6. With dry hands, plug the tool into a properly ground-
ed 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
determine 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 operation of the
switch to confirm proper operation. When used with
an attachment, once the tool sees enough load it
will lock on to insure that a complete press is made.
Once the operation has been checked, with dry
hands unplug the tool or remove the battery.

Tool and Work Area Set-Up

Set up the pressing tool and work area according to
these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from
electric shock, fire, crushing injuries and other
causes, and prevent tool and system damage.
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 pressing 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. Make sure that the
tool and attachment have been inspected 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 pressing 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.
