      If the RIDGID Power Tool motor doesn't start, first ensure it is properly plugged into a power source. Check for a blown fuse and replace it if necessary. Also, inspect the brushes to see if they are worn or not making contact with the armature; replace them if needed. Overload because of dull dies can also be the reason, so replace dies.

      If your RIDGID Power Tool motor isn't starting, it might be due to bad quality or insufficient thread cutting oil; use RIDGID thread cutting oil in adequate quantity. A bad contact between brushes and brush holder can also cause this issue; tighten the screws to ensure the brush is firmly pressed onto the commutator. Also, ensure that the machine is running in the correct direction by checking the setting of the direction switch.
