Set-Up and Operation

WARNING
Set up and operate the power drive according to
these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from
electric shock, entanglement, striking, crushing
and other causes, and to help prevent power drive
damage.
Use an appropriate support device per these in-
structions. Support devices improve control and
reduce the risk of striking, crushing, and/or other
injuries.
When using a support device other than the sup-
plied support arm, the support device must react
against the gear housing. Support devices contact-
ing the motor housing or handle may damage these
parts or increase the risk of injury.
Always firmly hold the power drive when threading
or backing die head off the pipe to resist use forces,
regardless of support device use. This will reduce
the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries.
Do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves
and jackets buttoned. Loose clothing can become
entangled in rotating parts and cause crushing and
striking injuries.
Properly support pipe. This will reduce the risk of
falling pipe, tipping and serious injury.

Do not use a power drive without a properly oper-
ating ON/OFF switch and Forward/Reverse Slide
Switch.
One person must control both the work process and
the ON/OFF switch. Do not operate with more than
one person. In case of entanglement, the operator
must be in control of the ON/OFF switch.
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.
If present, do not work in area until sources have
been identified and corrected. The power drives
are not explosion proof and can cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable, dry location for all equipment
and operator.
• Good ventilation. Do not use extensively in small,
enclosed areas.
2. Inspect the pipe to be threaded and associated fit-
tings and confirm that the selected power drive is a
correct tool for the job. See Specifications. Do not
use to thread anything other than straight stock.
Equipment for other applications can be found in the
Ridge Tool catalog, online at RIDGID.com or by calling
Ridge Tool Technical Service in the U.S. and Canada
at (800) 519-3456.
3. Make sure equipment to be used has been properly
inspected.
4. Properly prepare the pipe as needed. Make sure the
pipe is squarely cut and deburred. Pipe cut at an
angle can damage the dies while threading or cause
difficulty engaging the die head.

Installing Die Heads

5. Installing 12-R Die Heads (760 FXP 12-R), 11-R (1½"
- 2") Die Heads or Adapter (760 FXP 11-R):
a. Make sure ON/OFF switch is released and battery
removed from tool.
b. Rotate the Drive Ring counterclockwise in the
direction of the arrows to open the retaining mech-
anism. Release the drive ring and confirm that the
drive stays in the open position (see Figure 6).
c. Fully insert the die head or adapter spline end into
the power drive to automatically lock the retaining
mechanism. Rotate the die head until the drive
pawls securely engage the spline. The 12-R die
head can be inserted from either side of the power
drive.
d. Confirm that the die head/adapter is secure.
e. To remove the die head, rotate the Drive Ring
counterclockwise in the direction of the arrows and
hold in the unlocked position.
