RIDGID PH-60C Swiv-L-Punch Head Instructions

PH-60C Swiv-L-Punch™ Head Instructions
for all equipment and material being used before operating this tool
to reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
• Keep your fingers and hands away from the punch head during
the punch cycle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed, fractured or
amputated if they are caught between the punch dies or the compo-
nents and any other object.
• This head is not insulated for use on or near energized conduc-
tors. Use of this head on or near energized conductors may lead to
electrical shock, causing severe injury or death.
• Large forces are generated during product use that can break or
throw parts and cause injury. Stand clear during use and wear ap-
propriate protective equipment, including eye protection.
• Do not handle punch head while punching. The punch head con-
tains high pressure oil during punching. High pressure oil escaping
from punch head can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If oil
is injected under the skin, seek immediate medical attention.
• Never repair a damaged head. A head that has been welded,
ground, drilled or modified in any manner can break during use. Only
replace components as indicated in these instructions. Discard dam-
aged heads to reduce the risk of injury.
• Only use a PH-60C Swiv-L-Punch™ Head with a RIDGID
RE 60 Electrical Tool. Use of other tools with this head may damage
the head, tool, draw stud, punch dies, or result in serious injury.

Inspection/Maintenance
Inspect the Punch Head before each use for issues that could affect safe
use.
1. With the battery removed from the tool, depress the QCS sleeve
and remove the head.
2. Clean the head and remove all dirt, oil, grease, and debris to aid in
inspection and improve control. Pay close attention to the QCS cou-
pling to ensure there is no debris to damage the coupling. Ensure
that the threaded hole is free of debris.
3. Inspect the head for:
• Proper assembly and completeness.
• Wear, corrosion or other damage. Dim-
ples in the grooves of the QCS coupling
are normal with use and are not consid-
ered damage.
• Oil Leaks. If the draw stud piston ex-
tends past the tool face (Figure 2), the
oil is low. Have the punch head serviced
– do not attempt to add oil.
• Presence and readability of head mark-
ings.
If any issues are found, do not use head until corrected.
4. Inspect the electrical tool and any other equipment being used as
directed in their instructions. Make sure other knockout components
are in good working condition.
5. The QCS coupling is lubricated for life at the factory and does not
require any further lubrication. Do not disassemble the Punch Head.
Unit contains compressed spring.
