Machine Set-Up
Performance Tips
Simplicity of design and operation have made the
RIDGID No. 1224 Threading Machine easy to set up and
use. Following the points below will provide the best
performance.
1. Use sharp dies at all times. Dull dies require more
power from motor and produce poor threads.
2. Always use RIDGID Thread Cutting Oil. Specially
formulated for thread cutting, it increases die life and
improves thread quality.
3. Support long lengths of pipe with a RIDGID Pipe
Stand.
4. Grease main shaft bearings every six months or
more often if the unit is subject to hard usage. (One
grease fitting on each end of base; under top cover).
Use a good grade of cup grease. (Figure 31)
5. RIDGID 1224 Machines are furnished with 120 or 240
volt, 60 Hz Motors, single-phase only. Note color
coding of wires. Black: line; white: neutral; Green:
ground. RIDGID Model No. 1224 machines are also
furnished with 240, 220 or 115 volt, 50 Hz motors, sin-
gle-phase only. Note color coding of wires. Brown:
line; blue: neutral; green/yellow: earth.
6. Plug cord into any outlet which carries the same
voltage as the motor (check nameplate). Be sure
the motor and power supply are the same. Fifteen
feet of oil resisting cord is furnished with the ma-
chine. Smaller gauge extension cords will cause a
voltage drop and prevent efficient operation. Use
only approved three conductor extension cords.

7. Use only 15 ampere fuses minimum for 115V and
120V and 10 ampere fuses minimum for 220V and
240V.
Machine Bench/Stand
Mounting and Transporting
The RIDGID Model No. 1224 Pipe and Bolt Threading
Machine is designed to be bench or stand mounted.
Three stands are available including a four leg stand with
tray and a two wheel stand with enclosed cabinet and a
two wheel stand with tray.

Mounting Machine On Bench

To mount the unit on a bench, use four
provided at each corner of machine base. Base dimen-
sions are shown in Figure 2.
Transporting No. 1224 Machine
1. When a forklift is available, use a sling through the
spindle to lift machine. (Figure 3A)
2. If machine is on a No. 100 Leg Stand, a forklift can be
used without as sling. (Figure 3B)
