Fitting of the jaws (see Fig.1)
• Pull out the lock pin (Fig.1, ref. 7).
• Insert the correct jaw (Fig.1, ref. 8) (size and specifi cation of the fi tting)
into the jaw-mounting opening.
Note:- Use only RP 100-B RIDGID jaws with the RP 100-B
• Insert the lock pin into the hole situated in the jaw side plate, and fi rmly
close the lock pin by pushing it back into the original position (Fig.2).
Performing the Press Fit action
• Check that the correct jaws have been fi tted for the joint that is going to
be pressed.
• Check that a charged battery is correctly inserted into the tool and place
the jaws over the fi tting.
• Press the ON switch (Fig.1, ref. 1) to switch on the electronic controls.

sing cycle at all times. For safety reasons, the automatic pressing facility
only engages after the electronic control has completed system checks.

sound (300-B only) and the red LED will blink to inform the operator of
the error. See TROUBLESHOOTING.
