Maintenance - RIDGID E Série Manuel D'utilisation

OPERATION
NOTICE:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the chuck,
square head, or coupler to come to a complete
stop before changing the direction of rotation.
To stop the tool, release the switch trigger and allow the tool
to come to a complete stop.
NOTE: The tool will not run unless the direction of rotation
selector is pushed fully to the left or right.
Avoid running the tool at low speeds for extended periods
of time. Running at low speeds under constant usage may
cause the tool to become overheated. If this occurs, cool the
tool by running it without a load and at full speed.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts can create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
To avoid serious personal injury, always remove
the battery pack from the tool when cleaning or
performing any maintenance.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
REPLACING THE DRIVE GEAR COVER
See Figure 5, page 11.
If over time you notice the noise of the tool getting louder
than usual, check the condition of the drive gear cover. If the
cap is excessively damaged so that the metal gear is clearly
visible, remove it and replace with the spare cap included.
NOTE: To reduce the noise level of the tool, do not operate
without the drive gear cover installed.
NOTE: FIGURES (ILLUSTRATIONS) START ON PAGE 11
AFTER FRENCH AND SPANISH LANGUAGE SECTIONS.
CHANGING HEADS
See Figure 4, page 11.
 Remove the battery pack from the power handle.
 Depress the latches on both sides of the power handle
with one hand while pulling the head away from the tool
with your other hand.
 Place the desired head on the power handle and push
until the latches click into position. Pull on the head to
make sure it is securely installed before proceeding.
NOTE: The head can be installed at 90° angles to best
suit your application needs.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which can
result in serious personal injury.
BATTERY PACK REMOVAL AND PREPARATION
FOR RECYCLING
WARNING:
Upon removal, cover the battery pack's terminals
with heavy-duty adhesive tape. Do not attempt to
destroy or disassemble battery pack or remove any
of its components. Lithium-ion batteries must be
recycled or disposed of properly. Also, never touch
both terminals with metal objects and/or body
parts as short circuit may result. Keep away from
children. Failure to comply with these warnings
could result in fire and/or serious injury.
