OPERATOR SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
The VE460 is designed only for roll grooving
pipe. Use of these tools requires dexterity
and mechanical skills, as well as sound safety
habits. Although these tools are manufactured
for safe, dependable operation, it is impossible
to anticipate all combinations of circumstances
that could result in an accident. The following
instructions are recommended for safe operation
of these tools. The operator is cautioned to
always practice “safety first” during each phase
of use, including setup and maintenance. It is
the responsibility of the owner, lessee, or user
of these tools to ensure that all operators read
this manual and fully understand the operation
of these tools.
Read this manual before operating or servicing
these tools. Become familiar with the tool’s
operations, applications, and limitations. Be
particularly aware of its specific hazards. Store
this manual in a clean area where it is always
readily available. Additional copies of this
manual are available upon request through
Victaulic.
1. The VE460 tool is designed ONLY for roll
grooving pipe sizes, materials, and wall
thicknesses listed in the applicable “Tool
Rating and Roll Selection” section.
2. Avoid using the tool in dangerous
environments.
Do not expose the tool
to rain, and do not use the tool in damp
or wet locations. Do not use the tool on
sloped or uneven surfaces. Keep the work
area well lit. Allow sufficient space to
operate the tool properly.
3. Ground the tool to protect the operator
from electric shock.
Tool components are
grounded to the frame of the tool. Make
sure the frame is grounded properly.
4. Prevent back injury.
During tool setup,
one person cannot safely handle the pipe
stabilizer assembly due to its weight. Two
people are needed to safely lift and handle
the stabilizer assembly. An alternative is to
use a hoist to lift the stabilizer assembly
into position.
