NOTE! RIDGID jaw sets are offered in two “series”
• Standard Series
• Compact Series
These jaw sets are not interchangeable. That is,
only standard series jaw sets will work with
standard series tools (RP 330, 320-E, CT-400).
Similarly, only compact series jaw sets will work
with the Compact 100-B Pressing Tool. Please
refer to the compact tool’s operator's manuals
for further information on these tools and jaws.
Selection of appropriate materials and joining
methods is the responsibility of the system designer
and/or installer. Before any installation is attempted, care-
ful evaluation of the specific service environment, includ-
ing chemical environment and service temperature, should
be completed. Consult Press Fitting System manufactur-
er for selection information.
Tool Inspection
WARNING
Daily before use, inspect your pressing tool and
correct any problems to reduce the risk of serious
injury from electric shock, crushing injures, attach-
ment failure and other causes, and prevent tool
damage.
1. Make sure that the pressing tool is unplugged or the
battery is removed. If a corded tool, inspect the power
cord and plug for damage or modifications. If a battery
tool, inspect the battery for damage. If any damage or
modifications are found, do not use the tool until the
cord or battery has been properly repaired or re-
placed.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the equipment,
especially the handles and controls. This helps to
prevent the machine or controls from slipping from
your grip.
3. Inspect the pressing tool for any broken, worn, miss-
ing, mis-aligned or binding parts or any other condition
which may prevent safe and normal operation. Make
sure that the attachment mounting pin moves smooth-
ly between the fully open and full closed position
and locks into each. Confirm that the switch moves
freely and does not bind or stick. If any problems
are found, do not use machine until problems have
been repaired.
cate problems such as improper temperature, open jaw
mounting pin or maintenance required.
