Warnings*

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations

and specications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may

result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable

liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and by-standers away while opera-

ting a power. Distractions can cause you to lose

control.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

mod ify the plug in any way. Do not use any adap-

ter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

* The text used in the General Safety Rule section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA 62841-1 edition standard. This section

contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution applies to every tool, and some do not apply to this tool.

999-998-098.10_REV C 3

Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce

risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrig-

erators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi-

tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the

risk of electrical shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter

(GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the

risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

mo ment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear

eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust

mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing

protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce

personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the OFF-position before connecting to power

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying

the tool. Carryingpowertoolswithyourngeronthe

switch or energizing power tools that have the switch

ON invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. This enables better control of the

power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines

jewelry. Keep your hair, and clothing away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these

are connected and properly used. Use of dust

collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of

tools allow you to become complacent and ignore

tool safety principles. A careless action can cause

severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force power tool. Use the correct power tool

for your application. The correct power tool will do the

job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use power tool if the switch does not

turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be

repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or the battery pack, if detachable, from the power

tool before making any adjustments, changing ac-

cessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power

tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the

power tool or these instructions to operate the

tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of

untrained users.

• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage

of parts and any other condition that may affect the

power tool’s op er ation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-

tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less

likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and

grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and

control of the tool in unexpected situations.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.

in accordance with these instructions, taking into

account the working conditions and the work

to be performed. The use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result

in a hazardous situation.

999-998-098.10_REV C

of the machine. This practice could lead to trapping,

entanglement and loss of control.

• Keep covers in place. Do not operate the machine

with covers removed. Exposing moving parts in-

creases the probability of entanglement.

• Do not use this machine if the foot switch is

broken or missing. The foot switch provides safe

control of the machine, such as shut-off in case of

entanglement.

• One person must control the work process, ma-

chine operation and foot switch. Only the operator

should be in the work area when the machine is

running. This helps reduce the risk of injury.

• Never reach into the machine front chuck or

rear centering head. This will reduce the risk of

entanglement.

• Read and understand these instructions and the

instructions and warnings for all equipment and

materials being used before operating this tool to

reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up

WARNING

Set up the Threading Machine and the work area

according to these procedures to reduce the risk

of injury from electric shock, machine tipping,

entanglement, crushing and other causes, and to

help prevent threading machine damage.

Secure machine to stable stand or bench. Properly

support pipe. This will reduce the risk of falling

pipe, tipping and serious injury.

Do not use the Threading Machines without a prop-

erly operating foot switch. A foot switch provides

better control by letting you shut off the machine

motor by removing your foot.

1. Check work area for:

• Adequate lighting.

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

If present, do not work in area until source is identi-

fied, removed or corrected, and area is completely

ventilated. The threading machine is not explosion

proof and can cause sparks.

• Clear, level, stable, dry location for all equipment

and operator.

• Good ventilation. Do not use extensively in small,

enclosed areas.

• Properly grounded electrical outlet of the correct

voltage. Check the machine serial plate for re-

quired voltage. A three-prong or GFCI outlet may

not be properly grounded. If in doubt, have outlet

inspected by a licensed electrician.

2. Inspect the pipe to be threaded and associated fit-

tings. Determine the correct equipment for the job,

see specifications. Do not use to thread anything

other than straight stock. Do not thread pipe with fit-

tings or other attachments. This increases the risk of

entanglement.

3. Transport equipment to work area. See Preparing

Machine for Transport for information.

4. Confirm equipment to be used has been properly

inspected and assembled.

5. Confirm that the REV/OFF/FWD switch is in the OFF

position.

6. Check that the correct dies are in the die head and

are properly set. If needed, install and/or adjust the

Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING

Before each use, inspect your threading machine

and correct any problems to reduce the risk of

serious injury from electric shock, crushing injuries

and other causes, and to help prevent threading

machine damage.

1. Make sure that the threading machine is unplugged

and the REV/OFF/FWD switch is in OFF position.

2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the threading ma-

chine, including the handles and controls. This aids

inspection and helps prevent the machine or control

from slipping from your grip. Clean and maintain the

machine per the maintenance instructions.

3. Inspect the threading machines for the following:

• Condition of the cords and plug for damage or mod-

ification.

• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.

• Any broken, worn, missing, misaligned or binding

parts or other damage.

• Presence and operation of the foot switch. Confirm

that foot switch is attached, in good condition, that

it cycles smoothly and does not stick.

• Presence and readability of warning labels (Fi gures

1 & 2).

• Condition of the dies, cutter wheel and reamer cut-

ting edges. Dull or damaged cutting tools increase

required force, produce poor results and increase

the risk of injury.

• Any other condition which may prevent safe and

normal operation.

If any problems are found, do not use the threading

machine until the problems have been repaired.

4. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being used

per its instructions to make sure it is functioning prop-

erly.

300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines

999-998-098.10_REV C

300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines

dies in the die head. See Die Head Set-Up and Use

section for details.

7. Swing the cutter, reamer and die head away up away

from the operator. Make sure they are stable and will

not fall in the work area.

8 If pipe will extend past the chip tray in the front of the

machine or more than 2' (0.6 m) out of the rear of the

machine, use pipe stands to support the pipe and

prevent the pipe and threading machine from tipping

or falling. Place the pipe stands in line with machine

chucks, approximately 1/3 of distance from end of the

pipe to the machine. Longer pipe may need more

than one pipe stand. Only use pipe stands designed

for this purpose. Improper pipe supports or support-

ing the pipe by hand can cause tipping or entangle-

ment injuries.

9. Restrict access or set-up guards or barricades to

create a minimum of 3' (1 m) clearance around the

threading machine and pipe. This helps prevent

non-operators from contacting the machine or pipe

and reduces the risk of tipping or entanglement.

10. Position the foot switch as shown in Figure 21 to

allow a proper operating position.

11. Check the level of RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil. Re-

move the chip tray and oil pan liner; see that the filter

screen assembly is fully submerged in oil. See Oil

System Maintenance. If the machine is equipped with

the drip tray, make sure it properly placed to direct oil

dripping off the die head into the chip tray (see Figure

5).

12. With the REV/OFF/FWD switch in OFF position, run

the cord along a clear path. With dry hands, plug the

power cord into the properly grounded outlet. Keep

all connections dry and off the ground. If the power

cord is not long enough use an extension cord that:

• Is in good condition.

• Has a three-prong plug like on the threading ma-

chine.

• Is rated for outdoor use and contains a W or W-A

in the cord designation (e.g. SOW).

• Has sufficient wire size. For extension cords up to

50' (15.2 m) long use 14 AWG (2.5 mm2) or heavier.

For extension cords 50'-100' (15.2 m - 30.5 m) long

use 12 AWG (2.5 mm2) or heavier.

13. Check the threading machine for proper operation.

With hands clear:

• Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD po-

sition. Press and release the foot switch. Chuck

should rotate counter-clockwise when viewed from

the carriage end (see Figure 23.) Repeat for REV

position – chuck should rotate clockwise. If the

threading machine does not rotate in the correct

direction, or the foot switch does not control the

machine operation, do not use the machine until it

has been repaired.

• Depress and hold the foot switch. Inspect the mov-

ing parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or

any other unusual conditions. Remove foot from the

foot switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do

not use the machine until it has been repaired

• Place die head in the use position. Depress and

hold the foot switch. Check for oil flow through the

die head. Remove foot from the foot switch. The oil

flow can be adjusted with the control valve on car-

riage (Figure 5). Clockwise rotation decreases flow

and counterclockwise increases flow. Do not adjust

while the machine is running.

Figure 5 – Adjusting Oil Flow

14. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position,

and with dry hands unplug the machine.

Operating Instructions

WARNING

Do not wear gloves or loose clothing. Keep sleeves

and jackets buttoned. Loose clothing can become

entangled in rotating parts and cause crushing and

striking injuries.

Keep hands away from rotating pipe and parts.

Stop the machine before wiping threads or screw-

ing on ttings. Do not reach across the machine or

pipe. To prevent entanglement, crushing or striking

injuries, allow machine to come to a complete stop

before touching the pipe or machine chucks.

Do not use this machine to make or break (tighten

or loosen) fittings. This can cause striking or

crushing injuries.

Do not use a threading machine without a properly

operating foot switch. Never block a foot switch

in the ON position so that it does not control the

threading machine. A foot switch provides better

control by letting you shut off the machine motor by

removing your foot. If entanglement should occur

and power is maintained to the motor, you will be

pulled into the machine. This machine has high

torque and can cause clothing to bind around your

arm or other body parts with enough force to crush

or break bones or cause striking or other injuries.

One person must control both the work process

and the foot switch. Do not operate with more than

one person. In case of entanglement, the operator

must be in control of the foot switch.

Follow operating instructions to reduce the risk of

injury from entanglement, striking, crushing and

other causes.

1. Make sure that machine and work area is properly set

up and that the work area is free of bystanders and

other distractions. The operator should be the only

person in the area while the machine is operated.

The cutter, reamer and die head should be up away

from the operator, do not place in the operating posi-

tion. Make sure they are stable and will not fall. Fully

open the chucks of the threading machine.

2. Insert pipe shorter than 2' (0,6 m) from the front of the

machine. Insert longer pipes through either end so

that the longer section extends out beyond the rear

of the Threading Machine. Confirm that pipe stands

are properly placed.

3. If needed, mark the pipe. Place pipe so that the area

to be cut or end to be reamed or threaded is approx-

imately 4" (100 mm) from the front of the chuck. If

closer, the carriage may strike the machine during

the threading and damage the machine.

4. Turn the rear centering device counterclockwise

(viewed from rear of machine) to close down onto

pipe. Make sure that the pipe is centered in the inserts.

This improves pipe support and gives better results.

Figure 20 – Chucking Pipe

5. Turn the front chuck handwheel counterclockwise

(viewed from front of machine) to close down onto

pipe. Make sure that the pipe is centered in the inserts.

Close Open

300 Compact/1233 Threading Machines

999-998-098.10_REV C 13

Use repeated and forceful counterclockwise spins of

the handwheel to secure the pipe in front chuck.

6. Assume a proper operating position to help maintain

control of the machine and pipe (See Figure 21).

• Stand on the REV/OFF/FWD switch side of the

machine with convenient access to the tools and

switch.

• Be sure that you can control the foot switch. Do not

step on foot switch yet.

• Be sure that you have good balance and do not

have to overreach.

Figure 21 – Operating Position

Cutting

1. Open cutter by turning the feed screw counterclock-

wise. Lower the cutter into cutting position over the

pipe. Use the carriage handwheel to move the cutter

over the area to be cut, and align the cutter wheel with

the mark on the pipe. Cutting threaded or damaged

sections of pipe can damage the cutter wheel.

2. Tighten the cutter feed screw handle to bring the cut-

ter wheel firmly in contact with the pipe while keeping

the cutter wheel aligned with the mark on the pipe.

3. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD position.

4. With both hands, grasp the pipe cutter feed handle.

5. Depress the foot switch.

6. Tighten the feed screw handle one-half turn per rota-

tion of the pipe until the pipe is cut. More aggressive

tightening of the handle reduces cutter wheel life and

increases pipe burr formation. Do not support the

pipe by hand. Let the cut off piece be supported by

the threading machine carriage and pipe stand.

Figure 22 – Cutting Pipe with Cutter

7. Remove foot from the foot switch.

8. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position.

9. Raise cutter into position up away from operator.

Reaming

1. Move the reamer into reaming position. Make sure

that it is securely positioned to prevent it from moving

during use.

2. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD position.

3. With both hands, grasp the carriage handwheel.

4. Depress the foot switch.

5. Turn carriage handwheel to move the reamer to the

end of the pipe. Apply slight pressure to the hand-

wheel to feed the reamer into pipe to remove the burr

as desired.

Figure 23 – Reaming Pipe with Reamer, Machine Rotation

6. Remove foot from the foot switch.

7. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position.

8. Move the reamer up away from the operator.

Threading Pipe

Due to differing pipe characteristics, a test thread should

always be performed before the first thread of the day or

when changing pipe size, schedule or material.

1. Lower the die head into the threading position. Con-

firm that the dies are correct for the pipe being

threaded and properly set. See the “Die Head Set-Up

and Use” section for information on changing and

adjusting dies.

Figure 24 – Threading Pipe (811-A Quick Opening Die

Head shown)

2. Close the die head.

3. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the FWD position.

4. With both hands, grasp the carriage handwheel.

FWD (1) REV (2)REV (2)

5. Depress the foot switch.

6. Confirm cutting oil flow through the die head.

7. Turn carriage handwheel to move the die head to the

end of the pipe (Figure 24). Apply slight force to the

handwheel to start the die head onto the pipe. Once

the die head starts threading the pipe, no more force

is required on the carriage handwheel.

8. Keep your hands away from the rotating pipe. Make

sure the carriage does not hit the machine. When the

thread is complete, open the die head. Do not run

machine in Reverse (REV) with dies engaged.

9. Remove foot from the foot switch.

10. Move the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position.

11. Turn the carriage handwheel to move the die head

past the end of the pipe. Raise the die head into po-

sition up away from the operator.

12. Remove the pipe from the machine and inspect the

thread. Do not use the machine to tighten or loosen

fittings on the thread.

Threading Bar Stock/Bolt Threading

Bolt threading is similar to the pipe threading process.

The stock diameter should never exceed the thread

major diameter.

When cutting bolt threads, the correct dies and die

head must be used. Bolt threads may be cut as long

as needed, but make sure the carriage does not hit the

machine. If long threads are required:

1. At the end of carriage travel, leave the die head

closed, remove foot from the foot switch and move

the REV/OFF/FWD switch to the OFF position.

2. Open the chuck and move the carriage and work-

piece to the end of the machine.

3. Re-chuck the rod and continue threading.

Left Hand Threading

Cutting left hand threads is similar to the right hand

threading process. Left hand threading is possible with

300 Compact threading machine with REV/OFF/FWD

switch only. To cut left hand threads, left hand die heads

and dies are required.

1. Change the oil pump connections to allow oil flow

when the machine is run in reverse (REV). See

Figure 25. Be sure to return the connections to their

original configuration when returning to right hand

threading. Always replace cover before use.

Removing Pipe from the Machine

1. With the REV/OFF/FWD switch in the OFF position

and the pipe stationary, use repeated and forceful

clockwise spins of the handwheel to loosen the pipe

in the chuck. Open the front chuck and the rear-cen-

tering device. Do not reach into chuck or centering

device.

2. Firmly grip the pipe and remove from the machine.

Carefully handle the pipe as the thread may still be

hot and there may be burrs or sharp edges.

Inspecting Threads

1. After removing the pipe from the machine, clean the

thread.

2. Visually inspect thread. Threads should be smooth

and complete, with good form. If issues such as

thread tearing, waviness, thin threads, or pipe out-of-

roundness are found, the thread may not seal. Refer

to the Troubleshooting Chart for help in diagnosing

these issues.

3. Inspect the size of the thread.

• The preferred method of checking thread size is

with a ring gauge. There are various styles of ring

gauges, and their usage may differ from that shown

here.

• Screw ring gauge onto the thread hand tight.

• Look at how far the pipe end extends through the

ring gage. The end of the pipe should be flush with

the side of the gauge plus or minus one turn. If

thread does not gauge properly, cut off the thread,

adjust the die head and cut another thread. Using

a thread that does not gauge properly can cause

leaks.

• If a ring gauge is not available to inspect thread

size, it is possible to use a new clean fitting repre-

sentative of those used on the job to gauge thread

size. For 2" and under NPT threads, the threads

should be cut to obtain 4 to 5 turns to hand tight

engagement with the fitting and for BSPT it should

be 3 turns. For 21/2" to 3" NPT threads the hand

tight engagement should be 5.5 to 6 threads, and

for BSPT it should be 4 threads.

4. See “Adjusting Thread Size” under “Die Head Set-Up

and Use” heading to adjust thread size.

5. Test the piping system in accordance with local codes

and normal practice.
