2) Electrical safety
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
a.
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric
shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
b.
radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
c.
Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord.
d.
Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
e.
for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electri c shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use
f.
a residual current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD
reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
a.
operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment.
b.
Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting.
c.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool
d.
on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
e.
This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
f.
clothing and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
g.
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your
a.
application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
b.
Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
c.
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
d.
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain power tools.
e.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
f.
Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
g.
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in hazardous situation.

extremely high temperatures, chemical solutions and gases.
The Pressing Tool features extensive EMC protection. Should
electromagnetic interference switch off the Pressing Tool
nevertheless, please disconnect the machine from the mains briefly
or briefly remove the rechargeable battery from the fixture. This will generally
remedy the fault. Otherwise, please eliminate the cause of the interference.
9.2 Intermediate storage
Disconnect the Pressing Tool from the mains or remove the rechargeable
battery if you do not intend to use the Pressing Tool.
The rechargeable battery achieves its full theoretical capacity after
a long period of storage only after fully recharging the battery 1–5
times.
If the Pressing Tool is not used directly after delivery, please store it in the
original packaging at a dry location.
Keep Pressing Tool out of reach of unauthorised persons at dry,
lockable locations!
Pressing Tools that are not used for long periods (6 months or
more) must be cleaned and stored in a dry condition. Also check
the Pressing Tool for operability by conducting the checks in
accordance with Point 10.2 before using the Pressing Tool again.
9.3 Disposal
Please send the Pressing Tools to your nearest servicing agent
(see www.ridgid.eu for addresses) or dispose of it through a recycling
company for environment-friendly disposal. Pressing Tools may not be
disposed of as scrap metal or domestic waste.
10 Cleaning, checks, repairs and inspections
Always disconnect the machine from the mains or remove the
rechargeable battery from the Pressing Tool before carrying out
cleaning work!
10.1 Regular cleaning after use
• Clean the press rolls (5) in dry condition and grease them a little.
• Clean the press jaws to remove dirt and metallic residue using a solvent.
Then spray the entire jaw with a combined lubricant and corrosion inhibitor.
Never use liquids (water or chemicals) or damp cloths to clean the
Pressing Tool. The housing outside surface may be cleaned with a
damp cloth (plastic parts).
10.2 Regular checks
Ensure that the press jaw closes fully when pressing. Each time
after using the Pressing Tool, check the press geometry of the press
jaws for damage or visible wear.
Please contact an authorised servicing agent (see www.ridgid.eu for
addresses) if malfunctions occur.
10.3 Repairs
Never perform repair work yourself. Please always send the
Pressing Tool to an authorised servicing agent (see www.ridgid.eu
for addresses) for servicing or repair.
Do not tamper with the electrical and electronic systems. If
problems occur, please contact an authorised servicing agent (see
www.ridgid.eu for addresses).
10.4 Inspection and maintenance of the Pressing Tool (recommended)
Perfect press-fit joints require a fully operable and periodically serviced
Pressing Tool (recommended after 4 years or automatically at 32,000 cycles).
The Pressing Tool should thus be sent to an authorised servicing agent for
inspection and maintenance if the Service indicator lights. Periodic inspection
together with the press jaws (Point 6.4) considerably prolongs the service life
of the Pressing Tool.
The Service indicator (green LED and amber LED blinking) is intended to
draw your attention to the fact that the Pressing Tool requires servicing after
30,000 pressing operations. The Pressing Tool is locked by the electronic
monitoring system (yellow LED lights) after 32,000 pressing operations. It
must then be sent to an authorised servicing agent for servicing (see www.
ridgid.eu for addresses).
If there is a machine fault, the Pressing Tool is locked immediately by the
electronic monitoring system and it must then be submitted to a servicing
agent for inspection (always read Chapter 4.4).
