5. With dry hands, plug an inserted AC Power Adapter
into a properly grounded outlet or insert a fully
charged battery. Press the ON/OFF button on the
LED panel one time to turn the press tool ON. The
green, red and yellow LED on the display panel
should all blink one time on power up, and then the
green LED will remain on to indicate that the tool is
ready for use. If any other conditions exist, use the
Diagnostic Codes information on page 12 to deter-
mine the next step and do not use the tool until it is
working properly. With your hands and fingers away
from the tool ram, test the switch to confirm proper
operation. When used with an attachment, once the
tool sees enough load it will lock on to ensure that a
complete press is made.
6. Once the operation has been checked, with dry
hands unplug the tool or remove the battery.

1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
If present, do not work in area until sources have
been identified and corrected. The press tool is not
explosion proof and can cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable dry place for operator. Do not
use the machine while standing in water.
• Clear path to electrical outlet that does not contain
any potential sources of damage for the power
cord.
2. Inspect the work to be done and determine the correct
RIDGID tool and attachment(s) for the application.
Using an incorrect attachment for an application can
cause injury, damage the tool and make incomplete
connections. For a complete listing of RIDGID attach-
ments available for this tool, see the Ridge Tool Cat
-alog. Make sure that the tool and attachment have
been inspect-ed as directed in the instructions.
3. Evaluate the work area and determine if any barriers
are needed to keep bystanders out. Bystanders can
distract the tool operator during use.
4. Confirm that the tool is unplugged or the battery is
removed and fully open the attachment mounting
pin. See Figure 4. If there is an attachment in the tool,
slide it out of the tool.
5. Slide the correct attachment into the press tool as
shown in Figure 5 and fully close the attachment
mounting pin. The tool will not operate unless the
mounting pin is fully closed. Rings must use the
appropriate matching actuator.
