• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the switch ON invites accidents
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions.
• Roll Groover is made to groove pipe and tubing. Follow instructions in Operator's Manual on machine
uses. Other uses may increase the risk of injury.
• Keep hands away from grooving rolls. Do not wear loose fitting gloves when operating unit. Fingers could
get caught between grooving and drive rolls.
• Keep guards in place. Do not operate the groover with guard removed. Exposure to grooving rolls may
result in entanglement and serious injury.
• Set-up Groover on a flat, level surface. Be sure the machine, stand, and groover are stable. Will prevent
tipping of the unit.
• Do not wear loose clothing. Keep sleeves and jackets buttoned. Do not reach across the machine or
pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe resulting in entanglement and serious injury.
• Do not use this Roll Groover with a Power Drive or Threading Machine that does not have a foot switch.
Foot switch is a safety device to prevent serious injury.
• When grooving pipe, keep hands away from the end of the pipe. Do not reach inside pipe end. Will
prevent being cut on sharp edges and burrs.
• Be sure groover is properly secured to the power drive or threading machine. Carefully follow the setup
procedures. Will prevent tipping of the pipe or grooving unit.
• Properly support pipe with pipe stands. Use two pipe stands to groove pipe over 36" long. Prevents
tipping of the unit.
• Use only power drives and threading machines that operate under 58 RPM. Higher speed machines
increase the risk of injury.
The Heavy Duty Roll Groover forms rolled grooves in steel, stainless steel tubing. The grooves are formed
by the hydraulic feeding of a grooving roll into the pipe which is supported by a drive roll.
The Roll Groover includes two (2) groove and drive shaft sets that can groove the following pipe:
• 2" – 6" Schedule 10 and 40
• 8" – 12" Schedule 10 and 8" Schedule 40
Do not use to groove 8" schedule 40 steel pipe harder than 150 BHN. Doing so may result in
improperly formed grooves that do not meet required specifications.
