the nose piece from the housing. The new nose piece
(catalog #62003 – this contains the nose piece, the re-
taining pin, and the o-ring) can only be fully inserted in one

OFF the motor if it gets too hot. To reset the thermal
overload, unplug machine, turn ON/O-OFF/REV switch to
the O-OFF position and allow the motor to cool for 15 min-
utes. Use a thin, non-conductive probe to reach through
the opening in the motor cover (Figure 22) to press the
reset button. If motor does not start or the thermal over-
load continually trips during normal operation, the machine
should be taken to a RIDGID Independent Service Center.
