NOTE! RIDGID geared threaders are jam proof designed
so that pinion shaft will automatically disengage
if threader is accidentally run on pipe past a full
thread length.

8. Step on foot switch and reverse threader one or
two revolutions. Turn REV/OFF/FOR switch to OFF
position.
9. Pull cam plate knobs and rotate cam plate as far as it
will go towards CD mark on head to disengage dies.
10. Using the socket wrench, loosen jaw clamp screw,
turn workholder to OPEN position and remove pipe.
NOTE! Before threading next piece of pipe, run threader
head beyond STANDARD line on pinion sleeve
and then back to standard line. This movement
takes up slack in gearing for immediate response
when cutting next thread.
