WARNING
Grooving rolls can crush or
cut fingers and hands.
• Always turn off the main
power supply to the tool
before making any tool
adjustments.
• Loading/unloading pipe will place your
hands close to the rollers. Keep hands
away from the grooving rolls and the
roller on the pipe stabilizer during
operation.
• Never reach inside the pipe ends or
across the tool or pipe during operation.
• Always groove pipe in a CLOCKWISE
direction.
• Never groove pipe that is shorter than
the recommended lengths listed in this
manual.
• Never wear loose clothing, loose gloves,
or anything that can become entangled
in moving parts.
10. Insert a length of pipe that is the correct
size and thickness onto the lower roll.
Make sure the pipe end contacts the lower-
roll backstop flange completely. Remove
hands from the pipe.
11. The operator should be positioned, as
shown above.
12. To start the grooving operation, depress
and hold down the safety foot switch. This
will advance the upper roll into contact with
the pipe. The lower roll will start rotating,
and the groove will begin to form.
13. During the grooving operation, visually
check the tracking of the pipe as it rotates.
Make sure the pipe remains against the
lower-roll backstop flange. If the pipe
does not stay in contact with the lower-roll
backstop flange, stop the tool by releasing
the safety foot switch, and withdraw
foot from the switch. Make sure pipe is
positioned properly (refer to the “Long Pipe
Lengths” section). Repeat steps 10 - 12.
