3. 

Depress the safety foot switch, observe the 

lower roll’s rotational direction, then release the 
safety foot switch.

4. 

Proper rotation of the lower roll is 

clockwise

 

when viewed from the front of the tool. If 
rotation is clockwise, power hookup is complete.

5. 

If rotation of the lower roll is 

counterclockwise, turn the power switch on 
the side of the tool to the “OFF” position and 
proceed with the following steps.

 WARNING

•  Always turn off the main power supply 

to the tool before making any tool 
adjustments.

Failure to follow this instruction could result 
in serious personal injury.

6a. 

Lift and secure the lockout mechanism. 

6b. 

Turn off the main power supply to the tool 

(main breaker panel, knife switch, etc.). Lock 
the switch in the “OFF” position to prevent 
accidental engagement. 

NOTE:

 Victaulic does not supply this lockout 

mechanism.

7. 

Reverse any two of the three power leads 
at the power source.

8. 

Turn on the main power supply to the tool 
(main breaker panel, knife switch, etc.).

9. 

Follow steps 1 to 3 to check rotational 
direction of the lower roll. If rotational 
direction is not clockwise, contact Victaulic. 
If rotational direction is clockwise, the 
power hookup procedure is complete.
