SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers a way while operating a power tool. Distrac -tions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any 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, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. 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 for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when 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. 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. 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 energizing power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool 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. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, 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 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 and accessories. 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. 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 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 a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Battery Tool Use And Care

• Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
• When a battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Description

The RIDGID® RP 240 and RP 241 Press Tools, when used with appropriate attachments, are designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal, such as for plumbing and heating applications. Attachments are also available for other uses.
When the run switch on the press tool is de-pressed, an internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump which sends fluid into the cylinder of the tool, moving the ram forward and applying force to the attachment, pressing the fitting. The press cycle takes approximately 5 seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the run switch is released.
The Tool Status Lights indicate things such as improper temperature, low battery, or maintenance required. A work light turns on when the run switch is depressed to illuminate the work area. The head can be rotated for better access in tight spaces.
The tools are supplied with a fabric loop that can be used with appropriate attachments such as shoulder straps or tie-off lines.
The press tools include Bluetooth® wireless technology to allow connection to smart phones and tablets. See “Bluetooth Functions (Wireless Data Transfer)” section for details.

Removing/Installing Attachment

Preparing Connection

NOTICE These instructions are generalized practices for several types of press tool attachments. Always follow the specific instructions for the press tool attachment being used and the fitting manufacturers’ specific installation instructions to reduce the risk of improper press connections and extensive property damage.

1. Prepare the connection according to the fitting manufacturers’ instructions.
2. With dry hands, insert a fully charged battery into tool. Depress ON/OFF button one time to turn tool ON. Green light at ON/OFF button should come on indicating that the tool is ready to use. See Figure 5 – Tool Status Lights for any other lights. NOTE: Tool will automatically turn OFF if left unused for ten (10) minutes.

Pressing A Fitting With Typical Scissor Jaws

1. Squeeze jaw arms to open jaws.

2. Place open jaws around fitting (Figure 7). Properly align jaw press profile with contour of the fitting as specified in Fitting Manufacturer’s Installation Instructions. Release jaw arms to close jaws around fitting. Do not hang jaw set from fitting. Tool could unexpectedly drop and cause serious injury or death.

3. Confirm jaw is appropriately placed and square to fitting. Keep fingers and hands away from the jaws to avoid crushing injuries in jaws or between jaws and surroundings.
   Depress the run switch (Figure 1/2). Once the tool cycle begins and the rollers contact the jaw arms, the tool will lock on and automatically complete the cycle. Releasing the switch will not stop the tool once it has locked on. This assures consistent, repeatable press joint integrity.
   If tool must be removed before a connection is completed, depress the pres- sure release button (Figure 1/2). Any time release button is depressed, press is NOT complete and the connection must be pressed again to ensure completion. If the tool malfunctions during operation, use this procedure.

4. Release the run switch.

5. Squeeze jaw arms to open jaws.

6. Remove jaw from fitting. Avoid sharp edges that may have formed on fitting during pressing operation.

7. When operation is complete, depress On/Off button one time to turn tool OFF. Remove battery from tool.

Pressing A Fitting With Typical Actuator And Press Ring Set

1. Open ring and place around fitting. Properly align ring press profile with contour of the fitting as specified in Fitting Manufacturer’s Installation Instructions. Release ring to close around fitting.

2. Confirm appropriate actuator is installed in tool. Squeeze actuator arms to open the actuator tips. Align actuator tips with ring pockets. Release actuator arms and fully engage actuator tips into ring pockets. Misaligning actuator tip to ring pocket can damage the ring or actuator during pressing. Do not hang tool and actuator from press ring. Tool could unexpectedly drop and cause serious injury or death.

3. Confirm ring is appropriately placed and square to fitting. Keep fingers and hands away from the actuator and ring to avoid crushing injuries in attachment or between attachment and surroundings. Depress the run switch. Once the tool cycle begins and the rollers contact the jaw arms, the tool will lock-on and auto-matically complete the cycle. Releasing the switch will not stop the tool once it has locked on. This assures consistent, repeatable press joint integrity.
   If tool must be removed before a connection is completed, depress the release button (Figure 1/2). Any time release but-ton is depressed, press is NOT complete and the connection must be pressed again to ensure completion. If the tool malfunctions during operation, use this procedure.
