HC-450/HC-300 Hole Cutting Tools

Tool Safety

• Hole Cutting Tools are made to cut holes in pipe.
Follow instructions in Operator's Manual on proper
use. Other uses may increase the risk of injury.
• To prevent entanglement do not reach across the
hole saw or wear loose cloth gloves. Because this
tool has high torque, clothing can entangle with enough
force to crush or break bone.
• Keep fingers and hands away from the hole saw
blade. Reduces the risk of being cut.
• Secure the hole cutting tool properly to the pipe.
Carefully follow set-up instructions. Position the
electric cord clear of the base and hole saw.
Improper set-up increases the risk of injury.
• Do not use dull, bent, or damaged hole saws or ar-
bors. Less likely to bind and lose control.
• When cutting into an existing system, the pipe
must be drained and de-pressurized. Reduces the
risk of electrical shock.

Specifications and Accessories
Description
The RIDGID Model HC-450 Hole Cutting Tool is de-
signed to cut holes up to 4
hole sizes allow the use of Mechanical T's
O-Lets™, and other fittings for branching unpressurized
pipe lines.
The HC-450 has a 5 / " capacity drill chuck to accommo-
8
date all sizes of hole saws and hole saw arbors. An inte-
gral motor and gear reduction optimizes performance of
large diameter hole saws. A unique two-feed handle and
switch actuation allows the operator to use the Hole
Cutting Tool from either the left or right side. A rotating lev-
eling vial in the base allows repeated holes to line up. Only
12" high, the compact design, allows the HC-450 to be
used in tight quarters or above installed pipe close to
ceilings.

WARNING
The HC-450 is not a Hot Tapping Tool. Care must be
taken to ensure the system is drained and de-pres-
surized to prevent serious injury and/or property
damage!
