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. Distractions 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 ground ed 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 en tering 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
-

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 depressed, 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.
