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 elec- tric 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 com- mon 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 mo - ment 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 turn- ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left at - tached 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 jewel ry. Keep your hair and clothing 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. 535 Manual Chuck/535 Auto Chuck Threading Machines Power Tool use And Care
  • Do not force the 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 the 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, chang- ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre- ventive 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 pow - er tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
  • Maintain power tools. 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 main- tained 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 dif- ferent 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. Service
  • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.• Do not use this machine if the foot switch is bro- ken or missing. The foot switch provides safe control of the machine, such as shut-off in case of entangle- ment.
  • One person must control the work process, ma - chine operation and foot switch. Only the operator should be in the work area when the machine is run- ning. This helps reduce the risk of injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE! Keep this manual with machine for use by the operator. Threading Machines Safety Warnings

  • Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
  • Restrict access or barricade the area when work piece extends beyond machine to provide a mini- mum of one meter (3 feet) clearance from the work piece. Restricting access or barricading the work area around the work piece will reduce the risk of entanglement.
  • Do not wear gloves. Gloves may be entangled by the rotating pipe or machine parts leading to personal injury.
  • 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.
  • Secure machine to bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice will prevent the machine from tipping.
  • While operating the machine, stand on the side where the operator control switch is located. Opera - ting the machine from this side eliminates need to reach over the machine.
  • Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings. Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to a complete stop before touching the pipe. This practice will reduce the chance of entanglement in rotating parts.
  • Do not use this machine to install or remove (make or break) fittings. This practice could lead to trapping, entanglement and loss of control.
  • Do not operate the machine without all covers properly installed. Exposing moving parts increases the probability of entanglement.

  • Refer to your machine serial number plate for information on motor rating and control panel for information on your specific machine. ** Sound measurements are measured in accordance with a standardized test per Standard EN 62481-1. - Sound emissions may vary due to your location and specific use of these tools. - Daily exposure levels for sound need to be evaluated for each application and appropriate safety measures taken when needed. Evaluation of exposure levels should consider the time a tool is switched off and not in use. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Standard Equipment Refer to the RIDGID catalog for details on equipment supplied with specific machine catalog numbers. The Threading Machine serial number plate is located on the back cover. The last 4 digits indicate the month and year of the manufacture. Figure 3 – Machine Serial NumberPre-Operation Inspection WARNING Before each use, inspect your threading machine and correct any problems to reduce the risk of seri- ous injury from electric shock, crushing and other causes and prevent threading machine damage.

1. Make sure that the threading machine is unplugged

and the REV/OFF/FOR (2/0/1) Switch is in OFF (0) position.

2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the threading

machine, including the handles and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or control from slipping from your grip. Clean and main- tain the machine per the Maintenance Instructions.

3. Inspect the threading machines for the following:

  • Inspect the cords and plugs for damage or modifi- cation.
  • Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
  • Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding parts or other damage.
  • Presence and operation of the foot switch. Confirm that foot switch is attached, in good condition, that it cycles smoothly and does not stick.
  • Presence and readability of the warning labels (See Figure 1 & 2).
  • Condition of the dies, cutter wheel and reamer cut- ting edges. Dull or damaged cutting tools increase required force, produce poor results and increase the risk of injury.
  • Any other condition which may prevent safe and normal operation. If any problems are found, do not use the threading machine until the problems have been repaired.

4. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being

used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning properly.

Selection of appropriate materials and instal- lation, joining and forming methods is the responsibility of the system designer and/or installer. Selection of improp- er materials and methods could cause system failure. Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials can be contaminated during installation, joining and forming. This contamination could cause corrosion and premature failure. Careful evaluation of materials and methods for the specific service conditions, including chemical and tem- perature, should be completed before any installation is attempted. Machine Assembly WARNING To reduce the risk of serious injury during use, fol- low these procedures for proper assembly. Failure to mount the threading machine to a stable stand or bench may result in tipping and serious injury. REV/OFF/FOR Switch should be OFF and machine unplugged before assembly. Use proper lifting techniques. RIDGID 535 threading machines weigh 260 lbs. (118 kg) or more. Mounting on Stands The Threading Machines can be mounted on various RIDGID Threader Stands. Refer to RIDGID catalog for stand information and to the respective Stand Instruction Sheet for mounting instructions. Mounting on Bench The machines can be mounted on a level, stable bench. To mount the unit on a bench, use four 5/16"-18 UNC bolts in holes provided at each corner of the machine base. Base hole spacing is 29.5" x 15.5" (749 mm x 394 mm). Tighten securely. 535 Manual Chuck/535 Auto Chuck Threading Machines NOTICE999-

7. Swing the cutter, reamer and die head up away from

the operator. Make sure they are stable and will not fall in the work area.

8. If pipe will extend past the chip tray in the front of the

machine or more than 4' (1,2 m) out of the rear of the machine, use pipe stands to support the pipe and pre- vent the pipe and threading machine from tipping or falling. Place the pipe stands in line with machine chucks, approximately 1/3 of distance from end of the pipe to the machine. Longer pipe may need more than one pipe stand. Only use pipe stands designed for this purpose. Improper pipe supports or supporting the pipe by hand can cause tipping or entanglement injuries.

9. Restrict access or set-up guards or barricades to

create a minimum of 3' (1 m) clearance around the threading machine and pipe. This helps prevent non- operators from contacting the machine or pipe and reduces the risk of tipping or entanglement.

10. Position the foot switch as shown in Figure 17, to allow

a proper operating position.

11. Check the level of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil. Remove

the chip tray and oil pan liner; see that the filter screen assembly is fully submerged in oil. See Oil System Maintenance.

12. With the REV/OFF/FOR Switch in OFF position, run the

cord along a clear path. With dry hands, plug the power cord into properly grounded outlet. Keep all connections dry and off the ground. If the power cord is not long enough use an extension cord that:

  • Is in good condition.
  • Has a three-prong plug like on the threading machine.
  • Is rated for outdoor use and contains a W or W-A in the cord designation (e.g. SOW).

13. Check the threading machine for proper operation.

With hands clear of moving parts:

  • Move the REV/OFF/FOR (2/0/1) Switch to the FOR (1) position. Press and release the foot switch. Chuck should rotate counter-clockwise when viewed from the carriage end (see Figure 22). Repeat for REV position – chuck should rotate clockwise. If the thread- ing machine does not rotate in the correct direction, or the foot switch does not control the machine Machine and Work Area Set-Up WARNING Set up the Threading Machine and the work area according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, machine tipping, entan- glement, crushing and other causes, and to help prevent threading machine damage. Secure machine to stable stand or bench. Properly support pipe. This will reduce the risk of falling pipe, tipping and serious injury. Do not use the Threading Machines without a prop- erly operating foot switch. A foot switch provides better control by letting you shut off the machine motor by removing your foot.

1. Check work area for:

  • Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite. If present, do not work in area until source is identified, removed or corrected, and area is completely ven- tilated. The threading machine is not explosion proof and can cause sparks.
  • Clear, level, stable and dry place for all equipment and operator.
  • Good ventilation. Do not use extensively in small, enclosed areas.
  • Properly grounded electrical outlet of the correct voltage. Check the machine serial plate for required voltage. A three-prong or GFCI outlet may not be properly grounded. If in doubt, have outlet inspected by a licensed electrician.

2. Inspect the pipe to be threaded and associated fit-

tings. Determine the correct equipment for the job, see Specifications. Do not use to thread anything oth - er than straight stock. Do not thread pipe with fittings or other attachments. This increases the risk of entan- glement.

3. Transport equipment to work area. See Preparing

Machine for Transport for information.

4. Confirm equipment to be used has been properly in -

spected and assembled.

5. Confirm that the REV/OFF/FOR Switch is in the OFF

6. Check that the correct dies are in the die head and are

operation, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.

  • Depress and hold the foot switch. Inspect the mov- ing parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or any other unusual conditions. Remove foot from the foot switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do not use the machine until it has been repaired. For 535 Auto Chuck machines, confirm that the FOR rotation closes the chuck and REV rotation opens it.
  • Place die head in the use position. Depress and hold the foot switch. Check for oil flow through the die head. Remove foot from the foot switch.

14. Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the OFF posi-

tion, and with dry hands unplug the machine. Die Head Set-Up and Use The 535 Manual Chuck/535 Auto Chuck Threading Ma - chines can be used with a variety of RIDGID Die Heads to cut pipe and bolt threads. Information is included here for Quick-Opening, Self-Opening and Semi-Automatic Die Heads. See the RIDGID catalog for other available die heads. Die Heads using Universal Dies for pipe require one set of dies for each of the following pipe size ranges: (

" and ¾") and (1" through 2"). NPT/NPSM dies must be used in NPT Die Heads and BSPT/BSPP dies must be used in BSPT Die Heads – The cam plate is marked for each. Die heads using Bolt dies require a dedicated set of dies for each specific thread size. High Speed dies are recommended for threading at 40 rpm and higher speeds. See the RIDGID catalog for dies available for your die head. Always cut a test thread to confirm proper thread size after changing/adjusting the Dies. Removing/Installing Die Head Insert/remove Die Head Post into mating hole in car- riage. When fully inserted, the Die Head will be held in place. When it is installed, the Die Head can be pivoted on post to align it with pipe or it can be swung up and out of the way to allow use of cutter or reamer. Quick-Opening Die Heads Quick opening die heads include Model 811A and 531/532 Bolt. Quick opening die heads are manually opened and closed for user specified thread length.

Figure 15 – Adjusting Thread Size Opening the Diehead at the end of the Thread When the end of the pipe is flush with the end of the number 1 die, press the handle to open die head and retract the dies. Do not run machine in reverse (REV) with dies engaged. Operating Instructions WARNING Do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Loose clothing can become entangled in rotating parts and cause crushing and striking injuries. Keep hands away from rotating pipe and parts. Stop the machine before wiping threads or screwing on t- tings. Do not reach across the machine or pipe. To prevent entanglement, crushing or striking injuries, allow machine to come to a complete stop before touching the pipe or machine chucks. Do not use this machine to make or break (tighten or loosen) ttings. This can cause striking or crushing injuries. Do not use a threading machine without a properly operating foot switch. Never block a foot switch in the ON position so that it does not control the threading machine. A foot switch provides better control by letting you shut off the machine motor by removing your foot. If entanglement should occur and power is maintained to the motor, you will be pulled into the machine. This machine has high torque and can cause clothing to bind around your arm or other body parts with enough force to crush or break bones or cause striking or other injuries. One person must control both the work process and the foot switch. Do not operate with more than one person. In case of entanglement, the operator must be in control of the foot switch. Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of injury from entanglement, striking, crushing and other causes.

1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly set

up and that the work area is free of bystanders and other distractions. The operator should be the only per- son in the barricaded area while the machine is oper- ated. The cutter, reamer and die head should be up away from the operator, do not place in the operating posi- tion. Make sure they are stable and will not fall in the work area. Fully open the chucks of the threading machine. For Manual Chuck machines, turn the front chuck hand- wheel clockwise (see Figure 16). For Auto Chuck ma - chines, move the REV/OFF/FOR (2/0/1) Switch to the REV (2) position, depress and release the foot switch.

2. Insert pipe shorter than 2’ (0,6 m) from the front of the

machine. Insert longer pipes through either end so that the longer section extends out beyond the rear of the threading machine. Confirm that pipe stands are properly placed.

3. If needed, mark the pipe. Place pipe so that the area to

be cut or end to be reamed or threaded is approxi- mately 4" (100 mm) from the front of the chuck. If closer, the carriage may strike the machine during threading and damage the machine.

For Manual Chuck machines: Turn the rear center- ing device counterclockwise (viewed from rear of machine) to close down onto pipe. Make sure that the pipe is centered in the jaws. This improves pipe sup- port and gives better results.

535 Manual Chuck/535 Auto Chuck Threading Machines down onto pipe. Make sure that the pipe is centered in the inserts. Use repeated and forceful counterclockwise spins of the handwheel to secure the pipe in front chuck. For Auto Chuck machines: Move the REV/OFF/ FOR (2/0/1) Switch to the FOR (1) position and step on the foot switch. The machine will automatically center and grip the pipe or stock. If pipe is chucked off center, run the machine in REV to release and re-chuck. Do not handle rotating pipe. Auto chuck machines only grip pipe when rotating.

5. Assume a proper operating position to help maintain

control of the machine and pipe (See Figure 17).

  • Stand on the REV/OFF/FOR Switch side of the machine with convenient access to the tools and switch.
  • Be sure that you can control the foot switch. Do not step on foot switch yet. In case of emergency, you must be able to release the foot switch.
  • Be sure that you have good balance and do not have to overreach. Figure 17 – Operating Position Changing operating Speeds 535 Threading machines come in single and multiple speed versions. Any speed may be used for cutting and reaming. Threading Speed Selection
  • Up to 36 RPM – Suitable for threading up to 2" pipe, bolt threading, high torque applications like stainless steel and high hardness material.
  • 46 RPM – Suitable for threading up to 2" pipe. High Speed Dies are recommended.
  • 54 and 58 RPM – Suitable for threading up to 1

" pipe. High Speed Dies are recommended.

  • Higher than 58 RPM – Not suitable for threading. Use for cutting and reaming only. If the machine stalls while operating, immediately release foot switch and change to low speed. Do not change speed while cutting, reaming or threading. If equipped with a shifter (see Figure 18), to shift: Figure 18 – 535 Shifter

1. Pull the shifter knob out.

2. Move the shifter to the desired speed position and

release the knob into detent. If shifter cannot be moved, leave in current speed set- ting. Depress and release the foot switch, allow the machine to come to a full stop and try shifting again. Do not shift while the machine is rotating. 400 Volt three phase 535 machines can be operated in 35 or 70 rpm. This is controlled by the machine switch, which is marked 2-1-0-1-2. 0 is the OFF position, 1 is 35 rpm (For - ward and Reverse), 2 is 70 rpm (Forward and Reverse). See Figure 19.

535 Manual Chuck/535 Auto Chuck Threading Machines Cutting with No. 820 Cutter

1. Open cutter by turning the feed screw counterclock-

wise. Lower the cutter into cutting position. Align the cutter wheel with the mark on pipe. Cutting threaded or damaged sections of pipe can damage the cutter wheel. Length Gauge Use – Place cutting wheel blade against the end of pipe and set length gauge pointer to “0” (Figure 20A). Raise cutter and turn carriage hand- wheel until the pointer is at the length desired. Lower the cutter into cutting position. See Figure 20B. Figure 20A – Cutter Wheel Blade Against End of Pipe. Set Pointer to Zero (0) Figure 20B – Length Gauge Pointer At Desired Length

2. Tighten the cutter feed screw handle to bring the cut-

ter wheel firmly in contact with the pipe while keeping the cutter wheel aligned with the mark on pipe.

3. Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the FOR position.

4. With both hands, grasp the pipe cutter feed handle.

5. Depress the foot switch.

6. Tighten the feed screw handle one-half turn per rota-

tion of the pipe until the pipe is cut. More aggressive tightening of the handle reduces cutter wheel life and increases burr formation. Do not support the pipe by hand. Let the cut off piece be supported by the threading machine carriage and pipe stand. Figure 21 – Cutting Pipe with Cutter

7. Remove foot from the foot switch.

8 Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the OFF position.

9. Raise the cutter into position up away from the oper-

ator. Reaming with No. 341 Reamer

1. Move the reamer into reaming position. Make sure

that it is securely positioned to prevent it from moving during use.

2. Extend reamer by releasing latch and sliding the

reamer towards pipe until the latch engages.

3. Move the REV/OFF/FOR (2/0/1) Switch to the FOR

4. With both hands, grasp the carriage handwheel.

5. Depress the foot switch.

6. Turn carriage handwheel to move the reamer to the

FOR (1) REV (2) 2 in REV (2)end of the pipe. Apply slight pressure to the hand- wheel to feed the reamer into pipe to remove the burr as desired.

7. Remove foot from the foot switch.

8. Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the OFF position.

9. Retract the reamer by releasing latch and sliding the

reamer away from pipe until the latch engages.

10. Move reamer up away from the operator.

Threading Pipe Due to differing pipe characteristics, a test thread should always be performed before the first thread of the day or when changing pipe size, schedule or material.

1. Lower the die head into the threading position. Confirm

that the dies are correct for the pipe being threaded and properly set. See the Die Head Set-Up and Use section for information on changing and adjusting dies.

2. If needed, chose a correct operating speed for the

application. See Changing operating Speeds section.

3. Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the FOR position.

4. With both hands, grasp the carriage handwheel.

5. Depress the foot switch.

6. Confirm cutting oil flow through the die head. Current

535 Threading Machines use through head oiling. Machines made prior to 1996 have an oil spout which must be swung to the down position to flood dies with oil. Figure 23 – Threading Pipe

7. Turn carriage handwheel to move the die head to

the end of pipe. Apply slight force to the handwheel to start the die head onto the pipe. Once the die head starts threading, no more force is required on the carriage handwheel.

8. Keep your hands away from the rotating pipe. Make

sure the carriage does not hit the machine. When the thread is complete, open the die head (if the die head does not open automatically). Do not run machine in Reverse (REV) with dies engaged.

9. Remove foot from the foot switch.

10. Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the OFF posi-

11. Turn the carriage handwheel to move the die head

past the end of the pipe. Raise the die head into position up away from the operator.

12. Remove the pipe from the machine and inspect the

thread. Do not use the machine to tighten or loosen fit- tings on the thread. Threading Bar Stock/Bolt Threading Bolt threading is similar to the pipe threading process. The stock diameter should never exceed the thread major diam- eter. When cutting bolt threads, the correct dies and die head must be used. Bolt threads may be cut as long as needed, but make sure the carriage does not hit the machine. If long threads are required:

1. At the end of carriage travel, leave the diehead closed,

remove foot from the foot switch and move the REV/ - OFF/ FOR Switch to the OFF position.

2. For Manual Chuck machines: Open the chuck and

move the carriage and workpiece to the end of the machine. Re-chuck the rod and continue threading.

3. For Auto Chuck machines: Move the REV/OFF/FOR

Switch in the REV position and tap the foot switch to release the workpiece. Slide the carriage and work- piece to the end of the machine. Re-chuck the rod and continue threading. Left Hand Threading Cutting left hand threads is similar to the right hand thread- ing process. To cut left hand threads left hand threading kit, left hand die heads and dies are required. For reaming with the machine in reverse a Model E-863 Reamer Cone (cat# 46660) is required.

1. For 535 Manual Chuck machines: Install the left

hand threading kit (Cat# 96517) as per the kit instruc- tions to allow oil flow in REV. (535 Threading Machines made prior to 2001 do not require the kit).

2. For 535 Auto Chuck machines: Install the 535

Automatic Reversing Valve Kit (Cat# 12138) as per kit instructions to allow oil flow in REV. The kit includes a selector for LH or RH oil flow. See Figure 24.999-

3. Place a 5/16" pin 2" long through the holes in carriage

rest and left hand die head to retain in place (see Figure 26). Figure 26 – Retaining LH Die Head in Place

4. Threading will be done with the REV/OFF/FOR switch

in the REV position. For the Auto Chuck machines, the chuck operation will be reversed – the chuck will close down and grip pipe in REV and open in FOR. Removing Pipe from the Machine

1. Un-chuck the pipe.

For Manual Chuck machines: With the REV/OFF/ - FOR Switch in OFF position and the pipe stationary, use repeated and forceful clockwise spins of the handwheel to loosen the pipe in the chuck. Open the front chuck and the rear-centering device. Do not reach into chuck or centering device. For Auto Chuck machines: Move the REV/ OFF/ FOR (2/0/1) Switch to the REV (2) position. Press and release the foot switch, the machine will release the pipe. Move the REV/OFF/FOR Switch to the OFF (0) position. Figure 24 – LH or RH Oil Flow Selector Left hand threading requires the chuck jaws to grip the pipe during REV rotation of the machine. a. Make sure that the REV/OFF/FOR (2/0/1) switch is in the OFF (0) position and the cord is unplugged from the outlet. b. Remove rear cover. Loosen cover screws and rotate cover to remove (Figure 25A). c. Remove E-clips and rear pivot rod support (Figure 25B). d. Position the rear pivot rod support so that pin faces outward and reinstall (Figure 25B). e. Reinstall retaining E-clips and rear cover. f. With the machine completely reassembled and the chuck cover installed, place the REV/OFF/FOR in the FOR position to open the chuck in prepara- tion to left hand thread. In this configuration, the machine can be used for both Left Hand and Right Hand threading, depending on whether FOR or REV is used to open the empty chuck. g. To convert back to Right Hand threading only, turn over the rear pivot rod support so that pin faces inward and reinstall (Figure 25B). Figure 25A – Removing Rear Cover Right Hand Thread Pin Outward Pin Inward L.H. & R.H. Threading R.H. Threading Rear Pivot Rod Support Place Pin Through Holes Loosen Screws Rotate Cover Place Pin Through Holes2. Clean the chips and other debris from the chip tray. Remove or secure all loose equipment and material from the machine and stand prior to moving to prevent falling or tipping. Clean up any oil or debris on the floor.

3. Place the cutter, reamer and die head in the operating

4. Coil up the power cord and foot switch cord. If need-

ed, remove the machine from the stand.

5. Use care in lifting and moving, follow stand instruc-

tions. Be aware of the machine weight. Figure 28 – Machine prepared for Transport Maintenance Instructions WARNING Make sure that the REV/OFF/FOR Switch is in the OFF position and the machine is unplugged before performing any maintenance or making any adjust- ments. Maintain threading machine according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from elec- trical shock, entanglement and other causes. Cleaning After each use, empty the threading chips from the chip tray and wipe out any oil residue. Wipe oil off exposed sur- faces, especially areas of relative motion like the car- riage rails.

2. Firmly grip the pipe and remove from the machine.

Carefully handle the pipe as the thread may still be hot and there may be burrs or sharp edges. Inspecting Threads

1. After removing the pipe from the machine, clean the

2. Visually inspect thread. Threads should be smooth

and complete, with good form. If issues such as thread tearing, waviness, thin threads, or pipe out-of roundness are found, the thread may not seal. Refer to the Troubleshooting Chart for help in diagnosing these issues.

3. Inspect the size of the thread.

  • The preferred method of checking thread size is with a ring gauge. There are various styles of ring gauges, and their usage may differ from that shown here.
  • Screw ring gauge onto the thread hand tight.
  • Look at how far the pipe end extends through the ring gage. The end of the pipe should be flush with the side of the gauge plus or minus one turn. If thread does not gauge properly, cut off the thread, adjust the die head and cut another thread. Using a thread that does not gauge properly can cause leaks. Figure 27 – Checking Thread Size
  • If a ring gauge is not available to inspect thread size, it is possible to use a new clean fitting representa- tive of those used on the job to gauge thread size. For 2" and under NPT threads, the threads should be cut to obtain 4 to 5 turns to hand tight engage- ment with the fitting and for BSPT it should be 3 turns.

4. See Adjusting Thread Size under Die Head Set-Up

and Use heading to adjust thread size.

5. Test the piping system in accordance with local codes

and normal practice. Preparing Machine for Transport

1. Make sure that the REV/OFF/FOR switch is in the

OFF position and the cord is unplugged from the outlet.

535 Manual Chuck/535 Auto Chuck Threading Machines Figure 30 – Removing Chip Tray Replace thread cutting oil when it becomes dirty or con- taminated. To drain the oil, position a container under drain plug at end of reservoir and remove plug. Clean build up from the bottom of the reservoir. Use RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil for high quality threads and maximum die life. Reservoir in the base will hold approximately 7 qt (6,6 l) of thread cutting oil. The oil pump should self-prime if the system is clean. If it does not, this indicates that the pump is worn and should be serviced. Do not attempt to prime the pump. Priming the Model A Oil Pump Current 535 threading machines use self-priming pumps. Machines made prior to June 1, 1996 have the Model A oil pump and may require priming. RIDGID Model 535, 500 and 500A Thread ing Machines equipped with a Model A oil pump should have an oil pump priming port tube extension and a top cover access hole to allow the oil pump to be primed without removing the top cover of the machine. This reduces the risk of injury from contacting the internal gearing of the machine. If your pre-1996 machine does not have a priming port tube extension and access hole in the top cover, we strongly recommend that they be added. Contact Ridge Tool Technical Service Department at rtctechservices@emerson.com, or (800) 519-3456 regard- ing a retrofit policy. If the jaw inserts do not grip and need to be cleaned, use a wire brush to remove any build up of pipe scale, etc. Top Cover Removal/Installation The top cover is retained by fasteners at each corner. The fasteners are secured to the cover to prevent loss. Do not operate the threading machine with cover off. Lubrication On a monthly basis (or more often if needed) lubricate all exposed moving parts (such as carriage rails, cutter wheels, cutter feed screw, jaw inserts and pivot points) with a light lubricating oil. Wipe off any excess oil from exposed sur- faces. Every 2-6 months, depending on usage, remove top cover and use grease gun to apply Lithium based EP (Extreme Pressure) grease to the shaft bearing grease fittings (Figure 29). Apply a small amount of grease to the exposed drive gear teeth. Figure 29 – Lubrication Points Do not operate the threading machine with cover off. Always replace cover immediately after lubricating machine. Oil System Maintenance Slide the chip tray out. Keep oil filter screen clean for sufficient oil flow. Oil filter screen is located in the bottom of oil reservoir. Loosen the screw that secures filter to base, remove filter from oil line and clean. Do not operate machine with oil filter screen removed. WARNING Grease Fittings Drive Gear Teeth Oil Filter Screen Chip Tray999-998-086.10_REV. D
