Machine Operation
Using Standard Equipment
Before proceeding, read Safety Information section thor-
oughly and familiarize yourself with basic machine com-
ponents.
Check Oiling System
Remove chip pan and install enough RIDGID thread
cutting oil to fill oil reservoir.
Electrical Power Source
Locate a power source as identified on the machine or
motor nameplate. See Electrical Safety Section for
Additional Precautions and Instructions.
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 that extends 6 ft. or more beyond the
rear centering device, support end of pipe with a
RIDGID Pipe Stand.
3. Make certain that pipe is centered in rear centering
device, if used, and close centering device until jaws
engage pipe. Secure centering device hand tight
only. Do not over-tighten.
4. Tighten front chuck jaws with a repetitive counter-
clockwise snap spin of handwheel. This hammering
action tightens jaws on pipe. A clockwise rotation
snap spin releases jaws.
