•When operating a power tool outside, use an out-
door extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electrical shock.
•Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole recep-
tacles 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
common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating power tools may result in seri-
ous personal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. 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
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on
the switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON
invites accidents.
•Remove adjusting keys or wrenches 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 overreach. 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 protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

No. 700 Portable Power Drive
General Safety Rules
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
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and 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 by-standers, children, and visitors away
while operating a power 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 qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the out-
let is properly grounded. If the tool should electrical-
ly malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
•Do not expose electrical power tools to rain or
wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electrical shock.
•Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tools or 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.

Tool Use and Care
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by hand or against your body is unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the same rate for which it is designed.
•Do not use tool if switch does not turn the tool 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.
•Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp
and clean. Properly maintained tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to con-
trol.
•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 accidents
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 risk of
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 700 Power Drive. Failure to understand and fol-
low the contents of this manual may result in
electrical shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Call Ridge Tool Technical Service Department at (800)
519-3456 if you have any questions.
Power Drive Safety
•The Power Drive is made to turn threaders and
other equipment. Follow instructions in this Oper-
ator’s Manual on proper use when threading. When
using it to power other equipment, read and follow
the safety and operating instructions provided
with that equipment. Other uses may increase the
risk of serious injury.
•When threading one inch or larger pipe, secure
Power Drive using a No. 775 Support Arm. Hold
Power Drive firmly. If the Power Drive cannot be
secured by a Support Arm, use other mechanical
means such as a pipe wrench. Resists high handle
forces developed during use and prevents losing con-
trol of the tool.
•Do not use this power drive if switch is broken.
This switch is a safety device that lets you shut off the
motor by removing your finger.
•Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper-
ating Power Drive. Keep sleeves and jackets but-
toned. Do not reach across rotating tool parts or
workpiece. Clothing can be caught resulting in entan-
glement and serious injury.
•When using to power equipment other than thread-
ers, the 700 Power Drive may have to be secured
to resist high handle forces. Handle forces that are
developed will depend on the application. High handle
forces may cause serious injury.
•Do not use dull or damaged dies. Sharp cutting
dies require less torque and the Power Drive is easier
to control.

Power Drive Inspection
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, inspect your Power Drive.
The following inspection procedures should be per-
formed on a daily basis:
1. Make sure Power Drive is unplugged.
2. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the
plug has been modified, is missing the grounding
pin, or if the cord is damaged, do not use the Power
Drive until the cord has been replaced.
3. Inspect the Power Drive for any broken, missing,
misaligned or binding parts as well as any other con-
ditions which may affect the safe and normal opera-
tion of the tool. If any of these conditions are present,
do not use the Power Drive until the condition has
been repaired.
4. Lubricate the Power Drive if necessary according to
the Maintenance Instructions.
5. Use tools and accessories that are designed for your
Power Drive and meet the needs of your application.
The correct tools and accessories allow you to do the
job successfully and safely. Accessories suitable for
use with other equipment may be hazardous when
used with this Power Drive.
6. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment han-
dles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury due
to a tool or control slipping from your grip.
7. Inspect the cutting edges of your dies. If necessary,
have them replaced prior to using the Power Drive.
Dull or damaged dies can lead to poor quality threads.
8. Clean metal shavings and other debris from the chip
tray of the 418 Oiler. Check the level and quality of the
thread cutting oil. Replace or add oil if necessary.
NOTE! Thread cutting oil lubricates and cools the threads
during the threading operation. A dirty or poor
grade cutting oil can result in poor thread quality
and increased threading torque, and reduced
die life.
Tool and Work Area Set-Up
WARNING
To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the
Power Drive and work area is required. The fol-
lowing procedures should be followed to ensure
proper set-up of the tool.
1. Locate a work area that has the following:
• Adequate lighting
• No flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may
ignite.
• Grounded electrical outlet
• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not
contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or
moving parts that may damage electrical cord.
• Dry place for operator. Do not use the Power Drive
while standing in water.
• Level ground for tristand vise and pipe stands.
2. Clean up the work area prior to setting up any equip-
ment. Always wipe up any oil that may have splashed
or dripped from the oiler to prevent slips and falls.
3. Plug the Power Drive into the electrical outlet making
sure to position the power cord along the clear path
selected earlier. If the power cord does not reach the
outlet, use an extension cord in good condition.
To avoid electrical shock and electrical
fires, never use an extension cord that is damaged or
does not meet the following 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
outdoors.
• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (14 AWG
below 25′/12 AWG 25′- 50′). If the wire thickness
is too small, the cord may overheat, melting the
cord’s insulation or causing nearby objects to
ignite.
To reduce risk of electrical shock, keep all
electrical connections dry and off the ground. Do not
touch plug with wet hands.
4. Check the Power Drive to insure it is operating prop-
erly.
• Depress the switch and make sure it controls the
stopping of the Power Drive by releasing the switch.

• Depress and hold the 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 tool. If such condi-
tions are present, have the Power Drive serviced.
• Depress switch in the opposite direction. Check
that the Power Drive rotates in the opposite direction.
Operating Instructions
For Threading With Drop Head
Die Heads
WARNING
Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when oper-
ating Power Drive. Keep sleeves and jackets but-
toned.
Do not use this Power Drive if the switch is broken.
Always wear eye protection to protect eyes from
dirt and other foreign objects.
When threading pipe one inch or larger, use the
No. 775 Support Arm or other mechanical means
to resist high handle force developed during
threading.
1. Push Die Heads or Adapters, spline end first, square-
ly into the Power Drive until the spring-loaded adapter
pawls catch securely (Figure 3) .
NOTE! Installation can be made into either side of the
Power Drive.
Figure 3 – Installing No. 12-R Drop Head Die Head
2. If possible, secure the pipe in a portable tristand vise
or a bench vise.
To prevent tipping, long lengths of pipe
should also be supported with pipe stand.
3. Be sure the 418 Oiler is properly filled with RIDGID
Thread Cutting Oil. Position the oiler in front of the vise
(Figure 4) .
4. Position No. 775 Support Arm on pipe so end of
tang is in line with end of the pipe (Figures 4 & 5) .
Make sure jaws squarely contact pipe and tighten
handle firmly to prevent the slipping of the jaws.
To avoid serious injury from losing control
of the Power Drive, a support arm should be used when
threading one inch or larger pipe.
If the No. 775 Support Arm is not available or cannot be
properly attached to the pipe, a pipe wrench may be used
by securing the wrench to the pipe and contacting the
Power Drive’s auxiliary handle
(Figure 6) . Position wrench
a sufficient distance from the Power Drive to allow for
the desired length of thread to be cut.
When threading pipe less than one inch in size without a
support arm, hold onto the Power Drive firmly with one
hand to exert pressure against the handle forces devel-
oped during threading.

5. Place Die Head over end of pipe.
To avoid serious injury, make sure Power
Drive is correctly positioned on support arm (Figures 4, 5
& 6) . For right hand threads, Die Head will rotate clockwise
(looking at the face of the Die Head). Forces developed by
the threading torque will be in the opposite or counter-
clockwise direction.
6. Simultaneously actuate the switch button and exert
pressure against the Die Head with the palm of free
hand to make sure thread is started. Apply plenty of
thread cutting oil to the dies during threading. This will
reduce the torque required to thread and improve
the thread quality.
7. Keep switch depressed until end of the pipe is even
with edge of the dies and release the switch button.
8. Back off the Die Head from the threaded pipe by
actuating the switch button in the reverse direction.
To avoid injury, hold onto the Power Drive
handle firmly to resist handle forces developed while
backing off the Die Head.
9. When dies clear the end of the pipe, grip the handle
on top of the Power Drive and remove the Power
Drive and Die Head from the pipe.
10. Remove the support arm from the pipe and the pipe
from the vise.
To avoid injury, make sure long sections of
pipe are supported at the end farthest away from the
vise prior to removal.
11. Clean up any oil spills or splatter on the ground sur-
rounding the vise and oiler.
