KEEPING THE CHARGER VENTS CLEAN

The fan in this charger will perform more efficiently if the air 
vents and ports are kept clean and dust-free. Periodically 
check the air vents for dust or other debris.
To clean the vents, unplug the charger. Using a fine nylon-
bristle brush, whisk dust or debris away from the air vents 
and ports.  
The battery pack has intake and exhaust vents that should 
also be kept free of dust and debris. Clean the battery pack 
vents by using a fine nylon-bristle brush to whisk away dust 
or debris. 
When cleaning, do not allow metal to come into contact with 
any of the vents or ports of the charger or battery pack.

replacement  parts.  Use  of  any  other  parts  may 
create a hazard or cause product damage.

Do not abuse power tools. Abusive practices can damage 
tool as well as workpiece.

GENERAL

WARNING: 

Do  not  at  any  time  let  brake  fluids,  gasoline, 
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc. 
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain 
chemicals  that  can  damage,  weaken  or  destroy 
plastic.

WARNING:

Do  not  attempt  to  modify  this  tool  or  create 
accessories  not  recommended  for  use  with  this 
tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse 
and could result in a hazardous condition leading 
to possible serious personal injury.

WARNING:

BATTERIES

The battery pack for this tool is equipped with nickel-cadmium 
rechargeable batteries. Length of service from each charging 
will depend on the type of work you are doing.
RIDGID  slide  batteries  have  been  designed  to  provide 
maximum trouble free life. However, like all batteries, they 
will eventually wear out. 

Do not 

disassemble battery pack 

and  attempt  to  replace  the  batteries.  Handling  of  these 
batteries, especially when wearing rings and jewelry, could 
result in a serious burn.
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the 
following:

n

    Store  and  charge  your  batteries  in  a  cool  area. 

Temperatures below 50°F or above 100°F will shorten 
battery life.

n

    Never store batteries in a discharged condition. Recharge 

them immediately after they are discharged.

n

    All batteries gradually lose their charge. The higher the 

temperature the quicker they lose their charge. If you 
store your tool for long periods of time without using it, 
recharge the batteries every month or two. This practice 
will prolong battery life.

BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND 
PREPARATION FOR RECYCLING

WARNING: 

Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals 
with heavy duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to 
destroy  or  disassemble  battery  pack  or  remove 
any of its components. Nickel-cadmium batteries 
must  be  recycled  or  disposed  of  properly.  Also, 
never  touch  both  terminals  with  metal  objects 
and/or body parts as short circuit may result. Keep 
away from children. Failure to comply with these 
warnings could result in fire and/or serious injury.

To  preserve  natural  resources,  please 
recycle or dispose of  batteries properly.
This  product  contains  nickel-cadmium 
batteries.  Local,  state  or  federal  laws 
may prohibit disposal of nickel-cadmium 
batteries in ordinary trash.

Consult your local waste authority for information regarding 
available recycling and/or disposal options.
