General Safety Information

WARNING! Read and understand all instructions.

Failure to follow all instructions listed

below may result in electric shock, fire,

and/or serious personal injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

Work Area Safety

• Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered

benches and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids,

gases, or dust. Tools create sparks which may ignite

the dust or fumes.

• Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away while

operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials such

as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.

Electrical Safety

• Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,

properly installed and grounded in accordance

with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the

grounding prong or modify the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs. Check with a qual-

ified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether

the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should

electrically malfunction or break down, grounding pro-

vides a low resistance path to carry electricity away

from the user.

• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There

is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is

grounded.

• Don’t expose electrical tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of

electrical shock.

• Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to pull the

plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,

sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged

cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk

of electrical shock.

• When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor ex-

tension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords

are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of elec-

trical shock.

• Use only three-wire extension cords which have

three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole re-

ceptacles which accept the tool’s plug. Use of other

extension cords will not ground the tool and increase

the risk of electrical shock.

• Use proper extension cords. (See chart.) Insufficient

conductor size will cause excessive voltage drop, and

loss of power.

• Keep all electric connections dry and off the

ground. Do not touch plugs or tool with wet hands.

Reduces the risk of electrical shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not

use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-

elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF be-

fore plugging in. Plugging in tools that have the

switch ON invites accidents.

• Remove adjusting keys before turning the tool

ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating

part of the tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-

ditions.

Tool Use and Care

• Do not use if switch does not turn it ON or OFF.

Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is

dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories

or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-

dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended for

your tool. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool

may become hazardous when used on another tool.

• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and

grease. Allows for better control of the tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified

repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-

ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance

Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a

risk of electrical shock or injury.

Specific Safety Information

WARNING

Read this operator’s manual carefully before using

the 1210 Threading Machine. Failure to under-

stand and follow the contents of this manual may

result in electrical shock, fire and/or serious per-

sonal injury.

Call the Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service

Department at (800) 519-3456 if you have any questions.

Foot Switch Safety

Using a power drive or threading machine without a

foot switch increases the risk of serious injury. A

foot switch provides better control by letting you

shut off the motor by removing your foot. If clothing

should become caught in the machine, it will con-

tinue to wind up, pulling you into the machine.

Because the machine has high torque, the clothing it-

self can bind around your arm or other body parts

with enough force to crush or break bones.

Machine Safety

• Threading Machine is made to thread and cut pipe.

Follow instructions on proper use of this machine.

Do not use for other purposes such as turning

winches. Other uses or modifying this threading ma-

chine for other applications may increase the risk of

serious injury.

• Support long heavy pipe with pipe supports. This

practice will prevent tipping.

• Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper-

ating machine. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned.

Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothing

can be caught by the pipe or machine resulting in en-

tanglement and serious injury.

• Operate machine from side with REV/OFF/FOR

switch. Eliminates need to reach over the machine.

• Do not use this machine if the foot switch is broken

or missing. Foot switch is a safety device to prevent

serious injury.

• Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings.

Stop the machine before wiping pipe threads or

screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to

a complete stop before touching the pipe or ma-

chine chucks. This practice will prevent entanglement

and serious injury.

• Do not use this machine to make or break fittings.

This practice is not an intended use of the machine and

can result in serious injury.

• Tighten chuck handwheel and engage rear cen-

tering devise on the pipe before turning on the

machine. Prevents oscillation of the pipe.

• Keep covers in place. Do not operate the machine

with covers removed. Exposure to moving parts may

result in entanglement and serious injury.

• Allow threads to cool before handling. Threads will

be hot to the touch immediately after threading.

• Use in ventilated area. Prevents accumulation of

coolant vapors.
