Press Tool Safety
• Use the RP 210 Press Tool only with RIDGID Com -

attachments during press cycle. Your fingers or
hands can be crushed, fractured or amputated if they
become caught between the jaws or between these
components and any other object.

has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any
manner can shatter during pressing resulting in serious
injury. Discard the entire damaged jaws. Replace with
new jaws. Never replace individual components except
for damaged jaw return springs. Please call Ridge
Tool Company, Technical Services for availability.

Description, Specifications
And Standard Equipment
Description
The RP 210 Press Tool, when used with appropriate
jaws, is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing
to create a water-tight and permanent seal. When the
switch on the RP 210 is depressed, an internal electric
motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces fluid into
the cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram forward and apply-
ing thousands of pounds of pressing force onto specially
designed fittings. Attachments are also available for other
uses.
The entire cycle duration is approximately five (5) seconds.
Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automat-
ically continue until completion, even if the trigger switch
is released. The LED displays on the back of the tool indi-
cate problems such as improper temperature, open
attachment mounting pin or maintenance required.
