before operating the power drive. Failure to follow
all warnings and instructions may result in property dam-
age and/or serious injury.
• When threading 1" (25mm) or larger pipe, use
support device to resist threading forces. Use an
appropriate support device per these instructions.
Support devices improve control and reduce the risk of
striking, crushing, and/or other injuries.
• When using a support device other than the sup-
port arm, the support device must react against the
motor housing. Support devices contacting other
parts may damage the machine parts or increase the
risk of injury.
• Always firmly hold the power drive when threading
or backing die head off the pipe to resist threading
forces, regardless of support device use. This will
reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries.
• Do not use this power drive if switch button is
broken. This switch is a safety device that lets you shut
off the motor by releasing the switch.
• Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper-
ating machines. Keep sleeves and jackets but-
toned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe.
Clothing can be caught by the pipe or machine result-
ing in entanglement.
• One person must control the work process and
machine operation. Only the operator should be in the
work area when the machine is running. This helps
reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not use dull or damaged dies. Sharp cutting
tools require less torque and the power drive is easier
to control.
• Keep handles dry and clean, free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of tool..
• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials
such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
• Only use RIDGID die heads with RIDGID 700 Power
Drive, other die heads may not fit correctly in the
power drive increasing the risk of equipment dam-
age and personal injury.
• When using for applications other than described
in this manual, use a support device to resist han-
dle forces. Support devices improve control and reduce
the risk of striking, crushing, and/or other injuries.
The EC Declaration of Conformity (890-011-320.10) will ac -
company this manual as a separate booklet when required.

Heads (1/8 – 2 pipe). Other RIDGID die heads such
as the OO-R and 11-R can be used with adapters.
When threading 1" or larger pipe, a support device, such as
the No. 775 Support Arm or a RIDGID 14" heavy duty pipe
wrench is required to resist the threading forces.
The power drive can also be used to power the RIDGID 258
Pipe Cutter and for other applications, (See "Other Uses").
