9 Storage and disposal
9.1 Sensitivity
The Pressing Tool /charger must be protected against hard knocks, wet
conditions, damp conditions, dirt, dust, extremely low temperatures,
extremely high temperatures, chemical solutions and gases.
The Pressing Tool features extensive EMC protection. Should
electromagnetic interference switch off the Pressing Tool
nevertheless, please disconnect the machine from the mains briefly
or briefly remove the rechargeable battery from the fixture. This will generally
remedy the fault. Otherwise, please eliminate the cause of the interference.
9.2 Intermediate storage
Disconnect the Pressing Tool from the mains or remove the rechargeable
battery if you do not intend to use the Pressing Tool.
The rechargeable battery achieves its full theoretical capacity after
a long period of storage only after fully recharging the battery 1–5
times.
If the Pressing Tool is not used directly after delivery, please store it in the
original packaging at a dry location.
Keep Pressing Tool out of reach of unauthorised persons at dry,
lockable locations!
Pressing Tools that are not used for long periods (6 months or
more) must be cleaned and stored in a dry condition. Also check
the Pressing Tool for operability by conducting the checks in
accordance with Point 10.2 before using the Pressing Tool again.
9.3 Disposal
Please send the Pressing Tools to your nearest servicing agent
(see www.ridgid.eu for addresses) or dispose of it through a recycling
company for environment-friendly disposal. Pressing Tools may not be
disposed of as scrap metal or domestic waste.
10 Cleaning, checks, repairs and inspections
Always disconnect the machine from the mains or remove the
rechargeable battery from the Pressing Tool before carrying out
cleaning work!
10.1 Regular cleaning after use
• Clean the press rolls (5) in dry condition and grease them a little.
• Clean the press jaws to remove dirt and metallic residue using a solvent.
Then spray the entire jaw with a combined lubricant and corrosion inhibitor.
Never use liquids (water or chemicals) or damp cloths to clean the
Pressing Tool. The housing outside surface may be cleaned with a
damp cloth (plastic parts).
10.2 Regular checks
Ensure that the press jaw closes fully when pressing. Each time
after using the Pressing Tool, check the press geometry of the press
jaws for damage or visible wear.
Please contact an authorised servicing agent (see www.ridgid.eu for
addresses) if malfunctions occur.
10.3 Repairs
Never perform repair work yourself. Please always send the
Pressing Tool to an authorised servicing agent (see www.ridgid.eu
for addresses) for servicing or repair.
Do not tamper with the electrical and electronic systems. If
problems occur, please contact an authorised servicing agent (see
www.ridgid.eu for addresses).
10.4 Inspection and maintenance of the Pressing Tool (recommended)
Perfect press-fit joints require a fully operable and periodically serviced
Pressing Tool (recommended after 4 years or automatically at 32,000 cycles).
The Pressing Tool should thus be sent to an authorised servicing agent for
inspection and maintenance if the Service indicator lights. Periodic inspection
together with the press jaws (Point 6.4) considerably prolongs the service life
of the Pressing Tool.
The Service indicator (green LED and amber LED blinking) is intended to
draw your attention to the fact that the Pressing Tool requires servicing after
30,000 pressing operations. The Pressing Tool is locked by the electronic
monitoring system (yellow LED lights) after 32,000 pressing operations. It
must then be sent to an authorised servicing agent for servicing (see www.
ridgid.eu for addresses).
If there is a machine fault, the Pressing Tool is locked immediately by the
electronic monitoring system and it must then be submitted to a servicing
agent for inspection (always read Chapter 4.4).
