Setup and Operation
Instructions
WARNING
Keep your fingers and hands away from
the Jaws during the crimping cycle. Your
fingers or hands can be crushed, frac-
tured or amputated if they become caught
between the dies or between these com-
ponents and any other object.
Large forces are generated during prod-
uct use that can break or throw parts
and cause injury. Stay clear of the jaws
during use and wear appropriate protec-
tive equipment, including eye protection.
Do not operate the tool without correct
RIDGID dies properly installed in the
jaws. This can damage the tool and/or
cause serious personal injury.
Use proper tool, die and fitting combi-
nations. Improper combinations can re-
sult in an incomplete or improper crimp,
which increases the risk of leaks, equip-
ment damage and injury.
Follow set up and operating instructions
to reduce the risk of injury from crushing,
electrical shock and other causes and to
prevent tool damage.
1. Confirm appropriate work area (See Gen-
eral Power Tool Safety Warnings). Operate

spected and set up as directed in their in-
structions.
