916 Roll Groover

To avoid electrical shock and electrical fires,

never use an extension cord that is damaged or does not

meet the following requirements.

• The cord has a three-prong plug similar to shown in

Electrical Safety section.

• The cord is rated as “W” or “W-A” if being used out-

doors.

• The cord has sufficient wire thickness (14 AWG

below 25′/12AWG 25′ - 50′). If the wire thickness is

too small, the cord may overheat, melting the cord’s

insulation or causing nearby objects to ignite.

To reduce risk of electrical shock, keep

all electrical connections dry and off he ground. Do not

touch plug with wet hands.

8. Check the unit to insure it is operating properly.

• Flip the directional switch to FOR (Forward). Press

and release the foot switch. Check that the groove

roll rotates in a counterclockwise direction as you

are facing the groover. Have the power drive or

threading machine serviced if it rotates in the wrong

direction or if the foot switch does not control its

stopping or starting.

• Depress and hold the foot switch. Inspect the

moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd nois-

es or any other unusual conditions that may affect

the safe and normal operation of the machine. If

such conditions are present, have the roll groover

drive serviced.

• Check the speed of the machine to insure it rotates

under 58 RPM. Higher speed machine increases

the risk of injury.

• Flip the directional switch to REV (Reverse) (Except

1822-I and 535 Automatic machines). Press and

release the foot switch. Check that the drive roll

rotates in a clockwise direction as you are facing the

roll groover.

• Release the foot switch and flip the directional

switch to OFF.

9. Check the groove and drive rolls to insure they are the

correct size.

Use of roll sets on both carbon and stainless

steel pipe can lead to contamination of the stainless steel

material. This contamination could cause corrosion and

premature pipe failure. To prevent ferrous contamination,

use roll sets dedicated for stainless steel grooving.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up

WARNING

To prevent serious injury, proper set-up of the machine

and work area is required. The following procedures

should be followed to set-up the machine:

1. Locate a work area that has the following:

• Adequate lighting

• No flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may

ignite.

• Grounded electrical outlet

• Clear path to the electrical outlet that does not

contain any sources of heat or oil, sharp edges or

moving parts that may damage electrical cord.

• Dry place for machine and operator. Do not use

the machine while standing in water.

• Level ground

2. Clean up the work area prior to setting up any equip-

ment. Always wipe up any oil that may be present.

3. Place machine on a flat, level surface. Be sure the

machine, stand and groover are stable.

4. Properly support the pipe with pipe stands. Use two

pipe stands to groove pipe over 36″.

Failure to properly support the pipe can

result in the unit tipping or the pipe falling.

5. Make sure FOR/OFF/REV switch is in the OFF posi-

tion.

6. Position the foot switch so that the operator can

safely control the machine, roll groover and work-

piece. It should allow the operator to do the following:

• Stand with left hand on feed handle.

• Use the foot switch with his left foot.

• Have convenient access to the groover without

reaching across the machine.

Machine is designed for one person operation.

7. Plug the machine into the electrical outlet making

sure to position the power cord along the clear path

selected earlier. If the power cord does not reach

the outlet, use an extension cord in good condition.
