Using a large slotted
screwdriver and a ³/

"
wrench, loosen the hex
nut located on the top of
the adjustment shaft
protruding from the top
of the groover head.
Remove the quick release pin
by grasping the ring located on
the end of the pin and pulling
straight up.
Loosen and remove the socket
cap screw to remove the hinged
collar from around the bottom
roll shaft at the back of the
groover base ( 3/16" allen wrench).
Cradle one hand under the
top roll and pull the top roll
shaft out from the front.
CAUTION:
The top roll is
heavy. Brace your hand to
receive the weight of this
component. As the shaft
disengages, the top roll
will fall into your hand.
Remove the top roll from between the front and back plates of the grooving
head. If the bottom roll has been removed, lower the roll out of the grooving
head. If the bottom roll has not been removed (8"-12" and 14"-16" roll
removal), raise the roll out of the grooving head.
Screw the 1/4" - 20 thumb
screw (same one that is used to
secure the depth gauges to the
main housing) into the tapped
hole in the top shaft.
Release the Ridgid

300 chuck
jaws from around the tailpiece
