Do you have a question about the RIDGID R860053 and is the answer not in the manual?

The RIDGID 18 Volt Brushless 2-Speed Drill/Driver is a versatile power tool designed for drilling and driving applications. It features a brushless motor, which typically offers increased efficiency, longer tool life, and more power compared to brushed motors. The 2-speed gearbox allows for optimized performance across a range of tasks, with a lower speed for high torque applications like driving screws and a higher speed for faster drilling.

Technical Specifications:

Voltage: 18 Volt
Motor Type: Brushless
Gearbox: 2-Speed
Chuck Type: Keyless chuck (mandrin sans clé, portabrocas de apriete sin llave)
Torque Adjustment Ring: (bague de mode de percussion, anillo selector del modo de taladrado/atornillado) for setting the desired torque for driving applications.
Direction of Rotation Selector: (sélecteur de sens de rotation, selector de sentido de rotación) for forward, reverse, and center lock positions.
Bit Storage: (rangement d’embouts, compartimento para almacenar las brocas) for convenient storage of drill bits.
Variable Speed Switch Trigger: (gâchette de commande de vitesse variable, interruptor de gatillo de velocidad variable) for precise control over drilling and driving speeds.
Battery Type: Compatible with 18V nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) and lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries.

Usage Features:

The drill/driver is designed for a wide range of applications, including drilling into wood, metal, and plastic, as well as driving various types of screws.

Installing/Removing Battery Pack: The battery pack is inserted into the base of the tool until it latches securely. To remove, depress the latches to release the battery. It is crucial to ensure the battery pack is fully seated to prevent accidental starting.
Installing/Removing Bits: The keyless chuck allows for quick and easy bit changes. To install a bit, open the chuck jaws by turning the front of the chuck counter-clockwise, insert the bit, and then tighten the chuck by turning it clockwise until the bit is securely held. To remove, reverse the process.
Adjusting Torque: The torque adjustment ring allows users to select the appropriate torque setting for the material and size of screw being used. This prevents over-driving screws or stripping screw heads. Lower settings are for small screws and soft materials, while higher settings are for larger screws and hard materials.
Selecting Direction of Rotation: The forward/reverse/center lock selector allows the user to choose the direction of rotation (forward for driving, reverse for removing) or to lock the trigger in the center position for safety during bit changes or when the tool is not in use.
Two-Speed Gear Train: The 2-speed gearbox provides flexibility for different tasks.
- LO (1) speed: This is the lower speed setting, providing higher torque for demanding applications like driving large screws or drilling through tough materials.
- HI (2) speed: This is the higher speed setting, providing faster speed for lighter drilling and driving applications.
Variable Speed Trigger: The trigger allows for precise control over the drilling/driving speed. Pressing the trigger further increases the speed. This feature is useful for starting holes slowly and gradually increasing speed.
Drilling and Driving Operations:
- Wood and Metal Drilling: For optimal performance, use high-speed steel bits for wood or metal drilling. Select drilling mode. Begin drilling at a very low speed to prevent the bit from slipping off the starting point.
- Wood Drilling: Increase speed as the drill bit bites into the material. When drilling through holes, place a block of wood behind the workpiece to prevent ragged or splintered edges.
- Metal and Steel Drilling: Use a light oil on the drill bit to keep it from overheating. Maintain a speed and pressure that allows cutting without overheating the bit.
- Overload Protection: If the tool is forced or the motor is overloaded, the tool will automatically shut off. To reset the tool, release the trigger and resume operation.
Safety Features: The manual emphasizes the importance of wearing eye protection, using appropriate personal protective equipment, and understanding the tool's operation to prevent injuries. It also highlights warnings regarding electrical safety, battery handling, and proper tool usage.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of the tool.

General Maintenance: Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, as they can damage the tool. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not expose them to extreme temperatures or moisture.
Service: When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Any other parts could create a hazard or cause product damage. For repairs or service, contact RIDGID® authorized service centers.
Storage: Store the tool in a clean, dry place, out of reach of children.
Regular Inspection: Periodically inspect the tool for any damage, loose parts, or wear. Address any issues promptly.
