916 Roll Groover

Tool Use and Care

• Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or

OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before

making any adjustments, changing accessories, or

storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in

the hands of untrained users.

• Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-

tion that may affect the tools operation. If dam -

aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended by

the manufacturer for your model. Acces sories that

may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous

when used on another tool.

• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and

grease. Allows for better control of the tool.

Service

• Tool service must be performed only by qualified

repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed

by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.

• When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-

ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance

Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or

failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a

risk of electrical shock or injury.

Specific Safety Information

WARNING

Read this operator’s manual carefully before using

the Roll Groover. Failure to understand and follow

the contents of this manual may result in electrical

shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

Call the Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service

Department at (800) 519-3456 if you have any questions.

Foot Switch Safety

Using a threading machine or power drive without

a foot switch increases the risk of serious injury.

A foot switch provides better control by letting you

shut off the motor by removing your foot. If cloth-

ing should become caught in the machine, it will

continue to wind up, pulling you into the machine.

Because the machine has high torque, the clothing

itself can bind around your arm or other body

parts with enough force to crush or break bones.

Roll Groover Safety

• Roll Groovers are made to groove pipe and tub-

ing. 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.

• Never groove pipe shorter than what is recom-

mended. Increases risk of fingers being crushed by

grooving rolls.

• 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.

• Be sure groover is properly secured to the power

drive or threading machine. Carefully follow the set-

up 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.

• 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.

• Lock foot switch when not in use.

(See Figure 1.)

Avoids accidental starting.
