General Safety Information

WARNINGRead and understand all instructions. Failure to fol-low all instructions listed below may result inelectric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutteredbenches and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-spheres, such as in the presence of flammableliquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparkswhich may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors awaywhile operating a power tool. Distractions cancause you to lose control.

4. Do not let visitors contact the tool or extensioncord. Such preventative measures reduce the risk ofinjury.

Electrical Safety

1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,properly installed and grounded in accordancewith all codes and ordinances. Never remove thegrounding prong or modify the plug in any way.Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qual-ified electrician if you are in doubt as to whetherthe outlet is properly grounded. If the tools shouldelectrically malfunction or break down, groundingprovides a low resistance path to carry electricityaway from the user.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces suchas pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. Thereis an increased risk of electrical shock if your body isgrounded.

3. Dont expose power tools to rain or wet condi-tions. Water entering a power tool will increase therisk of electrical shock.

4. Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry thetools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cordaway from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Replace damaged cords immediately. Damagedcords increase the risk of electrical shock.

5. When operating a power tool outside, use an out-door extension cord marked W-A or W. Thesecords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk ofelectrical shock.

6. Connect the tool to an AC power supply thatmatches the name plate specifications. Incorrectvoltage supply can cause electrical shock or burns.

7. Use only three-wire extension cords which havethree-prong grounding plugs and three-pole re-ceptacles which accept the machine plug. Use ofother extension cords will not ground the tool and in-crease the risk of electrical shock.

8. Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficientconductor size will cause excessive voltage drop,loss of power and overheating.

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and usecommon sense when operating a power tool. Donot use tool while tired or under the influence ofdrugs, alcohol, or medications. A moment of inat-tention while operating power tools may result inserious personal injury.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing orjewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, cloth-ing, and gloves away from moving parts. Looseclothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in movingparts.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFFbefore plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger onthe switch or plugging tools in that have the switch ONinvites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turningthe tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached toa rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enablesbetter control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, orhearing protection must be used for appropriate con-ditions.

Tool Use and Care

1. Use clamp or other practical way to secure andsupport the workpiece to a stable platform. Holdingthe work by hand or against your body is unstable andmay lead to loss of control.

2. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your ap-plication. The correct tool will do the job better andsafer at the rate for which it is designed.

3. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON orOFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with theswitch is dangerous and must be repaired.

4. Disconnect plug from the power source beforemaking any adjustments, changing accessories,or storing the tool. Such preventive safety mea-sures reduce risk of starting tool accidentally.

5. Store idle tools out of the reach of children andother untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in thehands of untrained users.

6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharpand clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier tocontrol.

7. Check for misalignment or binding of movingparts, breakage of parts, and any other conditionthat may affect the tools operation. If damaged,have the tool serviced before using. Many accidentsare caused by poorly maintained tools.

8. Use only accessories that are recommended bythe manufacturer for your model. Accessories thatmay be suitable for one tool may become hazardouswhen used on another tool.

9. Inspect tool and extension cords periodically andreplace if damaged. Damaged cords increase therisk of electrical shock.

10. Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil andgrease. This allows for better control of the tool.

11. Store tools in dry place. Such measures reducethe risk of electrical shock.

Service

1. Tool service must be performed only by quali-fied repair personnel. Service or maintenanceperformed by unqualified repair personnel could resultin injury.

2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-ment parts. Follow instructions in the MaintenanceSection of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts orfailure to follow maintenance instructions may createa risk of electrical shock or injury.

3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changingaccessories. Accidents are caused by poorly main-tained tools.

Specific Safety InformationThe Operators Manual contains specific safety infor-mation and instructions for your protection against seriousinjuries including:

Loss of fingers, hands, arms or other body parts ifclothing or gloves get caught in moving parts;

Electrical shock or burns from contact with wires,motor or other power drive parts;

Impact injuries, including broken bones if machinetips over or workpiece falls;

Eye injuries, including being blinded by the workpieceor workpiece chips.

Read and follow safety labels on machine! Know the location and functions

of all controls before using this tool.

Foot Switch Safety

The foot switch is for your safety. It lets you SHUTOFF the motor by removing your foot. If clothingshould become caught in the machine, it will con-tinue to wind up, pulling you into the machine.Because the machine has high torque, the clothing it-self can bind around your arm or other body partswith enough force to crush or break bones.

Machine Set-Up Performance TipsSimplicity of design and operation have made theRIDGID No. 1224 Threading Machine easy to set up anduse. Following the points below will provide the bestperformance.1. Use sharp dies at all times. Dull dies require more

power from motor and produce poor threads.2. Always use RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil. Specially

formulated for thread cutting, it increases die life andimproves thread quality.

3. Support long lengths of pipe with a RIDGID PipeStand.

4. Grease main shaft bearings every six months ormore often if the unit is subject to hard usage. (Onegrease fitting on each end of base; under top cover).Use a good grade of cup grease. (Figure 31)

5. RIDGID 1224 Machines are furnished with 120 or 240volt, 60 Hz Motors, single-phase only. Note colorcoding of wires. Black: line; white: neutral; Green:ground. RIDGID Model No. 1224 machines are alsofurnished with 240, 220 or 115 volt, 50 Hz motors, sin-gle-phase only. Note color coding of wires. Brown:line; blue: neutral; green/yellow: earth.

6. Plug cord into any outlet which carries the samevoltage as the motor (check nameplate). Be surethe motor and power supply are the same. Fifteenfeet of oil resisting cord is furnished with the ma-chine. Smaller gauge extension cords will cause avoltage drop and prevent efficient operation. Useonly approved three conductor extension cords.

NOTE! See Electrical Safety Section for additional pre-cautions and instructions.

7. Use only 15 ampere fuses minimum for 115V and120V and 10 ampere fuses minimum for 220V and240V.

Machine Bench/StandMounting and TransportingThe RIDGID Model No. 1224 Pipe and Bolt ThreadingMachine is designed to be bench or stand mounted.Three stands are available including a four leg stand withtray and a two wheel stand with enclosed cabinet and atwo wheel stand with tray.
