Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Work Area Safety
• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flam mable
*
WARNING
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operat- ing a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap ­ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Un modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig­erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
* The text used in the General Power Tool Safety Warnings section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable EN 62841-1 standard. This sec-
tion contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply to this tool.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energizing power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn- ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewel ry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of
tools allow you to become complacent and ignore
tool safety principles. A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power Tool Use and Care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be con­trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, chang­ing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the pow ­er tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s op er ation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main- tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Pre-Operation Inspection
WARNING
Before each use, inspect power drive and correct any problems to reduce the risk of serious injury from electric shock, crushing injuries and other causes and prevent power drive damage.
1. Make sure that the power drive is unplugged.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the power drive and support device, including the handles and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine or control from slipping from your grip.
3. Inspect the power drive and support arm for the fol­lowing:
• Damage or modification to the cord and plug.
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Damaged, misaligned or binding parts.
• Proper operation of two-step momentary contact
ON/OFF switch (Figure 5).
• Support arm gripping teeth are clean and in good
condition. Teeth can be cleaned with a wire brush.
• Presence and readability of the warning label.
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and nor-
mal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the power drive or support device until the problems have been repaired.
2. Pull Up
ON
Figure 5B – Two Step Momentary Contact ON/OFF Switch
4. Inspect the cutting edges of the dies for wear, defor­mation, chips or other issues. Dull or damaged cutting tools increase the amount of force required, produce poor quality threads and increase the risk of injury.
5. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning properly.
6. Following the Set Up and Operation instructions, check the power drive for proper operation.
• Move the F/R (Forward/Reverse) switch to the F
position. Depress and release the ON/OFF switch (Figure 5). Confirm that the power drive rotates in the clockwise direction (see Figure 6) and stops when releasing the switch.
• Repeat the process for the REVERSE (counter-
clockwise) operation. If the power drive does not rotate in the correct direction, or the ON/OFF switch does not control the machine operation, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.
NOTICE
Change position of the F/R slide switch only when the ON/OFF trigger switch is released. Allow the power drive to come to a complete stop before reversing the direction with the F/R slide switch. This will reduce the risk of power drive damage.
• Depress and hold the ON/OFF switch. Inspect the moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or any other unusual conditions. Release the ON/OFF switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.

Set-Up and Operation
600-I/690-I Power Drives
• Clear, level, stable, dry location for all equipment and operator.
• Good ventilation. Do not use extensively in small, enclosed areas.
• Properly wired electrical outlet of the correct voltage. If in doubt, have outlet inspected by a licensed elec­trician.
• Clear path to electrical outlet that does not contain any potential sources of damage for the power cord.
2. Inspect the pipe to be threaded and associated fittings and confirm that the selected power drive is a correct tool for the job. See Specifications. Do not use to thread anything other than straight stock.
WARNING
Set up and operate the power drive according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, entanglement, striking, crushing and other causes, and to help prevent power drive dam­age.
Use an appropriate support device per these instruc­tions. Sup port devices im prove control and reduce the risk of striking, crushing, and/or other injuries.
When using a support device other than the supplied support arm, the support device must react against the gear housing or fan housing. Support devices contacting the motor housing or handle may damage these parts or increase the risk of injury.
Always firmly hold the power drive when threading or backing die head off the pipe to resist use forces, regardless of support device use. This will reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries.
Do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Loose clothing can become entangled in rotating parts and cause crushing and striking injuries.
Properly support pipe. This will reduce the risk of falling pipe, tipping and serious injury.
Do not use a power drive without a properly oper­ating ON/OFF switch and F/R slide switch.
One person must control both the work process and the ON/OFF switch. Do not operate with more than one person. In case of entanglement, the oper­ator must be in control of the ON/OFF switch.
1. Check work area for:
• Adequate lighting.
• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite. If present, do not work in area until sources have been identified and corrected. The power drives are not explosion proof and can cause sparks.
Equipment for other applications can be found in the Ridge Tool catalog, online at www.RIDGID.com or by calling Ridge Tool Technical Service in the U.S. and Canada at (800) 519-3456.
3. Make sure equipment to be used has been properly inspected.
4. Properly prepare the pipe as needed. Make sure the pipe is squarely cut and deburred. Pipe cut at an angle can damage the dies while threading or cause difficulty engaging the die head.
Installing Die Heads
5. Installing 11/2" or 2" Die Head or Adapter in 690-I: a. Make sure ON/OFF switch is released and power
drive is unplugged.
b. Rotate the drive ring counter-clockwise to open
the retaining mechanism. Fully insert the die head or adapter (if required) spline end into the power drive (Figure 7).

8. Make sure that pipe to be threaded is stable and secured to prevent tipping during use. Use appropri­ate pipe stands to support pipe length.
9. Check the level of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil in the RIDGID 418 oiler. Remove the chip tray and confirm that the filter screen is clean and fully submerged in oil. Replace or add oil if necessary. Place the 418 Oiler bucket under the pipe end to be threaded.
Resisting Threading Forces
Using the supplied support arm:
a. Always use the supplied support arm (601 or 602
support arm for 600-I, 691 or 692 support arm for 690-I) unless it can’t be used because of space or other constraints. The support arm clamps to the pipe and helps to resist the threading forces.
b. Position the support arm on pipe, so end of support
arm aligns with end of pipe and top of support arm is horizontal (Figure 11). This properly places the support arm for threading and prevents thread­ing oil from entering the motor (Figure 12).
c. Make sure that the support arm jaws are squarely
aligned with the pipe and securely tighten the sup­port arm.

c. Do not place the power drive motor or handle
against adjacent structural members to react threading forces, as this may cause power drive damage.
d. Keep power drive against the structural member
and do not place fingers or hands between the power drive and the structural member. When backing die head off thread, always firmly hold the power drive to resist forces from breaking the thread chips. These steps will reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries. The ON/OFF switch can be released at any time to shut OFF the power drive.
Always firmly hold the power drive when threading or backing die head off pipe to resist forces, regardless of support device use. This will reduce the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries. The ON/OFF switch can be released at any time to shut off the power drive.
Threading
10. With dry hands, plug in the power drive.
11. Position the die head over the pipe end and sup­port the power drive as directed in the Resisting Threading Forces Section.
When support arm can’t be used: When threading pipe in place or similar application, the
support arm may not be able to be used because of space constraints.
a. If possible remove the pipe and thread in a vise. If
this cannot be done, other support devices must be used to help resist threading forces, such as plac­ing the power drive gear or fan housing against an adjacent structural member (examples include walls, beams and joists). This requires that the pipe and surroundings be able to withstand the weight of the tool and the threading forces. It may be necessary to add temporary or permanent pipe supports or structural elements.
b. For right hand threads, die head will rotate clock-
wise (looking at the face of the Die Head). Forces developed by the threading torque will be in the opposite or counter-clockwise direction. Rotation and force will be reversed for left hand threads. Make sure that the support device is set up to properly absorb the threading force.
Figure 13 – Starting the Thread
12. Simultaneously actuate the ON/OFF switch and push against the Die Head cover plate with the palm of free hand to start the thread. Do not wear gloves, jewelry or use a rag while pushing on the cover plate – this increases the risk of entanglement and injury. Once the dies engage the pipe, threads will be cut as the dies pull themselves onto the end of the pipe.
Always firmly hold the power drive handle to resist the handle forces. Support devices can slip and allow the

power drive to move. The ON/OFF switch can be released at any time to shut off the power drive.
13. Stop pushing on cover plate and use oiler to apply a generous quantity of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil to the area being threaded. This will lower threading torque, improve thread quality and increase die life.
Figure 14 – Threading Pipe
14. Depress ON/OFF switch until end of the pipe is even with edge of the dies and release the switch. Let the power drive come to a complete stop.
16. Release the switch and remove the power drive and Die Head from the pipe.
17. With dry hands unplug the power drive.
18. Wipe oil and debris off the threads and out of the die head, taking care not to cut yourself on sharp debris or edges. Clean up any oil spills in the work area.
Inspecting Threads
1. Remove any oil, chips or debris from the thread.
2. Visually inspect thread. Threads should be smooth and complete, with good form. If issues such as thread tearing, thin threads, or pipe out-of-round­ness are observed, the thread may not seal when made up. Refer to the “Troubleshooting” chart for help in diagnosing these issues.
3. Inspect the size of the thread. The preferred method of checking thread size is with a ring gauge. There are various styles of ring gauges, and their usage may dif­fer from that shown in Figure 16.
• Screw ring gauge onto the thread hand tight.
• Look at how far the pipe end extends through the ring
gage. The end of the pipe should be flush with the side of the gauge plus or minus one turn. If thread does not gauge properly, cut off the thread, adjust the die head and cut another thread. Using a thread that does not gauge properly can cause leaks.
Figure 15 – Pipe Even with Edge of Dies
15. Reverse the F/R slide switch and actuate the ON/OFF switch to remove Die Head from the threaded pipe. Hold onto the power drive handle firmly to resist the handle forces developed while backing off the Die Head.
NOTICE
Change position of the F/R slide switch only when the ON/OFF switch is re leased. Allow the power drive to come to a complete stop before reversing the direction with the F/R slide switch. This will reduce the risk of power drive damage.

• If a ring gauge is not available to inspect thread size, it is possible to use a new clean fitting repre­sentative of those used on the job to gauge thread size. For 2" and under NPT threads, the threads should be cut to obtain 4 to 5 turns to hand tight engagement with the fitting and for 2" and under BSPT threads it should be 3 turns.
