# Use of Alloy dies or improper oil types (including RIDGID Dark™) may re-
sult in reduced die life, poor thread quality, or reduced tool performance.
* Sound and Vibration measurements are measured in accordance with a stand-
ardized test per Standard EN 62481-1.
- Vibration levels may be used for comparison with other tools and for preliminary
assessment of exposure.
- Sound and vibration emissions may vary due to your location and specific use
of these tools.
- Daily exposure levels for sound and vibration need to be evaluated for each
application and appropriate safety measures taken when needed. Evaluation of
exposure levels should consider the time a tool is switched off and not in use.
This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Standard Equipment

Refer to the RIDGID catalog for details on equipment sup-
plied with specific machine catalog numbers.
NOTICE Selection of appropriate materials and instal-
lation, joining and forming methods is the responsibility of
the system designer and/or installer. Selection of improper
materials and methods could cause system failure.
Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials can
be contaminated during installation, joining and forming.
This contamination could cause corrosion and premature
failure. Careful evaluation of materials and methods for
the specific service conditions, including chemical and
temperature, should be completed before any installation
is attempted.

Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING
Before each use, inspect 760 FXP Power Drive and
correct any problems to reduce the risk of serious
injury from electric shock, crushing injuries and
other causes and prevent power drive damage.
1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is released and re-
move battery from tool.

760 FXP Power Drive
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the power drive and
support device, including the handles and controls.
This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine
or control from slipping from your grip.
3. Inspect the power drive and support arm for the fol-
lowing:
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Damaged, misaligned or binding parts.
• Proper operation of switches (Figure 1).
• Support arm gripping teeth are clean and in good
condition. Teeth can be cleaned with a wire brush.
• Presence and readability of the warning label (Fi-
gure 1).
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and
normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the power
drive or support device until the problems have been
repaired.
4. Inspect the cutting edges of the dies for wear, de-
formation, chips or other issues. Dull or damaged
cutting tools increase the amount of force required,
produce poor quality threads and increase the risk of
injury.
5. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being
used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning
properly.
6. Following the Set Up and Operation instructions,
check the power drive for proper operation.
• Move the Forward/Reverse slide switch to the
Forward position. Depress and release the ON/
OFF switch. Confirm that the power drive rotates in
correct direction (see Figure 5A) and stops when
releasing the switch.
• Repeat the process for the Reverse operation (see
Figure 5B). If the power drive does not rotate in
the correct direction, or the ON/OFF switch does
not control the machine operation, do not use the
machine until it has been repaired.
Change position of the Forward/Reverse Slide
Switch only when the ON/OFF switch is released.
Allow the power drive to come to a complete stop
before reversing the direction with the Forward/
Reverse Slide Switch. This will reduce the risk of
power drive damage.
• Depress and hold the ON/OFF switch. Inspect the
moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises
or any other unusual conditions. Release the ON/
OFF switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do
not use the machine until it has been repaired.
