Transport and Handling
Note: Two people are required to lift machines. Lift the machine using the hand
holds provided. The machine may be bench mounted or attached to one of the
RIDGID stands as illustrated (see page 2). Alternatively, four equal lengths of pipe
can be fitted into the sockets provided (300 Compact, 1233 only).
Machine Set-Up

modified and/or used for any application other than for which it was intended
including making-up or breaking apart of fittings, applying hemp or powering other
equipment. Place machine away from doors or passageways and ensure that the
total work area can be viewed from the operating position. Use barriers to keep
people away from the rotating pipe. Do not use machine in wet or humid condi-
tions. Check that machine voltage is the same as the power supply. Ensure
footswitch operates correctly and switch is in "O" position before connecting to
power supply. The footswitch allows full control of the machine which will only
operate when the pedal is depressed. For your safety ensure that the footswitch
operates freely and position it so that all controls can be easily reached. Use a pipe
support if the pipe extends more than 1 m. from the rear chuck. Add pipe supports
for longer lengths (see fig. 1).

Operation

RIDGID threading machines have been designed for ease of use (see fig. 2). For
explanation of switch positions see fig 13.
IMPORTANT. Release foot from footswitch and allow machine chuck to come to
rest before touching chuck handwheel, pipe or dies. Ensure switch is in "0" position
before making any adjustments
Chuck (A): Close chuck by turning handwheel in a counter clockwise direction.
Check pipe is centered and tighten jaws with a repeated spin of the handwheel.
535
The RIDGID model 535A is equipped with an automatic chuck. Place the pipe in the
535-2B*
chuck, switch to Forward direction and press on the footswitch. The pipe will be
gripped and centered. If the pipe is not centered switch to reverse to release the
1/8"-2"
pipe and again switch to Forward.
1/4"-2" (M52)
Keep hands away from chuck jaws when machine is connected to a power
supply. Closing jaws can crush fingers.
Cutter (B): Set the cutter wheel at the point to be cut and feed the wheel into the
1/8"-2"
pipe by rotating the handle clockwise (fig. 3) whilst rotating the pipe.
1/4"-1"
1/4"-2"
Reamer (C): Ream the pipe by applying pressure to handwheel (fig. 4).

Diehead (D): Install correct dies. Set diehead (see fig. 5). With pipe rotating, feed
1.5 kW
carriage to bring dies into contact with the pipe. Continue to apply pressure to the
handwheel until the dies are engaged. The diehead will open automatically at the
end of the thread.
Installing dies in diehead.
Fully open diehead (see fig. 6).
Note: Ensure trigger has been disengaged (815A).
Insert dies with same number as shown on diehead into slots to "insert to line"
mark A (811A, 815A) or until detent (B) engages die (928). Rotate cam to align size
required with the mark.

Oiling System
-
High quality thread cutting fluid is essential for the best threads and will help to
x*
give the maximum die life. We recommend that only RIDGID thread cutting fluid be
used to protect the working of the machine. Keep oil filter screen in reservoir clean.

Change oil when it is dirty or contaminated. RIDGID mineral and synthetic oil is

water washable. Folow local regulations concerning flushing of water installations

as soon as possible after completion. Check oil reservoir and add oil to cover filter

screen (see fig. 8). Oil flow can be adjusted by the control valve on the carriage
(see fig. 9), (No adjustment on 300).
Note: 400 Volt models of 535 have an oil flow control to direct oil to the diehead
when operating in reverse (See Fig. 14).

Maintenance

Oil bearings every 6 months (see fig.10). Clean jaw insert teeth with a wire brush.
Replace complete set of inserts when they become worn (see fig. 11). Check
brushes every 6 months for wear (see fig. 12A) and replace when worn to less than
12 mm. For all other service and maintenance take machine to a RIDGID authorised
service center.
This machine is supplied with RIDGID water-washable
mineral thread cutting oil designed to give optimal
threads and prolong die life. Before use, check
your local regulations, which may prohibit the use
of mineral oil products on certain installations.
