Machine And Work Area Set-Up - RIDGID 122 Mode D'emploi

Clean dirt and debris from the rollers. Rollers must be
kept clean to insure proper machine performance.
3. Inspect the copper cutting and prep machine for the
following items:
• Damage or modification to the cord and plug.
• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.
• Damaged, misaligned or binding parts.
• Free movement of adjustable handle, rack and
pinion, cutter wheel and guide rollers
• Presence and readability of the warning label (see
Figure 6).
• Any other condition which may prevent safe and
normal operation.
If any problems are found, do not use the copper
cutting and prep machine until the problems have
been repaired.

4. Inspect the cutter wheel, reamer, brush(es) and guide
rollers for wear and damage. If necessary, replace prior
to using the machine. Dull, damaged or de formed
tools can lead to uneven cuts or cleaning, excessive
bur formation, and slow the cutting or cleaning process.
5. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being used
per its instructions.
6. Make sure that the ON/OFF switch is set to the OFF
(O) position. With dry hands, plug cord into properly
grounded outlet.
7. Move the ON/OFF switch into the ON (I) position
and note the direction of rotation of the rollers. If the
switch does not control the machine operation, do not
use the machine until the switch has been repaired.
The rollers should rotate counter-clockwise when
viewed from the reamer side of the machine. If the
rotation is not correct, do not use the machine until it
has been repaired.

unplug the machine.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up

Set up the Copper Cutting and Prep Machine and
work area according to these procedures to reduce
the risk of injury from electrical shock, entanglement,
crushing and other causes and prevent tool damage.
Secure machine to stable bench or stand. Properly
support tube. This will reduce the risk of falling
tube, tipping and serious injury.
Keep fingers and hands away from the rotating
ream er, rollers, wire brush, deburring disk and tube.
Reduces the risk of entanglement and cutting in -
juries.
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 copper cutting
and prep machine is not explosion proof and can
cause sparks.
• Clear, level, stable, dry place for operator. Do not
use the machine while standing in water.
• Properly grounded electrical outlet of the correct
voltage. A three-prong or GFCI outlet may not be
properly grounded. If in doubt, have outlet inspect-
ed 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 work to be done. Determine the material,
type and size of the tube. Determine the correct
equipment for the job. See "Specification" section for
tool information.
3. Confirm that the equipment to be used has been
properly inspected.
4. Place the machine on a flat, level, stable surface or a
1206 stand. If using a 1206 Stand, set up per its
instructions. Bolt the machine down using the mount-
ing holes located at the rear of the unit. Confirm that
unit is stable and secure.
