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.

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.

Use only three-wire extension cords which havethree-prong grounding plugs and three-pole recep-tacles which accept the tools plug. Use of otherextension cords will not ground the tool and increasethe risk of electrical shock.

Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insuf-ficient conductor size will cause excessive voltagedrop and loss of power.

Keep all electric connections dry and off theground. Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands.Reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

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 in seri-ous personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing orjewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

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

Remove adjusting keys before turning the toolON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotat-ing part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

General Safety InformationWARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure

to follow all instructions listed below mayresult in electric shock, fire, and/or seriouspersonal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmos-

pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liq-uids, gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which mayignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away whileoperating a tool. Distractions can cause you to losecontrol.

Keep floors dry and free of slippery materialssuch as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.

Guard or barricade the area when work pieceextends beyond machine. A guard or barricade thatprovides a minimum of three (3) feet clearance aroundthe work piece will reduce the risk of entanglement.

Electrical Safety

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. Donot use any adapter plugs. Check with a quali-fied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether theoutlet is properly grounded. If the tool should elec-trically malfunction or break down, grounding pro-vides a low resistance path to carry electricity awayfrom the user.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. Thereis an increased risk of electrical shock if your body isgrounded.

Dont expose electrical tools to rain or wet condi-tions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk ofelectrical shock.

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enablesbetter control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearingprotection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Tool Use and Care

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

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

Store idle tools out of the reach of children andother untrained persons. Tools are dangerous inthe hands of untrained users.

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

Use only accessories that are recommended foryour tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one toolmay become hazardous when used on another tool.

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

Service

Tool service must be performed only by qualifiedrepair personnel. Service or maintenance performedby unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.

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 create arisk of electrical shock or injury.

Foot Switch SafetyUsing a threading machine without a foot switchincreases the risk of serious injury. A foot switchprovides better control by letting you shut off themotor by removing your foot. If clothing shouldbecome caught in the machine, it will continue towind up, pulling you into the machine. Because themachine has high torque, the clothing itself can bindaround your arm or other body parts with enoughforce to crush or break bones.

Machine Safety

Threading Machine is made to thread and cutpipe or bolt and to power roll grooving equip-ment. Follow instructions on proper use of thismachine. Do not use for other purposes suchas drilling holes or turning winches. Other uses ormodifying this power drive for other applications mayincrease the risk of serious injury.

Secure machine to bench or stand. Support longheavy pipe with pipe supports. This practice willprevent tipping.

Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper-ating machine. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned.Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothingcan be caught by the pipe or machine resulting inentanglement and serious injury.

Operate machine from side with REV/OFF/FORswitch. Eliminates need to reach over the machine.

Do not use this machine if the foot switch is bro-ken or missing. Foot switch is a safety device toprevent serious injury.

Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings.Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads orscrewing on fittings. Allow the machine to come toa complete stop before touching the pipe ormachine chucks. This practice will prevent entan-glement and serious injury.

Do not use this machine to make or break fittings.This practice is not an intended use of the machine andcan result in serious injury.

Tighten chuck handwheel and engage rear cen-tering device on the pipe before turning on themachine. Prevents oscillation of the pipe.

One set of dies is required for eachof the following pipe size ranges: (1/8), (1/4 and 3/8), (1/2and 3/4) and (1 through 2). Bolt threading requires aseparate set of of dies for each bolt size.1. Depress handle so that camplate rests (Figure 8

Model 816/817 Die Head) against the stop. (Asshown).

2. Lay the Die Head down flat on a table or benchwith the numbers facing up.

3. Pull up on the plunger knob and push the handle allthe way to the left.

4. Select the correct dies for the size desired. (Sizemarked on the back end or face of the dies.)

5. Numbers on the Dies must correspond with those onthe Die Head Slots. Insert Dies to the line marked onthe Dies numbered edge up.

6. Rotate the handle back to the right so that the plungerknob pops back down flush against the Die Head.

7. To set or adjust for desired depth of cut, loosenthe screw for the desired position block size, movethe block to the right to make it Under-Size and tothe left to make it Over- Sized. When setting blocksfor new dies start with the position block on themiddle mark and adjust from there.

Figure 11 Semi-Automatic Die Head


Checking Thread Length

(Figure 12)1. Thread is cut to proper length when end of pipe is

flush with edge of dies (Figure 12).2. Die head is adjustable to obtain proper thread diam-

eter. If possible, threads should be checked with athread ring gage (Figure 12). A proper thread is cutwhen end of pipe is plus or minus one turn of beingflush with face of ring gage.

Figure 12 Checking Thread Length

NOTE! If a ring gage is not available, a fitting can beused. This fitting should be representative ofthose being used on the job. The pipe threadshould be cut to obtain 2 or 3 turns hand tightengagement with fitting. If pipe thread is not prop-er diameter the index line should be moved in thedirection of the OVER or UNDER size mark onsize bar. (Refer to Installing Dies In Die Heads).

Priming Oil Pump

Current 535 Machines have a self-priming gerotor-typepump. Machines made prior to June 1, 1996 have aModel A vane-type pump that may require priming.

WARNINGAll 535 Threading Machines made prior to June 1, 1996should have a tube extension on the oil pump primingport, as well as a top cover access hole, so the pump canbe primed without removing the top cover of the machine.This will prevent the operator from contacting the internalgearing of the machine which could result in serious injury.If your older-style machine has a Model A Vane-Type pumpand does not have a priming port, contact the Ridge ToolCompany at 1-800-519-3456 or e-mail [email protected] regarding a retrofit policy.
