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 liq-

uids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which

may ignite the dust or fumes.

a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose con-

trol.

Electrical Safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never mo-

dify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-

modified 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 electric 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 electric shock.

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

rying, 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 un-

avoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter

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

risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a Residual Current Device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of a RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

• It is recommended that the tool always be supplied

via a Residual Current Device having a residual

current of 30mA or less.

Personal Safety

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

mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not

use a power tool while you are tired or under the in-

fluence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment

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 finger on the

switch or energizing power tools that have the switch

ON invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turn-

ing the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached

to a rotating part of the power tool may result in per-

sonal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times. This enables better control of the power

tool in unexpected situations.

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

elry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves 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 col-

lection 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 the 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 was

designed.

• Do not use the 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, from

the power tool before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, 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

power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands

of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for

misalignment or binding of moving parts, break-

age of parts and any other condition that may

affect the power tool’s operation. 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.

• 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. Use of the power tool for operations

different from those intended could result in a hazard-

ous situation.

• 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.

Description

The RIDGID® Model 760 FXP Power Drive is a battery

powered tool which provides power for threading pipe and

conduit. Forward and Reverse rotation can be selected

with a Forward/Reverse Slide Switch while ON/OFF is

controlled by a momentary contact switch.

The power drive uses RIDGID 11-R (Model 760 FXP

11-R) and 12-R (Model 760 FXP 12-R) die heads (de-

pending on tool configuration) for 1/8" – 2" pipe. For the

Model 760 FXP 11-R version, an adapter is required for

1/8" – 1¼" sizes. This adapter and the 1½" – 2" sizes for

11-R, as well as all 12-R die heads in the Model 760 FXP

12-R, are held in the Power Drive using a Quick-acting

Retaining Mechanism. Other die heads such as OO-R

may be used with adapters. Due to the threading speed

exceeding 40 rpm, RIDGID High Speed dies and Nu-

Clear™, Endura-Clear™ or Extreme Performance™

Thread Cutting Oil are recommended for use with the

760 FXP Power Drive.

The Tool Status Lights indicate information related to wire-

less connection status, nearing the end of proper thread

creation, battery status, and tool error status. The work

lights surrounding the die head area turn on when the

ON/OFF switch is depressed to illuminate the work area.

The power drive includes wireless technology to allow

connection to smart phones and tablets. See “RIDGID

Link App connection (Wireless Communication)” section

for details.

The 760 FXP 12-R power drive can also be used to power

This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Standard Equipment

Refer to the RIDGID catalog for details on equipment sup-

plied with specific machine catalog numbers.

Selection of appropriate materials and instal-

lation, joining and forming methods is the responsibility of

the system designer and/or installer. Selection of improper

materials and methods could cause system failure.

Stainless steel and other corrosion resistant materials can

be contaminated during installation, joining and forming.

This contamination could cause corrosion and premature

failure. Careful evaluation of materials and methods for

the specific service conditions, including chemical and

temperature, should be completed before any installation

is attempted.

Pre-Operation Inspection

WARNING

Before each use, inspect 760 FXP Power Drive and

correct any problems to reduce the risk of serious

injury from electric shock, crushing injuries and

other causes and prevent power drive damage.

1. Make sure the ON/OFF switch is released and re-

move battery from tool.

2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the power drive and

support device, including the handles and controls.

This aids inspection and helps prevent the machine

or control from slipping from your grip.

3. Inspect the power drive and support arm for the fol-

lowing:

• Proper assembly, maintenance and completeness.

• Damaged, misaligned or binding parts.

• Proper operation of switches (Figure 1).

•

Support arm gripping teeth are clean and in good

condition. Teeth can be cleaned with a wire brush.

•

Presence and readability of the warning label (Fi-

gure 1).

•

Any other condition which may prevent safe and

normal operation.

If any problems are found, do not use the power

drive or support device until the problems have been

repaired.

4. Inspect the cutting edges of the dies for wear, de-

formation, chips or other issues. Dull or damaged

cutting tools increase the amount of force required,

produce poor quality threads and increase the risk of

injury.

5. Inspect and maintain any other equipment being

used per its instructions to make sure it is functioning

properly.

6. Following the Set Up and Operation instructions,

check the power drive for proper operation.

•

Move the Forward/Reverse slide switch to the

Forward position. Depress and release the ON/

OFF switch. Confirm that the power drive rotates in

correct direction (see Figure 5A) and stops when

releasing the switch.

•

Repeat the process for the Reverse operation (see

Figure 5B). If the power drive does not rotate in

the correct direction, or the ON/OFF switch does

not control the machine operation, do not use the

machine until it has been repaired.

Change position of the Forward/Reverse Slide

Switch only when the ON/OFF switch is released.

Allow the power drive to come to a complete stop

before reversing the direction with the Forward/

Reverse Slide Switch. This will reduce the risk of

power drive damage.

•

Depress and hold the ON/OFF switch. Inspect the

moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises

or any other unusual conditions. Release the ON/

OFF switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do

Set-Up and Operation

WARNING

Set up and operate the power drive according to

these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from

electric shock, entanglement, striking, crushing

and other causes, and to help prevent power drive

damage.

Use an appropriate support device per these in-

structions. Support devices improve control and

reduce the risk of striking, crushing, and/or other

injuries.

When using a support device other than the sup-

plied support arm, the support device must react

against the gear housing. Support devices contact-

ing the motor housing or handle may damage these

parts or increase the risk of injury.

Always firmly hold the power drive when threading

or backing die head off the pipe to resist use forces,

regardless of support device use. This will reduce

the risk of striking, crushing and other injuries.

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.

Properly support pipe. This will reduce the risk of

falling pipe, tipping and serious injury.

Do not use a power drive without a properly oper-

ating ON/OFF switch and Forward/Reverse Slide

Switch.

One person must control both the work process and

the ON/OFF switch. Do not operate with more than

one person. In case of entanglement, the operator

must be in control of the ON/OFF switch.

1. Check work area for:

• Adequate lighting.

• Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite.

If present, do not work in area until sources have

been identified and corrected. The power drives

are 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.

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

tings and confirm that the selected power drive is a

correct tool for the job. See Specifications. Do not

use to thread anything other than straight stock.

Equipment for other applications can be found in the

Ridge Tool catalog, online at RIDGID.com or by calling

Ridge Tool Technical Service in the U.S. and Canada

at (800) 519-3456.

3. Make sure equipment to be used has been properly

inspected.

4. Properly prepare the pipe as needed. Make sure the

pipe is squarely cut and deburred. Pipe cut at an

angle can damage the dies while threading or cause

difficulty engaging the die head.

Installing Die Heads

5. Installing 12-R Die Heads (760 FXP 12-R), 11-R (1½"

- 2") Die Heads or Adapter (760 FXP 11-R):

a. Make sure ON/OFF switch is released and battery

removed from tool.

b. Rotate the Drive Ring counterclockwise in the

direction of the arrows to open the retaining mech-

anism. Release the drive ring and confirm that the

drive stays in the open position (see Figure 6).

c. Fully insert the die head or adapter spline end into

the power drive to automatically lock the retaining

mechanism. Rotate the die head until the drive

pawls securely engage the spline. The 12-R die

head can be inserted from either side of the power

drive.

d. Confirm that the die head/adapter is secure.

that the filter screen is clean and fully submerged in

oil. Replace or add oil if necessary. Place the 418

Oiler bucket under the pipe end to be threaded.

If using Aerosol Oil, check the threading oil quantity

in cans. Make sure that there is enough oil for thread-

ing operation.

Resisting Threading Forces

Using the supplied support arm:

a. Always use the supplied support arm unless it

can’t be used because of space or other con-

straints. The support arm clamps to the pipe and

helps to resist the threading forces.

b. Position the support arm on pipe, so end of sup-

port arm aligns with end of pipe and top of support

arm is horizontal (Figure 10). This properly places

the support arm for threading and prevents thread-

ing oil from entering the Power Drive Housing (Fi-

gure 11).

c. Make sure that the support arm jaws are squarely

aligned with the pipe and securely tighten the sup-

port arm handle.

support arm may not be able to be used because of

space constraints.

a. If possible, remove the pipe and thread in a vise.

If this cannot be done, other support devices must

be used to help resist threading forces, such as

placing the power drive gear housing or alumi-

num body against an adjacent structural member

(examples include walls, beams and joists). This

requires that the pipe and surroundings be able to

withstand the weight of the tool and the threading

forces. It may be necessary to add temporary or

permanent pipe supports or structural elements.

b. For right hand threads, die head will rotate clock-

wise (looking at the face of the Die Head). Forces

developed by the threading torque will be in the op-

posite or counter-clockwise direction. Rotation and

force will be reversed for left hand threads. Make

sure that the support device is set up to properly

absorb the threading force.

c. Do not place the power drive handle, plastic body,

or battery against adjacent structural members to

react threading forces, as this may cause power

drive damage.

d. Keep power drive against the structural member

and do not place fingers or hands between the

power drive and the structural member. When

backing die head off thread, always firmly hold

the power drive to resist forces from breaking the

thread chips. These steps will reduce the risk of

striking, crushing and other injuries. The ON/OFF

switch can be released at any time to shut OFF the

power drive.

Always firmly hold the power drive when threading or

backing die head off pipe to resist forces, regardless of

support device use. This will reduce the risk of striking,

crushing and other injuries. The ON/OFF switch can be

released at any time to shut off the power drive.

Installing/Removing Battery

10. With dry hands, insert a fully charged battery into the

power drive. The Tool Status Lights will illuminate. See

Figure 4.

The tool has a latch to securely grip the battery. The

latch will engage with a sound when the battery is

inserted. Confirm by lightly pulling on the battery and

ensure that it does not separate from the tool.

To remove the battery, depress the latch and slide the

battery out of the tool.

Figure 12 – Battery Latch

Threading

11. Position the die head over the pipe end and support

the power drive as directed in the Resisting Threading

Forces Section.

12. Simultaneously actuate the ON/OFF switch and push

against the Push Pad or die head cover plate with the

palm of free hand to start the thread (see Figure 13).

The LED Work Light will illuminate when the ON/OFF

switch is pressed. For applications requiring use of

the 11-R Adapter (for 1/8" through 1¼" Die Heads),

only push on the die head cover plate.

Figure 13B – Starting the Thread Using the Push Pad

Do not wear gloves, jewelry or use a rag while push-

ing– this increases the risk of entanglement and

injury. Once the dies engage the pipe, threads will be

cut as the dies pull themselves onto the end of the

pipe.

Always firmly hold the power drive handle to resist

the handle forces. Support devices can slip and allow

the power drive to move. The ON/OFF switch can be

released at any time to shut off the power drive.

13. Stop pushing on push pad or die head cover plate and

apply a generous quantity of RIDGID Thread Cutting

Oil to the area being threaded. This will lower threading

torque, improve thread quality and increase die life

(see Figure 14).

The power drive will stop if the tool rotates quickly, ex-

ceeding a predetermined angle. If the tool is stopped

for this reason, remove the tool from the pipe,

properly support the power drive per the Resisting

Threading Forces section and continue operation.

Figure 14 – Threading Pipe

14. The power drive will alert the user when the die head

is approaching the end of a typical thread for most

pipe sizes/types. The lower LED of the Tool Status

Lights will blink green, and the LED work light will

vary intensity to indicate that the user has threaded

for about 8-9 rotations based on size and signals that

the user should pay closer attention to the die head

area as the completion of the thread is nearing; this is

not meant to indicate that the thread is complete. This

feature is useable on 1/2" - 2" NPT threads only; LED

will not illuminate for smaller threads. See Figure 4.

The power drive is equipped with LED Work Lights to

improve visibility to the die head area while threading.

Depress the ON/OFF switch until the end of the pipe

is even with edge of the dies and release the switch.

Let the power drive come to a complete stop. The

Figure 15 – Pipe Even with Edge of Dies

15. Reverse the Forward/Reverse Slide Switch and actu-

ate the ON/OFF switch to remove Die Head from the

threaded pipe. Hold onto the power drive handle firmly

to resist the handle forces developed while backing off

the Die Head.

Change position of the Forward/Reverse Slide

Switch only when the ON/OFF switch is released. Allow

the power drive to come to a complete stop before revers-

ing the direction with the Slide Switch. This will reduce the

risk of power drive damage.

16. Release the ON/OFF switch and remove the power

drive with Die Head from the pipe.

17. With dry hands, remove battery from the power drive.

18. Wipe oil and debris off the threads and out of the die

head, taking care not to cut yourself on sharp debris

or edges. Clean up any oil spills in the work area.

Inspecting Threads

1. Remove any oil, chips or debris from the thread.

2. Visually inspect thread. Threads should be smooth

and complete, with good form. If issues such as thread

tearing, thin threads, or pipe out-of-roundness are ob-

served, the thread may not seal when made up. 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 in Figure 16.

• 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.

Figure 16 – Checking Thread Size

• 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 2" and under

BSPT threads it should be 3 turns.

RIDGID Link App Connection

(Wireless Communication)

The RIDGID® 760 FXP Power Drive includes wireless

technology allowing communication to properly equipped

smart-phones or tablets (“devices”) running iOS or Android

operating systems.

1. Download the appropriate RIDGID® Link app to your

ured to do so. Power drive should be less than 33 ft.

(10 m) from the device to be detected. Any obstacle

between the tool and device can reduce the opera-

tional range.

4. Follow the app instructions for proper use.

5. The wireless communication turns OFF when the

battery is removed from the tool.

760 FXP Power drive – other

uses

This manual contains specific instructions for the use of

the 760 FXP Power Drive to thread with various RIDGID

die heads. When used with other RIDGID equipment

(such as the RIDGID 258/258XL Power Pipe Cutter)

follow the instructions and warnings supplied with that

RIDGID equipment on proper set up and use. It is rec-

ommended that 760 FXP Power Drive be operated in

Reverse when using with the RIDGID 258/258XL Power

Pipe Cutter.

The green LED indicating that the user is nearing the

end of a typical thread may illluminate during use in other

applications but should be ignored. The LED will turn off

after about 3-4 additional rotations.

RIDGID cannot provide specific instructions for every

possible use for the 760 FXP Power Drive. The user must

evaluate the specific work scenario and use good work

practices and methods. If there is any doubt about the use

of this Power Drive for these other purposes, do not use it.

• An appropriate method to withstand all handle forces

must be developed (See “Resisting Threading Forces”

section). Forces could exceed 1000 lbs. (455 kg). Sup-

port devices can be placed against the gear housing of

the 760 FXP Power Drive (Figure 1).

• Always keep the power drive against the support device

– do not place body parts between the power drive and

the support device.

• There should be no relative movement between the

power drive and the support device during use.

• Confirm that the application (such as operating or exer-

cising a valve) is free to turn, not jammed and that the

ends of travel are known. If the system jams or goes

solid during use, handle forces will increase abruptly

and significantly or the power drive may rotate.

• If using to exercise or operate valves or other equip-

ment, follow all equipment manufacturer instructions.

Do not overload the equipment.

• Use such that the power drive reaction force pulls away

from the user.

• Release the ON/OFF switch at any time to shut off the

power drive. Make sure that you are able to release the

ON/OFF switch.

Storage

Remove battery from the 760 FXP Power

Drive. Power Drive and battery must be kept dry and

indoors or well covered if kept outdoors. Avoid storing in

extreme heat or cold. Store the machine in a locked area

that is out of reach of children and people unfamiliar with

Power Drive. This machine can cause serious injury in

the hands of untrained users. Refer to the battery/charger

manual.

Maintenance Instructions

Changing Dies in Die Heads

Due to the threading speed exceeding 40 rpm, RIDGID

High Speed dies are recommended for use with the 760

FXP Power Drive. Use of Alloy dies may result in reduced

die life, poor thread quality, or reduced tool performance.

A variety of dies are available for installation in RIDGID

11-R or 12-R Die Heads. See catalog for availability.

Remove the four screws from cover and remove the cover

plate.

1. Remove the old dies from the die head.

2. Insert new dies into slots – numbered edge up. Num-

bers on the dies must correspond with those on the

die head slots. Always replace dies as a set.

Figure 17 – Installing Dies In Die Head

3. Replace the cover plate and tighten the four screws

lightly.

4. Place die head on already threaded pipe until dies

begin to thread. This forces stop on dies outward

against lugs on cover plate and properly sets the size.

5. Tighten the four screws securely. Remove the threaded

pipe and make a test cut.
