Description
The RIDGID
®
RP 350 and RP 351 Press Tools, when used
with ap propriate attachments, are designed to mechani-
cally press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and per-
manent seal, such as for plumbing, heating, air conditioning,
and refrigeration applications. Attachments are also available
for other uses.
When the run switch on the press tool is depressed, an
internal electric motor powers a hydraulic pump which
sends fluid into the cylinder of the tool, moving the ram for-
ward and applying force to the attachment, pressing the fit-
ting. The press cycle takes approximately 4 seconds.
Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automat-
ically continue until completion, even if the run switch is
released.
The tool includes a second operating mode (“Control
Mode”) that can be turned on using the RIDGID Link App.
Control Mode allows the fitting to be engaged prior to
eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected
from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may
exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion
or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temper-
ature above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature
range specified in the instructions. Charging im -
properly or at temperatures outside the specified range
may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.
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
maintained.
Specific Safety Information
WARNING
This section contains important safety information
that is specific to this tool.
Read these precautions carefully before using the
press tools to reduce the risk of electrical shock, or
other serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
A compartment in the tool carrying case is included to

Press Tool Safety
• Keep your fingers and hands away from pressing
attachments during press cycle. Your fingers or hands
can be crushed, fractured or amputated if they become
caught between the attachment or between these com-
ponents and any other object.
• Never attempt to repair damaged pressing attach-
ments (jaws, press ring, actuator, etc.). Discard the
entire damaged attachment. An attachment that has
been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any manner
can shatter during pressing resulting in serious injury.
Failure to replace the entire pressing attachment may
result in component failure and serious injury.
• Large forces are generated during product use that
can break or throw parts and cause injury. Stand
clear during use and wear appropriate protective equip-
ment, including eye protection.
