•Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec- tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection must be used for appropriate con- ditions.

Tool Use and Care

•Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

•Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

•Store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

•Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

•Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

•Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of the tool.

Service

•Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.

•When servicing a tool, use only identical replace- ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of electrical shock or injury.

Call the Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service Depart- ment at (800) 519-3456 if you have any questions.

Foot Switch Safety

WARNING

Using a threading machine without a foot switch increases the risk of serious injury. A foot switch provides better control by letting you shut off the motor by removing your foot. If clothing should become caught in the machine, it will continue to wind up, pulling you into the machine. Because the machine has high torque, the clothing itself can bind around your arm or other body parts with enough force to crush or break bones.

Machine Safety

•Threading Machine is made to thread and cut pipe or bolt and to power roll grooving equipment. Follow instructions on proper use of this machine. Do not use for other purposes such as drilling holes or turning winches. Other uses or modifying this power drive for other applications may increase the risk of serious injury.

•Secure machine to bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice will prevent tipping.

•Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper- ating machine. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe or machine resulting in entanglement and serious injury.

•Operate machine from side with REV/OFF/FOR switch. Eliminates need to reach over the machine.

•Do not use this machine if the foot switch is bro- ken or missing. Foot switch is a safety device to prevent serious injury.

•Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings. Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to a complete stop before touching the pipe or machine chucks. This practice will prevent entan- glement and serious injury.

•Do not use this machine to make or break fit- tings. This practice is not an intended use of the machine and can result in serious injury.

•Tighten chuck handwheel and engage rear cen- tering device on the pipe before turning on the machine. Prevents oscillation of the pipe.

•Keep covers in place. Do not operate the machine with covers removed. Exposure to moving parts may result in entanglement and serious injury.
