Power Drive Safety

• Follow instructions on proper use of this machine.
Do not use for other purposes such as drilling
holes or turning winches. Other uses or modifying
this machine for other applications may increase the risk
of serious injury.
• When threading 3/4" or larger pipe, use support
device to resist threading forces. Use an appro-
priate support device per these instructions.
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 or fan housing. Support
devices contacting 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 threading
forces, regardless of support device use. This will
reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries.
• Do not use this power drive if ON/OFF switch is
broken. This switch is a safety device that lets you
shut off the motor by releasing the switch.
• Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper-
ating machines. Keep sleeves and jackets but-
toned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe.
Clothing can be caught by the pipe or machine result-
ing in entanglement.
• One person must control the work process and
machine operation. Only the operator should be in
the work area when the machine is running. This
helps reduce the risk of injury.
• Do not use dull or damaged dies. Sharp cutting
tools require less torque and the power drive is easier
to control.
• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of tool.
• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials
such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
• Only use RIDGID die heads with RIDGID Power
Drives Other die heads may not fit correctly in the
power drive increasing the risk of equipment dam-
age and personal injury.
