7. Uncoil the power cord and foot switch. Confirm that the
ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

properly set. If needed, install and/or adjust the dies in
the die head.
9. Swing the cutter, reamer and die head into the position
away from the operator.
10. If pipe will extend past the chip tray in the front of the
machine or more than 2' out of the rear of the machine
use, pipe stands to support the pipe and prevent the
pipe and threading machine from tipping or falling.
Place the pipe stands in line with machine chucks, ap-
proximately 1 / of the distance from the end of the
3
pipe to the machine. Longer pipe may need more
than one pipe stand. Only use pipe stands designed
for this purpose. Improper pipe supports or supporting
the pipe by hand can cause tipping or entanglement
injuries.
11. Set-up guards or barricades to create a minimum of
one meter (3 feet) of clearance around the threading
machine and pipe. This helps prevent non-operators
from accidentally contacting the machine or pipe and
causing tipping or becoming entangled in the rotating
parts.
12. Fully open the chucks of the threading machine.
13. Position the foot switch as shown in Figure 10 , to
allow a proper operating position.
14. With the ON/OFF switch in the OFF position, run the
cord along the clear path. With dry hands plug the
power cord into the properly grounded outlet. Keep all

may damage the threading dies or cause poor quality
threads. RIDGID Thread Cutting Coolant should not be
used with any other threading equipment for the same rea-
sons. Do not dilute thread cutting coolant.
