WARNING
Before proceeding, read "Safety Information" sec-
tion thoroughly and familiarize yourself with basic
machine components.

Check Oiling System

1. Set up machine on stand or bench.
2. Slide chip tray and draw tray out of reservoir pan.
(Figure 4)
3. Fill reservoir with approximately 5 quarts of RIDGID
Thread Cutting Oil. Reinstall draw tray and chip tray.
4. Plug power cord into grounded outlet. Voltage of
outlet must be the same as voltage indicated on tag
and name plate.
5. Place die head in DOWN position.
6. Turn REV/OFF/FOR switch to FOR (forward) position.
7. Step on foot switch. Oil will flow.

Electrical Power Source

Locate a power source as identified on the machine or
motor name plate. See minimum wire gage chart, page
2, if extension cord used.

Installing Pipe

1. Measure and mark length of pipe to be worked.
2. If pipe is long enough to be retained by rear centering
device, insert pipe through front or rear of machine. If
pipe is short, insert into front of machine.
NOTE! For pipe which extends 6' or more beyond the rear
centering device, support the rear centering de-
vice, support end of pipe with a RIDGID Pipe
support. (See Pipe Supports in Description, speci-
fications and Equipment.) If a wheeled stand is
being used, be sure to secure the two legs or block
wheels off the floor.
3. Make certain that pipe is centered in rear centering de-
vice, and close centering device until jaws engage
pipe. Secure centering device hand tight only. Do
not overtighten.
4. Tighten front chuck jaws with a repetitive counter-
clockwise snap spin of handwheel. This hammering
action tightens jaws on pipe. A clockwise snap spin
releases jaws.
