Personal Safety

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 so-

urce and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the

tool. C arrying power tools with your finger on the s-

witch 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 pe-

rsonal 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 jewe-

lry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair c-

an be caught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust e-

xtraction and collection facilities, ensure these are

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 is designed.

Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it

ON andOFF. Any power tool that cannot be control-

led with the switch is dangerous and must be re-

paired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

battery pack from the power tool before making an-

y adjustments, changing accessories, or storing po-

wer 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. Po-

wer tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained 

users.

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bin-

ding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any ot-

her condition that may affect the power tool’s oper

ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired be-

fore use. Many accidents are caused by poorly mai-

ntained power tools.

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maint-

ained 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 acc-

ount the working conditions and the work to be perf-

ormed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous sit-

uation.

Battery Tool Use And Care

Recharge only with the charger specified by the m-

anufacturer. 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 b-

attery packs. Use of any other battery packs may c-

reate 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, na-

ils, screws or other small metal objects that can ma-

ke a connection from one terminal to another. Short-

ing the battery terminals together may cause burns

or a fire.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected fro-

m the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden tally

occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, ad-

ditionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

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 main-

tained.

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.

Description, Specifications

And Standard Equipment

Description

The RIDGID

® 

Models and RE 60 Electrical Tools are 

electro-hydraulic tools, which when used with appro-

priate interchangeable heads; perform a variety of func-

tions, such as crimping electrical compression connections,

cutting electrical cables and hole punching operations.
When operated, an internal electric motor powers a

hydraulic pump which supplies fluid to the cylinder of the

tool, moving the ram forward and applying force to spe-

cially designed interchangeable heads.
The tools are equipped with the RIDGID

®

QuickConnect

System (QCS) for installing the various interchangeable

heads. This also allows interchangeable heads to be

rotated 360° for better access in tight spaces.
The tools come with two (2) fabric loops that can be

used with appropriate attachments such as shoulder

straps or tie off lines.
The tools are equipped with a bright LED work light that

lights up when the trigger is pulled, this allows the user to

easily illuminate the work area.
The tool LED display indicates the tool’s status (tool

ON/OFF, temperature out of range, service required.)

Specific Safety Information

WARNING

This section contains important safety information that is spe

cific to this tool.
Read these precautions carefully before using the electrical 

tool  to  reduce  the  risk  of  electrical shock or serious pers-

onal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

A compartment in the tool carrying case is included to keep

Electrical Tool Safety

Use the Electrical Tool only with RIDGID

® 

Quick Co-

nnect System (QCS) interchangeable heads (cutt-

ing head, crimping head, punching head, etc.). U-

sing the tool for other applications may damage the

electrical tool, damage the head and/or cause pe-

rsonal injury.

Do Not Modify Tool or Heads. Modifying the Tool or

an break during use. Never replace individual com-

ponents. Discard damaged heads to reduce the risk

of injury.

Keep your fingers and hands away from the inter c-

hangeable head during the operating cycle. Your fi-

ngers or hands can be crushed, fractured or amput-

ated if they become caught in the head or between

these components and any other object.

This tool is not insulated for use on or near energize-

d conductors. Use of this tool near energized cond-

uctors may lead to electrical shock, causing severe

injury or death.

Large forces are generated during use that can br-

eak or throw parts and cause injury. Keep allunnec-

essary personnel away from work area. Stand clear

during use and wear appropriate protective equipm-

ent, including eye protection.
