918 Roll Groover
999-998-946.10_REV D
can be crushed between groove rolls or between
groove rolls and pipe.
Keep guards in place. Do not operate the roll
groover with the guard removed. Exposure to
groove rolls may result in entanglement and seri-
ous injury.
Only groove pipe 8" (200 mm) or longer. Grooving
shorter than specied pipe can result in entangle-
ment and crushing injuries.
Do not use this roll groover with a power drive
or threading machine that does not have a foot
switch. Never block a foot switch in the ON
position so it does not control the machine. A
foot switch provides better control by letting
you shut off the machine motor by removing your
foot. If entanglement should occur and power is
maintained to the motor, you will be pulled into
the machine. This machine has high torque and
can cause clothing to bind around your am or other
body parts with enough force to crush or break
bones or cause striking or other injuries.
Be sure that the roll groover, pipe, stands and
machine are stable. Be sure the roll groover is
properly set up and secured. This will help prevent
tipping of the equipment and pipe. Properly sup-
port the pipe. This will help to prevent the tipping
of the pipe and equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Wear steel toe foot-
wear to help protect from tipping tools and falling
pipe.
Set up and operate the roll groover according to
these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from
machine tipping, entanglement, crushing, striking
and other causes, and to help prevent equipment
damage.
1. Confirm that the machine and work area is properly
set up and that the work area is free of bystanders
and other distractions. The operator should be the
only person in the area when the machine is operated.
2. Position the foot switch for proper operation as
shown in Figure 19.
3. Check the roll groover for proper operation. While
keeping your hands clear of moving parts:
Move the power drive/threading machine REV/O-
OFF/FOR switch to the REV position. Press and
release the foot switch. Drive roll should rotate
clockwise (see Figure 15) matching the pipe rota-
tion decal on the groover. If the groover does not
rotate in the correct direction, or the foot switch
does not control the machine operation, do not use
the machine until it has been repaired.
Depress and hold the foot switch. Inspect the mov-
ing parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or
any other unusual conditions. Confirm that the ma-
chine rotates less than 58 rpm. Higher speeds can
increase the risk of injury. Remove foot from the
foot switch. If any unusual conditions are found, do
not use the machine until it has been repaired.
Move the REV/O-OFF/FOR switch to the OFF po-
sition, and with dry hands unplug the machine.
Pipe Preparation
These are generalized instructions. Always
follow grooved coupling manufacturers specific recom-
mendations for pipe end preparation. Failure to follow
these recommendations may lead to an improper con-
nection and cause leaks.
1. Be aware of pipe specifications acceptable for
grooving. Out of specification pipe can cause leaks
and other issues. Pipe out-of-roundness must not
exceed total O.D. tolerance listed in the Standard Roll
Groove Specifications, Table II.
2. Cut pipe to proper length. Be aware of the minimum
pipe lengths for grooving.
5" and smaller diameter pipe should not be shorter
than 8" (200 mm) long.
6" to 12" diameter pipe should not be shorter than
10” (250 mm) long.
Grooving shorter pipe increases the risk of injury
from crushed fingers and entanglement.
3. Make sure pipe end is cut square and free of burrs.
Burrs can catch or cut gloves or fingers during
grooving. Cut off method and large burrs can affect
the quality of the groove made and tracking of the
groover. Do not attempt to groove pipe that has been
cut with a torch.
4. Remove all internal/external weld beads, flash,
seams, scale, dirt, rust and other contaminants at
least 2" back from the end of the pipe. Do not cut
flats into gasket seat area, this could cause leaks.
Contaminants can clog the drive knurls and prevent
proper driving and tracking of the pipe while grooving.
Advance/Retract The Groove Roll
The movement of the groove roll is controlled by the
hydraulic pump.
To advance the groove roll, move the pump lever to
the advance position, then move the pump handle up
and down.
To retract the groove roll, move the pump lever to the
retract position. See Figure 11.
