Why is my RIDGID 258 Cutter motor overheating?
If the RIDGID Cutter motor is overheating, it might be due to continuous operation causing an overload; allow the power drive to cool down after extended use. Another possible cause is insufficient cooling air; clean the air-vent opening of the motor to improve ventilation.
What to do if the pipe does not rotate in the RIDGID 258?
If the pipe isn't rotating in the RIDGID Cutter, it could be that the cutter wheel hasn't been preloaded with 2 or 3 pumps before starting the 700 power drive; pump 2 to 3 strokes on the foot pump after the cutter wheel contacts the pipe before starting the 700 Power Drive. Alternatively, the cutter wheel may not be properly assembled; ensure the cutter wheel is free to rotate in either direction in the hub assembly.
