RIDGID PH-60C Swiv-L-Punch Manuals

Inspection/Maintenance Inspect the Punch Head before each use for issues that could affect safe use. 1. With the battery removed from the tool, depress the QCS sleeve and remove the head. 2. Clean the head and remove all dirt, oil, grease, and debris to aid in inspection and improve control. Pay close attention to the QCS cou- pling to ensure there is no debris to damage the coupling. Ensure that the threaded hole is free of debris. 3. Inspect the head for: • Proper assembly and completeness. • Wear, corrosion or other damage. Dim- ples in the grooves of the QCS coupling are normal with use and are not consid- ered damage. • Oil Leaks. If the draw stud piston ex- tends past the tool face (Figure 2), the oil is low. Have the punch head serviced – do not attempt to add oil. • Presence and readability of head mark- ings. If any issues are found, do not use head until corrected. 4. Inspect the electrical tool and any other equipment being used as directed in their instructions. Make sure other knockout components are in good working condition. 5. The QCS coupling is lubricated for life at the factory and does not require any further lubrication. Do not disassemble the Punch Head. Unit contains compressed spring. WARNING Read and understand these instructions, the electrical tool instruc- tions, and the warn- ings and instruc tions for all equipment and material being used before operating this tool to reduce the risk of serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! • Keep your fingers and hands away from the punch head during the punch cycle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed, fractured or amputated if they are caught between the punch dies or the compo- nents and any other object. • This head is not insulated for use on or near energized conduc- tors. Use of this head on or near energized conductors may lead to electrical shock, causing severe injury or death. • Large forces are generated during product use that can break or throw parts and cause injury. Stand clear during use and wear ap- propriate protective equipment, including eye protection. • Do not handle punch head while punching. The punch head con- tains high pressure oil during punching. High pressure oil escaping from punch head can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If oil is injected under the skin, seek immediate medical attention. • Never repair a damaged head. A head that has been welded, ground, drilled or modified in any manner can break during use. Only replace components as indicated in these instructions. Discard dam- aged heads to reduce the risk of injury. • Only use a PH-60C Swiv-L-Punch™ Head with a RIDGID® RE 6 or RE 60 Electrical Tool. Use of other tools with this head may damage the head, tool, draw stud, punch dies, or result in serious injury.

Description The RIDGID® Swiv-L-Punch™ Head is designed for use with punches and dies (such as knockout punches) to punch holes through sheet ma- terials such as mild or stainless steel. The Punch Head attaches to the RIDGID RE 6 or RE 60 Electrical Tool equipped with the RIDGID QuickChange System™ Coupling (QCS™) and includes 360 degrees of articulation. Combined, these allow for bet- ter access in tight areas.

Inspection/Maintenance Inspect the Punch Head before each use for issues that could affect safe use. 1. Remove battery from electrical tool. 2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the tool and head, including han- dles and controls. This aids inspection and helps prevent the ma- chine from slipping from your grip. 3. Inspect the head for: • Proper assembly and completeness. • Wear, corrosion or other damage. • Oil Leaks. If the draw stud piston ex- tends past the tool face (Figure 2), the oil is low. Have the punch head serviced – do not attempt to add oil. • Presence and readability of head mark- ings. • See electrical tool manual for inspec- tion and maintenance of the QCS cou- pling. If any issues are found, do not use head until corrected. 4. Inspect the electrical tool and any other equipment being used as directed in their instructions. Make sure other knockout components are in good working condition. 5. Lubricate the head pivot points with a light weight general purpose lubricating oil. Wipe off any excess oil. Set Up/Operation These instructions are generalized for many types of knockout punches and dies. Follow the specific instructions for the set up and operation of the knockout punch and die being used. 1. Determine the thickness and type of material to be punched. Make sure there is only a single thickness of material to be punched. De- termine the hole size you wish to punch. Select the appropriate matched punch and die set per manufacturer’s specifications. 2. Make sure all equipment is inspected and set up per manufacturer’s instructions. 3. Mark the hole location and if needed drill a pilot hole 1/8" (3 mm) larger than the draw stud (E.g. for a 3/4" draw stud, drill a 7/8" (22 mm) pilot hole.) 4. Remove battery from electrical tool. Thread the draw stud com- pletely into the Punch Head unit. The thread must be fully engaged to ensure proper operation, but does not need to be tight. 5. Place any needed spacer(s) over the draw stud, followed by the punch die. Place the cupped half of the die facing away from the tool. 6. Insert the draw stud through the pilot hole in the material to be punched. 7. Thread the matching punch half of the die onto the draw stud with the cutting edges toward the material. Tighten by hand until there are no gaps between the head, spacer(s), die, material and punch. If there are gaps between the parts, the dies will not be square to the material and could damage the equipment or cause injury. A thread adapter is available for use with punches with 11/8" - 12 threads to convert for use with ¾" - 16 UNF draw studs. Fully thread adapter into the punch as shown in Figure 3 inset. Figure 3 – Setting Up The Punch Head Make sure that the punch is fully threaded onto the draw stud. Do not operate with the punch partially threaded onto the draw stud, this could damage the stud. If the punch will not fully thread onto the draw stud, a spacer may need to be removed. 8. Changing Heads with QCS Coupling – See electrical tool manual. WARNING Read and understand these instructions, the electrical tool instruc- tions, and the warn- ings and instruc tions for all equipment and material being used before operating this tool to reduce the risk of serious personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! • Keep your fingers and hands away from the punch head during the punch cycle. Your fingers or hands can be crushed, fractured or amputated if they are caught between the punch dies or the compo- nents and any other object. • Do not use on energized electrical lines to reduce the risk of elec- trical shock, severe injury and death. Tool is not insulated. Use appropriate work procedures and personal protective equipment when working near energized electrical lines. • Large forces are generated during product use that can break or throw parts and cause injury. Stand clear during use and wear ap- propriate protective equipment, including eye protection. • Do not handle punch head while punching. The punch head con- tains high pressure oil during punching. High pressure oil escaping from punch head can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If oil is injected under the skin, seek immediate medical attention. • Never repair a damaged head.
