ROLL CHANGING
The VE106 Groove-N-Go roll grooving tool is
designed with rolls to accommodate several
pipe/tubing sizes, which eliminates the need
for frequent roll changes.
In addition, different pipe/tubing materials
may require different rolls. For proper roll
selection, refer to the "Tool Rating and Roll Se-
lection" section, starting on page 28.
LOWER ROLL/MAIN SHAFT
REMOVAL
When preparing to groove stainless steel
pipe, copper tubing, or “ES” grooves, the low-
er roll/main shaft for carbon steel pipe must
be removed.
In preparation for either copper tubing or “ES”
grooves, the carbon steel upper roll must also
now be removed (see "Upper Roll Removal"
section on page 21 and "Upper Roll Installa-
tion" section on page 21). The upper roll must
be installed first prior to locating the lower roll
shaft in the tool body.

Raise the upper roll arm to its maximum
position by rotating the feed screw
counter-
clockwise
.
2.
Loosen and remove the
3

and lock washer at the rear of the shaft.

nect the power cord from the electrical source.

personal injury.
WARNING
DO NOT strike the roll with a ham-
mer or other blunt object. Striking
the roll can cause fragmentation,
resulting in serious personal injury.
• Always wear safety glasses.
• Use only the supplied punch for
roll removal.
• Never strike the roll directly for
any reason.
