Threading Pipe with No. 610 Die Head
NOTE! The 610 or 610A Die Head is designed for use
ONLY with the 1210 Threading Machine. These
die heads are NOT compatible with any other
RIDGID threading equipment. No other RIDGID
die heads will fit on the Model 1210 Threading
Machine.
1. Check to insure the cutter and reamer are to the rear
of the carriage (Figure 10).
2. Lower die head into threading position.
3. Check that the proper size dies are in the die head.
Distinct die sets are required for

diameters.
4. Set die head to proper size and rotate throwout lever
to CLOSED position.
NOTE! Refer to the section on the 610 Die Head for in-
structions on changing dies and adjusting for
proper size.
5. With the control switch in the ON position, step on
foot switch and feed the carriage handwheel to-
wards the pipe. Slight pressure on the handwheel will
start dies.
NOTE! Coolant flow will begin automatically during
threading. COOLANT FLOW WILL BE CON-
TINUOUS STREAM OF DROPS! In addition to
producing better quality threads, coolant will cool
the workpiece through evaporation.
6. When thread is complete, rotate throwout lever to
OPEN position, retracting dies.
7. Remove foot from foot switch.
8. Check the thread length and depth (Figure 18).
NOTE! Slight die head depth adjustment may be nec-
essary due to variations in the pipe fittings.
