4. Inspect the attachments:
•
Closel
y inspect all attachments for any
cracked, broken, worn, missing, mis-
aligned or binding parts or any other
sign of damage that may prevent prop-
er and safe operation. Damaged parts
can cause the attachment to make
incorrect pressed connections or fail
during use and cause serious injury
or property damage. If any damage is
found, the attachment should be dis-
carded and replaced.
Always discard the com-
plete pressing attachment. Never re-
place individual components or ex-
change parts between assemblies.
Failure to replace the entire assembly
may result in component failure and
serious injury.
- Sound and vibration emissions may vary due to your
location and specific use of these tools.
- Daily exposure levels for sound and vibration need
to be evaluated for each application and appropriate
safety measures taken when needed. Evaluation of
exposure levels should consider the time a tool is
switched OFF and not in use. This may significantly
reduce the exposure level over the total working pe-
riod.

design improvements occur.
Standard Equipment
Refer to the RIDGID catalog for details on
equipment supplied with specific tool cata-
log numbers.
Only use RIDGID Press Tools
and RIDGID press tool attachments when
specified by the fitting manufacturer for use
with their system. Use of incorrect press tools
and/or attachments for a system can cause
system leaks, damage the press tool or
attachment, void warranties or cause severe
personal injury.
Selection of a appropriate materi-
als and joining methods is the responsibil-
ity of the system designer and/or installer.
Before any installation is attempted, careful
evaluation of the specific service environ-
ment, including chemical environment and
service temperature, should be completed.
Consult Press Fitting System manufacturer
for selection information.
Contact the fitting manufacturer for specific
information on their system, including com-
patible tubing, materials, installation instruc-
tions, minimum distance between fittings,
seal material, inspection, testing, etc. Incor-
rect installation can cause system leaks and
extensive property damage.
