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.

WARNING
To avoid electrical shock and electrical fires, never use an
extension cord that is damaged or does not meet the fol-
lowing requirements:
• The cord has a three-prong plug similar to shown in
Electrical Safety section.
• The cord is rated as “W” or “W-A” if being used out-
doors.
• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (14 AWG). If
the wire thickness is too small, the cord may over-
heat, melting the cord’s insulation or causing nearby
objects to ignite.

electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands.
9. Check the Threading Machine to insure it is operating
properly.
• Flip the switch to ON. Press and release the foot
switch. Check that the Threading Machine rotates
in a counterclockwise direction as you are facing
the front chuck. Have the Threading Machine ser-
viced if it rotates in the wrong direction or if the foot
switch does not control its stopping or starting.
• Depress and hold the foot switch. Inspect the
moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises
or any other unusual conditions that may affect the
safe and normal operation of the machine. If such
conditions are present, have the Threading
Machine serviced.
• Check the coolant system by placing the die head
in the DOWN position. Press down on the die
head (Figure 7). With the foot switch depressed,
the coolant should flow from the die head as con-
tinuous stream of drops (approximately one (1)
drop per second).
