1. Make sure machine is unplugged and the directional switch is set to the OFF position.
2. Make sure the foot switch is present and attached to the machine.
3. Inspect the power cord and plug for damage. If the plug has been modified, is missing the groun-
ding pin or if the cord is damaged, do not use the machine until the cord has been replaced.
4. Make sure the Roll Groover is properly attached to the power drive. Drive bar must be centered and
securely held in the front chuck.
5. Inspect the Roll Groover for any broken, missing, misaligned or binding parts as well as any other
conditions which may affect the safe and normal operation of this equipment. If any of these condi-
tions are present, do not use the Roll Groover until any problem has been repaired.
6. Lubricate the Roll Groover if necessary according to the Maintenance Instructions.
7. Use groover rolls and accessories that are designed for your Roll Groover and meet the needs of
your job. The correct groover tools and accessories allow you to do the job successfully and safely.
Accessories suitable for use with other equipment may be hazardous when used with this Roll
Groover.
8. Clear any oil, grease or dirt from all equipment handles and controls. This reduces the risk of injury
due to a tool or control slipping from your grip.
9. Inspect the groove rolls to insure they are not damaged or worn. Worn groover rolls can lead to pipe
slippage and poor quality grooves.
1. Pipe ends must be cut square. Do not use cutting torch.
2. Pipe out-of-roundness must not exceed the total O.D. tolerance listed in groove specifications.
NOTE! Determine out-of-roundness by measuring maximum and minimum O.D. at 90 degrees
apart.
3. All internal or external weld beads, flash or seams must be ground flush at least 2" back from
pipe end.
NOTE! Do not cut flats on gasket seat area.
