FAQs

What types of pipes can the RIDGID 238-P cut?

The RIDGID 238-P can cut No-Hub soil pipe, clay pipe, and concrete pipe within specific size ranges.

What is the maximum size of soil pipe the tool can cut?

With an impact driver, it can cut up to 200mm (8in) No-Hub soil pipe.

What kind of driver is required?

An impact driver with a minimum torque of 340Nm is recommended for optimal performance.

Can I use the tool without an impact driver?

Yes, the tool includes a ratchet for manual operation, which is suitable for cutting smaller pipe sizes and when space is restricted.

How do I maintain the cutting wheels?

Regularly inspect the cutting wheels for wear and tear. Replace them if they become dull or damaged.

What does the torque limiter do?

The torque limiter protects the tool from overloading, which can prevent damage and extend the tool's life.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts can be found through RIDGID authorized dealers or online retailers.

Troubleshooting

Cutter is not cutting through the pipe.

Check the cutting wheel condition. Ensure the impact driver has sufficient torque or apply more force when using the ratchet. Make sure you are using the correct cutter for the material.

Tool is difficult to maneuver in tight spaces.

Ensure you are using the ratchet or an impact driver with a compact design and the tool is positioned correctly for optimal access. Rotate the tool as needed.

The tool is overloading

Check the pipe size against the tool's capacity. Check the torque on the impact driver or use the ratchet more slowly. Ensure you are not forcing the cut.
