916 Roll Groover
• Be sure that the roll groover, pipe, stands and
machine are stable. Be sure the roll groover is prop-
erly set up and secured. This will help prevent tip-
ping of the equipment and pipe. Properly support the
pipe. This will help to prevent the tipping of the pipe
and equipment.
• Properly prepare and handle pipe. Burrs and sharp
edges can catch and cut.
• One person must control the work process, ma-
chine operation and foot switch. Only the operator
should be in the work area when the machine is run-
ning. This helps reduce the risk of injury.
• Restrict access or barricade the area when work-
piece extends beyond machine to provide a mini -
mum of one meter (3 feet) clearance from the work-
piece. Restricting access or barricading the work area
around the workpiece will reduce the risk of entangle-
ment.
• Only use power drives and threading machines
that operate under 58 rpm. Higher speed machines
increase the risk of injury.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equip-
ment while setting up and using the roll groover.
Appropriate personal protective equipment always
includes eye protection and may include equipment
such as tight fitting leather gloves and steel toed footwear.
• Only use roll groover to groove pipe of recom-
mended sizes and types according to these in -
structions. Other uses or modifying the roll groover for
other applications may increase the risk of injury.
• Before operating roll groover, read and under-
stand:
• This operator's manual
• The operators' manual for Power Drive or Thread-
ing Machine
• The fitting manufacturer's installation instructions
• The instructions for any other material or equipment
used with this tool
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may
result in property damage and/or serious injury.
