Standard Equipment
Each 600 and 690 Power drive is supplied with a support arm. Units may be supplied
with a metal carrying case and die heads.
Safety
1. Know your Power Drive. Read the Operator's Manual carefully. Learn the
operation, application, and limitations as well as the specific potential hazards
peculiar to this tool.
2. Use right tool. We recommend use of 601/691 Support Arm. The Support Arm
assures safer operation when using the 600 or 690 Power Drive horizontally,
vertically or overhead because once it is secured to the pipe to take up the
threading torque, both hands are free to mount the Power Drive into position.
When the job is completed, the Power Drive and Support Arm can be
removed separately assuring safer job take down. Do not force small tool or
attachment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool.
3. Secure work. Use clamp, bench vise or stand vise to hold pipe which is not
otherwise rigidly supported or attached.
Operation
Threading with drop head die heads.
1. 1/8" - 1 1/4" RIDGID R-200 Die Heads fit into the RIDGID 600 and 690 power
threaders without the need for adaptors. Simply push Die Heads spline end first,
squarely into Face Gear until spring catches securely. (See fig. 1a) 1 1/2" and 2"
RIDGID R-200 die heads are simply installed in the RIDGID 690 once the adaptor
ring has been pushed out (See fig. 1b).
For right hands threads, installation is as shown in fig. 2a.
For left hand threads, installation is as shown in fig 2b.
Note: The direction change switch is used to back-off the Die Head when the
thread is completed. For threading, the switch must always be positioned so that
the solid arrow shows. See fig. 2c.
Important: When threading pipe, the No. 601/691 Support Arm should be used
and securely locked on the pipe as shown in Figures 3 and 4. Position the Support
Arm on pipe so end of tang is in line with end of pipe. To use the Support Arm
and Power Drive together correctly refer to Figures 3 and 4. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in injury to operator because of torque developed
during threading.
2. Place Die Head (already installed in Power Drive) over end of pipe. When using
make sure Power Drive is correctly positioned on Support Arm. For Right Hand
threads, Die Head should rotate CW. (looking at face of Die Head).
Note: During threading, apply plenty of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil to dies.
3. Simultaneously actuate switch button and exert pressure on machine to make
sure thread is started. Keep switch button depressed until threading is completed.
Releasing switch button will stop the Power Drive.
Caution: Hold onto Power Drive handle firmly to resist initial torque while backing
off Die Head.
4. To back off Die head from threaded pipe, set direction switch to back off position.
See fig. 2d. Actuate paddle switch. When dies clear end of pipe, grip handle on
top of Power Drive and remove Power Drive from pipe.
MAINTENANCE OF POWER DRIVE
Motor Brush Replacement
Warning: To reduce possibility of electrical shock and accidental starting always
unplug power cord before servicing. Check Motor Brushes every 6 months and
replace Brushes when they are worn to less than 1/4" (6 mm).
The unit is designed to be maintenance free apart from the motor brushes which will
wear. All other maintenance should be performed by factory approved service
stations. Permanent oil filling - no maintenance required.
