4. Make sure the tool is square to the tubing and depress

the switch (Figure 6). The pressing cycle takes about

four (4) seconds. Once a press cycle begins and the

rollers contact the jaw 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 consistent, repeat-

able press integrity.

CAUTION

To avoid pinch point injuries, keep fingers

away from jaws.

NOTE! If the tool beeps after the press cycle is completed,

the tool should be sent to a RIDGID Authorized

Service Center for required maintenance. When the

tool begins beeping, it is designed to run an addi-

tional 2000 cycles and then will automatically stop

operating.

NOTE! In the event of a tool or power failure, the jaw set can

be reopened by firmly depressing the hydraulic re-

lease valve button to retract the rollers and squeez-

ing the jaw arms together (Figure 7). Be sure to

repress the fitting taking care to orient the jaw on the

fitting in its original position.
