Copper Cutting and Prep Machines
Safety
• Do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves
and jackets buttoned. Clothing can be caught in
rotating rollers or tools and cause crushing injuries.
• Secure machine to stable bench or stand. Properly
support the tubes. This reduces the risk of falling
tube, tipping and serious injury.
• Keep fingers and hands away from the rotating
rollers, reamer, wire brushes, deburring disk and
tube. This reduces the risk of entanglement and cut-
ting injuries.
• Do not cut visibly bent tubing or tubing with fit-
tings attached. Reduces the risk of excessive vibra-
tion and loss of control of the machine and/or tubing.
• Only use the machines to cut, clean and deburr
copper or stainless steel tubing as directed in
this manual. Do not use for other purposes or modi-
fy. Other uses or modifying this machine for other
applications may increase the risk of serious injury.
• Read and understand the instructions and warn-
ings for all equipment and material being used
before operating the machines. Failure to follow all
instructions and warnings may result in property dam-
age or serious personal injury.

Description, Specifications and

Standard Equipment

Description
The RIDGID
Prep Machines are designed to cut, clean and deburr cop-
per tubing and fittings (Types K, L and M). These can also
be used to cut and deburr stainless steel tubing with a
maximum wall thickness of .065" (1.65 mm) with a sepa-
rate cutter wheel.
Cutting is performed by turning the tubing with motor-driv-
en rollers while a cutter wheel is manually actuated by a
rack and pinion. An adjustable cutting handle accommo-
dates different diameter tubes and a scale is included for
tube measurement. Reamer removes burrs from the inside
of the tubing while the brush cleans the external surface in
preparation for joining. The machine can also clean the
inside of fittings using individually sized brushes that are
attached to the quick-change adapter. Deburring disk
cleans burrs from the outside surface of the tubing.
The RIDGID
Prep Machines are not designed for use with pipe.
