MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
When servicing use only identical RIDGID
®
replacement parts. Use of any other parts can
create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1 along with
hearing protection. Failure to do so could result
in objects being thrown into your eyes and other
possible serious injuries.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove
the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
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. Lithium-ion and 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.

DRIVING OR REMOVING SCREWS
See Figures 6 - 7, page 11.
Place the direction of rotation selector in the correct
position for the operation.
Hold the impact driver with one hand.
Place the bit on the screw head and slowly depress the
switch trigger. Start the bit slowly for more control.
As screw is driven, impacting will begin.
Avoid running the driver at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the driver to become overheated. If this occurs, cool
the driver by running it without a load and at full speed.
WARNING:
Do not drive a screw where there is likely to be
hidden wiring behind the surface. Contact with a
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the
tool “live” and possibly shock the operator. If you
must drive a screw where hidden wire may be
present, always hold tool by insulated gripping
surfaces (handle) when performing the operation to
prevent a shock to the operator, as seen in figure 6.
ELECTRIC BRAKE
The electric brake will stop the bit rotation after the operator
releases the switch trigger.
