General Power Tool Safety Warnings\*

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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 flam mable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away 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. Un modified 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 jewel ry. 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 was designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be con-

trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack 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 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^ (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 im - properly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

Description

The RIDGID® RP 350 and RP 351 Press Tools, when used with ap appropriate attachments, are designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent seal, such as for plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration 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 4 seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the run switch is released.

The tool includes a second operating mode ("Control Mode") that can be turned on using the RIDGID Link App. Control Mode allows the fitting to be engaged prior to

pressing to allow confirmation of proper alignment of the attachment, fitting and tube.

The Tool Status Lights indicate things such as tool status, battery status, maintenance required, or improper temperature. A work light turns ON when the run switch is depressed to illuminate the work area. The head can be rotated 360° for better access in tight spaces.

The tools are supplied with fabric loops that can be used with appropriate attachments such as shoulder straps or tie off lines.

Press tools should be less than 33 ft. (10 m) from the device to be detected. Any obstacle between the tool and device can reduce the operational range.

1. Follow the app instructions for proper use. The mode of operation can be changed via app. The app also allows monitoring of tool cycles.

2. The wireless data transfer turns OFF when the press tool is switched OFF. Turn Bluetooth wireless device OFF to reduce device battery drain.

Cold Weather Operation

As temperature drops, hydraulic fluid thickens and battery performance degrades. To reduce the risk of improper operation, the RP 350 and RP 351 will not operate outside of the specification temperature range as indicated by the tool status lights (Figure 5).

When ambient conditions are outside the specification temperature range, keep the tool and batteries in a conditioned space until ready to use.

Storage

Remove battery or AC Adapter from the press tool. Store press tool and battery in case. Avoid storing in extreme heat or cold. The tool will not turn ON if the tool is outside the specification range. This will be indicated by the tool status lights. (See Figure 5)

⚠ WARNING Store tool in a dry, secured, locked area that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with the press tool. The tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintenance Instructions

WARNING

Make sure tool is switched OFF and battery or AC Adapter is removed from tool before performing maintenance or making any adjustment.

Cleaning And Lubrication

1. Wipe the tool clean daily with a clean dry cloth.
2. Inspect the attachment mounting pin and lubricate the pin with silicone lubricant as needed.
3. Check return springs in attachments with each use. Attachments should open and close freely with only moderate finger effort required.
