(See Specifications section) approved by RIDGID for
use.
The press cycle for Standard Series attachments is approx-
imately 4 seconds, and for Extended Series attachments
it is approximately 9 seconds. Once the cycle begins to
deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until com-
pletion, even if the run switch is released.
The Tool Status Lights indicate things such as out of
specification temperature, low battery, or maintenance
required. A work light turns on when the run switch is
depressed to illuminate the work area.
The head can be rotated 270° for better access in tight
spaces.
The tool comes with two (2) fabric loops that can be used
with appropriate attachments such as shoulder straps or tie
off lines.
