Einleitung

This is a guide designed for replacing a broken direction switch in a RIDGID X4 18V Litium-Ion Impact Driver. This direction switch is imperative to the functionality of the driver. The direction switch determines whether the driver is going to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise.

    • Use the flat side of a metal spudger to peel the black rubber cover off of the casing.

    • Use some force; the rubber cover is securely attached to the housing.

    • Rotate the casing until it fits onto the housing with no gaps between it and the clear cover.

    • Orientation is important when putting the rubber cover on the casing.

    • Remove the plastic cover with your hands.

    • There is no need to force off the plastic cover. The plastic cover should be much easier to remove than the rubber cover.

    • Unscrew the four 16 mm long screws from the back panel with a T10 Torx Screwdriver.

    • Use a firm grip to peel off the back panel. It is sealed tight and requires a good amount of force to remove.

    • Unscrew the eight 15 mm T10 Torx screws from the housing

    • The screw hole located nearest the battery port is deep and small. Most screwdrivers with replaceable bits will not fit into the hole. Instead, use a conventional screwdriver that fits.

    • Place the driver flat on a table before completely separating the two halves of the housing so components of the drill don't fall out during opening.

    • Pry apart the two halves of the housing at the back side of the driver using the metal spudger.

    • The housing is easier to remove if you pry from multiple sides.

    • Do not remove the direction switch.

    • Pull out all electrical components from housing by hand.

    • Lift out the motor.

    • Follow the wires.

    • The components should come out of their respective slots with ease and require little force to lift out.

    • The circuit board located nearest the battery pack and the LED light will be hard to pull out.

    • Remember to precisely place all components in their correct slots with their correct orientations when reassembling.
