed outlet or insert a fully charged battery. Press the

ON/OFF button on the LED panel one time to turn the

press tool ON. The green, red and yellow LED on the

display panel should all blink one time on power up,

and then the green LED will remain on to indicate that

the tool is ready for use. If any other conditions exist,

use the Diagnostic Codes information on

page 12

to

determine the next step and do not use the tool until

it is working properly. With your hands and fingers

away from the tool ram, test the operation of the

switch to confirm proper operation. When used with

an attachment, once the tool sees enough load it

will lock on to insure that a complete press is made.

Once the operation has been checked, with dry

hands unplug the tool or remove the battery.

Tool and Work Area Set-Up

WARNING

Set up the pressing tool and work area according to

these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from

electric shock, fire, crushing injuries and other

causes, and prevent tool and system damage.

1.

Check work area for:

•

Adequate lighting.

•

Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

If present, do not work in area until sources have

been identified and corrected. The pressing tool

is

not explosion proof and can cause sparks.

•

Clear, level, stable dry place for operator. Do not

use the machine while standing in water.

•

Clear path to electrical outlet that does not contain

any potential sources of damage for the power

cord.

2.

Inspect the work to be done and determine the correct

RIDGID tool and attachment(s) for the application.

Using an incorrect attachment for an application can

cause injury, damage the tool and make incomplete

connections. For a complete listing of RIDGID attach-

ments available for this tool, see the Ridge Tool

Catalog on line at www.RIDGID.com or call Ridge

Tool Technical Services (800) 519-3456. Make sure

that the tool and attachment have been inspected as

directed in the instructions.

3.

Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers

are needed to keep bystanders out. Bystanders can

distract the tool operator during use.

4. Confirm that the tool is unplugged or the battery is

removed and fully open the attachment mounting

pin.

See Figure 4.

If there is an attachment in the tool,

slide it out of the tool.

5.

Slide the correct attachment into the pressing tool as

shown in

Figure 5

and fully close the attachment

mounting pin. The tool will not operate unless the

mounting pin is fully closed.
