the RIDGID
®
QuickChange System™ (QCS™) Coupling
that allows the installation and use of a variety of inter-
changeable heads.
The RE 600 series of Electrical Tools have dedicated
(non-interchangeable) heads.
All heads (both interchangeable and dedicated) can be
rotated 360 degrees for better access in tight spaces.
When operated, an internal electric motor powers a
hydraulic pump which supplies fluid to the cylinder of the
tool, moving the ram forward and applying force to spe-
cially designed tool heads.
The tools come with two (2) fabric loops that can be
used with appropriate attachments such as shoulder
straps or tie off lanyards.
The tools are equipped with a bright work light that turns
on when the run switch is depressed.This allows the
user to easily illuminate the work area.
The tool status lights indicate the tool's status (tool
ON/OFF, temperature out of range, service required, etc.).
See specific head instructions for specifications and other
information.
