Press Tool Safety
• Use the RP 210 Press Tool only with RIDGID Com -
pact pressing attachments (jaws, press ring, actu-
ator, etc.). Other uses or modifying the RP 210 Press
Tool for other applications may damage the press
tool, damage the attachments and/or cause personal
injury.
• Keep your fingers and hands away from pressing
attachments during press cycle. Your fingers or
hands can be crushed, fractured or amputated if they
become caught between the jaws or between these
components and any other object.
• Never attempt to repair damaged jaws, press ring,
actuator or other attachments. An attachment that
has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any
manner can shatter during pressing resulting in serious
injury. Discard the entire damaged jaws. Replace with
new jaws. Never replace individual components except
for damaged jaw return springs. Please call Ridge
Tool Company, Technical Services for availability.
• Read and understand this operator's manual, the
attachment instructions, the fitting manufactur-
er's installation instructions and the instructions
for any other equipment used with this tool before
operating the RP 210. Failure to follow all instructions
may result in property damage and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
Battery And Charger Safety
WARNING
Read the battery charger manual before using the
charger or batteries. Failure to read, understand and
follow the contents of the charger manual may
result in extensive property damage, severe per-
sonal injury, or death.

Description, Specifications
And Standard Equipment
Description
The RP 210 Press Tool, when used with appropriate
jaws, is designed to mechanically press fittings onto tub-
ing to create a water-tight and permanent seal. When the
switch on the RP 210 is depressed, an internal electric
motor powers a hydraulic pump which forces fluid into the
cylinder of the tool, forcing the ram forward and applying
thousands of pounds of pressing force onto specially
designed fittings. Attachments are also available for other
uses.
The entire cycle duration is approximately five (5) seconds.
Once the cycle begins to deform a fitting, it will automat-
ically continue until completion, even if the trigger switch
is released. The LED displays on the back of the tool indi-
cate problems such as improper temperature, open
attachment mounting pin or maintenance required.

• Charge batteries only in the appropriate battery
charger as specified in the charger manual. Other
types of batteries or non-rechargeable batteries may
burst resulting in personal injury and damage.
• Do not probe battery with conductive ob jects.
Short ing of battery terminals may cause sparks, burns
or electrical shock.
• Do not insert battery with cracked case into tool or
charger. Do not operate battery if it has been drop -
ped or damaged in any way. Damaged battery
increases the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not burn batteries for any reason. Batteries
explode in fire.
• Charge batteries in temperatures above +41°F
(+5°C) and below +113°F (45°C). Store tool and
bat tery pack in locations where temperatures will
not exceed +104°F (40°C). Proper care will prevent
serious damage to batteries. Improper care of batteries
may result in battery leakage, electrical shock or burns.
• Do not allow anything to cover the charger while in
use. May result in fire.
• Unplug the charger when not in use. Reduces risk
of injury to children and untrained persons.
• Do not charge battery in damp or wet environ-
ment. Do not expose to rain or snow. Increases the
risk of electrical shock.
• Do not open the charger. Have repairs done only by
authorized experts.
