6.
Insert a length of pipe/tubing that is the
correct size and thickness onto the lower roll.
Make sure the pipe/tubing end contacts the
lower-roll backstop flange completely. If the
pipe/tubing is being supported with a pipe
stand, remove hands from the pipe/tubing.
7.
Close the hand pump valve by turning
the knob
clockwise
.
8.
Use the hand pump to bring the upper
roll down into firm contact with the pipe/tub-
ing.
8a.
If grooving a short length of pipe/tubing
(refer to Table 1 on page 12 for require-
ments), remove hands from the pipe/tubing.
9.
Depress and hold down the safety foot-
switch pedal. The pipe/tubing will begin to ro-
tate clockwise. As the pipe/tubing rotates, be-
gin the grooving process by slowly pumping
the handle of the hand pump.
10.
Continue the grooving process until the
depth stop makes firm contact with the top of
the tool body. Continue to rotate the pipe/tub-
ing for one to three revolutions to ensure
groove completion.
11.
Release the safety foot switch pedal, and
withdraw foot from the safety foot switch.
NOTICE
• DO NOT pump the handle too fast. The rate should
be sufficient to groove the pipe/tubing and maintain
an audible, moderate-to-heavy load on the power
drive motor.
WARNING
• DO NOT place hands inside the pipe/tubing end or
in the area of the grooving rolls or stabilizer roller
while the pipe/tubing is still rotating.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in
serious personal injury.
