Machine Inspection

WARNING
Do not use this Roll Groover with a power drive
that does not have a foot switch.
To prevent serious injury, inspect your Roll Groover
and Power Drive. The following inspection proce-
dures should be performed on a daily basis:
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 grounding
pin or if the cord is damaged, do not use the machine
until the cord has been replaced.
4. Make sure the two support arms are properly secured
into the roll groover body.
5. Drive shaft must be centered and securely held in the
front chuck.
6. Inspect the Roll Groover for any broken, missing,
misarranged or binding parts as well as any other
conditions which may affect the safe and normal
operation of this equipment. If any of these conditions
are present, do not use the Roll Groover until any
problem has been repaired.
7. Lubricate the Roll Groover if necessary according
to the Maintenance Instructions.
8. Use groover rolls and accessories that are designed
for your Roll Groover and meet the needs of your
application. The correct groover tools and acces-
sories allow you to do the job successfully and safe-
ly. Accessories designed for use with other equipment
may be hazardous when used with this Roll Groover.
9. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from all handles and
controls. This reduces the risk of injury due to a tool
or control slipping from your grip.
10. Inspect the groove rolls to insure they are not dam-
aged or worn. Worn groover rolls can lead to pipe slip-
page and poor quality grooves.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up

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.
