WARNING
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
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!
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
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and by-standers away while oper-
ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
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.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
control.
* The text used in the General Power Tool Safety Warnings section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA 62841-1 standard. This
section 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.

RP 350/RP 351 Press Tools
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces
the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo -
ment of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• 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.
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
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.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
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, clothing, and gloves 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 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 was
designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it
ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be con-
• 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.
Battery Tool Use And Care
• Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with
another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fire.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to
another. Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fire.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact acciden tally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts

Failure to replace the entire pressing attachment may
result in component failure and serious injury.
Description
The RIDGID®RP 350 and RP 351 Press Tools, when used
with ap propriate attachments, are designed to mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create a water-tight and permanent 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 forward and applying force to the attachment, pressing the fitting. The press cycle takes approximately 4 seconds.
Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automatically continue until completion, even if the run switch is
released.
• Large forces are generated during product use that
can break or throw parts and cause injury. Stand
clear during use and wear appropriate protective equipment, including eye protection.

• Excessive misalignment of the tubes. A slight
amount of misalignment at a press connection is
considered normal.
• Incorrect attachment alignment with the fitting con-
tour. Distorted or deformed fitting.
• Any other issues per the fitting manufacturer. This
could include the removal of a control ring or decal
(used to indicate the connection has not yet been
pressed).
If any issues are found, remove fitting and install a
new press connection.
2. Test the press connection in accordance with connector manufacturer instructions, normal practice and
applicable codes.

1. Download the appropriate RIDGID
Link app
to your device by going to the Google Play
Store or the Apple App Store.
2. When the tool is ON, a Bluetooth wireless
technology equipped device can find and pair
with the press tool. In the Bluetooth settings of
your device, select desired RIDGID tool.
Refer to your device instructions for specific
information on how to connect via Bluetooth
wireless technology. Once connected, the
green-blue-blue-blue tool status lights will be
lit.
After the initial pairing, most devices will
automati-cally connect to the Tools when the
Bluetooth wireless technology is active and in
range and if device settings are configured to
do so. Press tools should be less than 33 ft.
(10 m) from the device to be detected. Any
obstacle between the tool and device can
reduce the operational range.
3. Follow the app instructions for proper use.
The mode of operation can be changed via
app. The app also allows monitoring of tool
cycles.
4. The wireless data transfer turns OFF when
the press tool is switched OFF. Turn
Bluetooth wireless device OFF to reduce
device battery drain.
Maintenance Instructions
WARNING
Make sure tool is switched OFF and battery or AC
Adapter is removed from tool before performing
maintenance or making any adjustment.
Cleaning And Lubrication
1. Wipe the tool clean daily with a clean dry cloth.
2. Inspect the attachment mounting pin and lubricate the
pin with silicone lubricant as needed.

moderate finger effort required.
Service And Repair

must be performed by a RIDGID Independent Press Tool
Service Center.

Cold Weather Operation
As temperature drops, hydraulic fluid thickens and battery
performance degrades. To reduce the risk of improper
operation, the RP 350 and RP 351 will not operate outside
of the specification temperature range as indicated by
the tool status lights (Figure 5).
When ambient conditions are outside the specification
temperature range, keep the tool and batteries in a conditioned space until ready to use.
Storage
Remove battery or AC Adapter from the press tool. Store
press tool and battery in case. Avoid storing in extreme
heat or cold. The tool will not turn ON if the tool is outside
the specification range. This will be indicated by the tool
status lights. (See Figure 5)
