ing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any other conditions which may affect the safe and normal op- eration of the machine. If any of these conditions are present, do not use the Threading Machine until any problem has been repaired.

7.Use tools and accessories that are specifically de- signed for your Threading Machine and meet the needs of your application. The correct tools and ac- cessories allow you to do the job successfully and safely. Accessories suitable for use with other equip- ment may be hazardous when used with this Threading Machine.

8.Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all handles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool or control slipping from your grip.

9.Inspect the cutting edges of your tools and dies. If necessary, have them replaced prior to using the Threading Machine.

NOTE! Use sharp dies at all times. Dull dies require more power from the motor and produce poor quality threads.

10.Clean metal shavings and other debris from the chip tray.

WARNING

2.Clean up the work area prior to setting up any equip- ment.

3.If the workpiece extends more than four (4) feet beyond the Threading Machine, use one or more pipe stands to prevent tipping and the oscillation of the pipe.

4.Check level of RIDGID Threading Cutting Coolant and fill as necessary.

NOTE! RIDGID Thread Cutting Coolant is engineered specifically for use with the 1210 Threading Machine. It is designed to quickly cool the pipe and leave a clean, dry thread ready for imme- diate installation.

•Observe coolant level in the reservoir by view- ing the sight glass at the rear of the Model 1210 (Figure 4).

•Unscrew the reservoir cap and pour the coolant into the reservoir (Figure 4).

NOTE! Reservoir will hold approximately 16 oz. of fluid.

• Replace the reservoir cap.

CAUTION Use of fluids other than RIDGID Thread Cutting Coolant will void the RIDGID 1210 warranty and may cause damage to the threading machine and thread- ing dies. RIDGID Thread Cutting Coolant should NOT be used in or with any other RIDGID threading equipment.

To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the machine and work area is required. The following procedures should be followed to set-up the ma- chine:

1.Locate a work area that has the following:

•Adequate lighting

•No flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

•Grounded electrical outlet

•Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or moving parts that may damage electrical cord.

•Dry place for machine and operator. Do not use the machine while standing in water.

•Level ground

•Adequate ventilation to prevent accumulation of coolant vapors
