Set-Up And Operation; Removing/Installing Attachment - RIDGID RP 115 Manual Del Operador

RP 115 Press Tool
Do not modify pressing attachments or
use modified attachments. A pressing
attachment component that has been
welded, ground, drilled or modified in
any manner can shatter during press-
ing, resulting in sharp flying objects,
severe injury or death. Discard and
replace damaged pressing attach-
ments.
• Inspect the attachment markings to
make sure that it is clearly marked as
to the system and size that it is appro-
priate for. Do not use an attachment
that is not clearly marked.
• Inspect the press profile of the attach-
ment. If it is rusty, dirty or if there is
a buildup of fitting material, clean as
described in the Maintenance section.
It is important to keep the press profile
clean to prevent the formation of burrs
during pressing process, prevent the
attachment from sticking to the fitting
and making sure that a proper press
connection is made.
• Make sure that springs are intact and
bias the attachment in the closed direc-
tion. Attachment should cycle freely
from the fully open to fully closed posi-
tion. If needed, lubricate pivot points
with a light lubricating oil. Wipe any
excess oil from the attachment.
5. Inspect and maintain any other equip-
ment being used per its instructions to
make sure it is functioning properly.

Keep your fingers and hands away
from the tool attachment during the
press cycle. Your fingers or hands can
be crushed, fractured or amputated in
the attachment, tool, between the tool
and attachment, work piece and other

uct use that can break or throw parts
and cause injury. Stand clear during use
and wear appropriate protective equip-
ment, including eye protection.

8
combinations. Improper combinations
can result in an incomplete press con-
nection, which increases the risk of
leaks, equipment damage and injury.
Follow Set-up and Operation to reduce
the risk of injury from crushing and other
causes and to prevent tool damage.
