•Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified
NOTICE
DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
* The text used in the General Safety Rules section of this manual is verbatim, as required, from the applicable UL/CSA 62841-
1 standard. This section contains general safety practices for many different types of power tools. Not every precaution ap-
plies to every tool, and some do not apply to these tools.

•Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove 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 power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•aintain 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 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 maintained 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 oper-
ations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous 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.
Battery Tool Use And Care
•Recharge only with the charger speci-
fied by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may
create a risk of fire when used with an-
other battery pack.
•Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
•When a battery pack is not in use, keep
it away from other metal objects, like
paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or
other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to an-
other. Shorting the battery terminals to-
gether may cause burns or a fire.
ing a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while operat-
ing power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
•Use personal protective equipment. Al -
ways wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protec-
tion 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 bat-
tery 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 turning 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 unex-
pected situations.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewelry. 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 connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection fa-
cilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
•Do not let familiarity gained from fre-
quent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety prin-
ciples. 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 de-
signed.
•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.

cle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed,
fractured or amputated if they become
caught between the attachment or between
these components and any other object.
•Never attempt to repair damaged press-
ing attachments (jaws, press ring, actu-
ator, etc.). Discard the entire damaged
attachment. An attachment that has been
welded, ground, drilled or modified in any
manner can shatter during pressing re-
sulting in serious injury. Failure to replace
the entire pressing attachment may result in
component failure and serious injury.
•Large forces are generated during prod-
uct use that can break or throw parts
and cause injury. Stand clear during use
and wear appropriate protective equip-
ment, including eye protection.
•Only use RIDGID Press Tools with ap-
propriate RIDGID pressing attachments
(jaws, press ring, actuator, etc.). Other
uses or modifying the Press Tools for other
applications may damage the press tool,
damage the attachments and/or cause per-
sonal injury.
•Use proper tool, attachment and fitting
combinations. Improper combinations
can result in an incomplete joint, which in-
crease the risk of leaks, equipment dam-
age and injury.

Description
The RIDGID®RP 240 Press Tool, when used
with appropriate attachments, is designed to
mechanically press fittings onto tubing to create
a water-tight and permanent seal, such as for
plumbing and heating applications. Attach -
ments are also available for other uses.
When the run switch on the press tool is de-
pressed, an internal electric motor powers a
hydraulic pump which sends fluid into the
cylinder of the tool, moving the ram forward
and applying force to the attachment, pressing
the fitting. The press cycle takes approximately
5 seconds. Once the cycle begins to deform a
fitting, it will automatically continue until comple-
tion, even if the run switch is released.

Sécurité de la sertisseuse
•Eloignez vos doigts et vos mains des
têtes de sertissage durant le cycle de
fonctionnement de l’appareil. Les doigts
et les mains risquent d’être écrasés, frac-
turés ou amputés s’ils se prennent dans la
tête ou entre la tête et tout autre objet.
•Ne jamais tenter de réparer d’élément
de tête (mâchoires, bagues de sertis-
sage actionneurs, etc.) endommagés.
Remplacez l’élément endommagé au
complet. Tout élément qui aurait été soudé,
meulé percé ou modifié de manière quel-
conque risquerait d’éclater en cours de ser-
outils de coupe. Des outils de coupe
correctement entretenus et affutés sont
moins susceptibles de se gripper et sont
plus faciles à contrôler.
•Utilisez l’appareil, ses accessoires et
ses outils selon les consignes ci-pré -
sentes, tout en tenant compte des con-
ditions de travail existantes et de la na-
ture des travaux envisagés. Toute utilisa-
tion de l’appareil à des fins autres que
celles prévues augmenterait les risques

fabricant. L’utilisation d’un chargeur adapté
à un autre type de bloc-piles augmenterait
les risques d’incendie.
•Utilisez exclusivement le type de bloc-
piles prévu pour l’appareil en question.
L’utilisation de tout autre type de bloc-piles
augmenterait les risques de blessure et
d’incendie.
•Eloignez les bloc-piles non utilisés des
autres objets métalliques tels que trom-
bones, pièces de monnaie, clés, clous,
vis ou autres petits objets métalliques
qui risqueraient de faire contact entre
les bornes du bloc-piles. Un tel court-cir-
cuit pourrait provoquer des brûlures ou un in-
cendie.
•En cas d’abus, un bloc-piles risque de
déverser son électrolyte liquide. Evitez
tout contact avec celui-ci. En cas de contact
accidentel avec ce liquide, rincez à grande
eau. En cas de contact oculaire, faites appel
à un médecin. L’électrolyte liquide peut
provoquer des irritations et des brûlures.
•N’utilisez pas un bloc-piles ou appareil
endommagé ou modifié. Les bloc-piles
endommagés peuvent réagir de manière
imprévisible et provoquer des incendies,
des explosions ou des blessures cor-
porelles.
•N’exposez ni les bloc-piles, ni l’appareil
aux flammes ou à des températures ex-
cessives. Leur exposition aux flammes ou

Description
Equipées des éléments de tête appropriés,
la sertisseuse RID ID®RP 240 assure le ser-
tissage étanche et permanant des raccords de
tuyaux de plomberie et de chauffage. Il existe
aussi des éléments de tête destinés à d’autres
applications.
Lorsque l’on appui sur la gâchette de la sertis-
seuse, son moteur électrique interne actionne
une pompe hydraulique qui, à son tour, envoi
du fluide hydraulique vers le cylindre de l’ap-
pareil pour faire avancer le vérin contre l’acces-
soire qui, lui, comprime le raccord. Ce cycle de
sertissage dure environ 5 secondes. Lorsque
le cycle est entamé, il continue automatique-
ment jusqu’à ce que le raccord soit complète-
ment serti, même si l’on lâche la gâchette.
Le témoin d’état de fonctionnement de l’ap-
pareil indique, entre-autre, une température
incorrecte, un bloc-piles déchargé ou un be-
soin de révision. L’appareil est équipé d’un
éclairage ciblé qui s’allume dès que l’on appui
sur la gâchette. La tête de l’appareil est ori-
entable afin d’en faciliter l’accès aux endroits
restreints.
L’appareil est équipé d’un anneau en tissue qui
peut éventuellement servir à accrocher une
bretelle ou une lanière de sécurité appropriée.
Ces sertisseuses sont équipées du système
Bluetooth®afin de permettre leur liaison aux
smartphones et tablettes. Consultez le chapitre
« Fonctions Bluetooth (transfert de données à
distance) » pour plus de détails.
tissage et provoquer de graves blessures. Le
non remplacement d’un élément de sertis-
sage au complet pourrait entraîner la défail-
lance de l’élément et de graves blessures
corporelles.
•L’importance des forces générées par
l’appareil est suffisante pour briser et
projeter des objets de manière dange -
reuse. Eloignez tout personnel non es-
sentiel de la zone d’intervention. Tenez-
vous à l’écart en cours d’opération et pré -
voyez les équipements de sécurité indi-
viduelle appropriés, protection oculaire com-
prise.
•N’utilisez les sertisseuses RIDGID qu’a -
vec les éléments de tête (mâchoires,
bagues de sertissage, actionneurs, etc.)
RIDGID appropriés. L’utilisa tion de l’ap-
pareil à d’autres fins ou sa modification en
vue d’applications non prévues pourrait en-
dommager la sertisseuse et sa tête, voire
occasionner des blessures corporelles.
•Utilisez les combinaisons d’appareil,
d’élé ments de tête et de raccord appro-
priées. Une mauvaise combinaison de ces
éléments risquerait de compromettre l’inté-
gralité du sertissage qui, à son tour, aug-
menterait les risques de fuites et de
blessure corporelle.
•Avant d’utiliser une sertisseuse RIDGID®,
familiarisez-vous avec :
– Le manuel ci-présent,
– Les instructions visant le type de tête
utilisée,
– Le manuel visant le bloc-piles et son
chargeur,
– Les consignes d’installation du fabricant
