Figure 7 – Placing Scissor-Style Jaw Set Around Fitting
Figure 8 – RP 210 Tool Square To Tubing
7. Make sure the jaws and tool are square to the tubing.
(Figure 8) If the jaw and tool are not square to the
tube, they will try to align as the press is made. This
could cause an improperly pressed fitting or damage
the tool.
De press the tool trigger switch (Figure 1). Keep fingers
and hands away from the jaws to avoid crushing
injuries in jaws and between jaws and surrounds.
The press cycle takes about five (5) seconds. Once a
press cycle begins and the rollers contact the jaw
arms, the tool will lock-on and automatically com-
plete the press cycle. Releasing the trigger will not stop
the tool once the pressing process has begun. This
assures consistent, repeatable press joint integrity.
NOTE! If yellow LED service indicator blinks, the tool
should be sent to a RIDGID Authorized Service
Center for required maintenance. The tool will
not run if it is not serviced within 2,000 cycles
after the first blinking yellow LED.
The RP 210-B Press Tool will turn off auto-
NOTICE
matically if the battery is too low to successfully com-
plete a pressed connection. This will be indicated by
blinking of the green LED. A fully charged battery should
8
be inserted in the tool and the pressed connection should
be repeated as indicated above.
To retract the rollers and remove the tool from the fitting if
battery dies or tool malfunctions during pressed connec-
tion, it is necessary to press the pressure re lease button
on the right hand side of the tool (Figure 11). If this hap-
pens, the connection will need to be pressed again to
insure completion.
8. After the cycle is complete, squeeze jaw arms to
open the jaws.
9. Remove the RP 210 and jaws from tube. Avoid sharp
edges that may have formed on the fitting during the
pressing operation.
Pressing A Fitting With Typical Actuator
And Press Ring Set
1. Make sure the RP 210 Press Tool has the correct
actuator installed.
2. Insert fully charged battery into the base of the RP
210 handle.
3. Depress ON/OFF button on display panel one time to
turn tool ON. All three light emitting diodes (LED's) will
blink once. Then, the green LED should solidly illu-
minate indicating the tool is ready to press.
NOTE! Tool will automatically turn off if left unused for
ten (10) minutes. To restart tool, it is neces-
sary to once again depress the ON/OFF button
on the top display panel.
4. Make sure the tubing is inserted to the proper depth
in fitting, as specified in the appropriate fitting system's
operator's manual.
5. Open the appropriate press ring and place at right
angle onto the fitting (Figure 9). Align ring with fitting
according to fitting system's operator's manual. Re -
check insertion depth before completing press process.
6. Squeeze actuator arms to open the actuator assem-
bly. Engage actuator ends into the actuator pockets in
the press ring (Figure 10) . Make sure actuator ends
are fully engaged in pockets. Do not attempt to hang
tool and actuator from press ring. Tool could unex-
pectedly drop causing serious injury or death.
7. Depress the tool trigger switch. The press cycle takes
about five (5) seconds. Once a press cycle begins and
the rollers contact the actuator arms, the tool will
lock-on and automatically complete the press cycle.
Releasing the trigger will not stop the tool once the
pressing process has begun. This assures consis-
tent, repeatable press joint integrity. To avoid pinch
point injuries, keep fingers away from actuator and
press ring during the press cycle.
