ROLL CHANGING

INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL 
OF SLIDE SPACER
(2 - 3

¹⁄₂

")

Slide/Upper Roll must return to its maximum
upper position prior to changing rolls. The
Slide Spacer will limit the travel of the Slide.

1.

 Set power switch to the “ON” position.

2.

 Flip toggle switch to the “Jog” position.

NOTICE

Groove diameter should be correct for the diameter
and wall thickness of pipe for which it was set under
Groove Diameter Stop Adjustment. Groove diameter
should be checked and adjusted as necessary to
ensure grooves are within specification.

NOTICE

Vic-Easy Series 414 roll grooving tools are designed
for fast, easy grooving. Rolls accommodate several
pipe sizes (refer to Tool Rating and Roll Selection on
pages 33 and 34) eliminating the need for frequent roll
changes. When a different size range is encountered
or special grooving styles are required, the grooving
rolls must be changed and Pre-Operation Adjustments
performed again. Also, different pipe materials may
require that the rolls be changed. Refer to Tool Rating
and Roll Selection, pages 33 and 34, for proper roll
selection.

3.

 With operator on the switch side of the tool,

use the safety foot switch to bring the upper
roll down into firm contact with the pipe.

4.

 Withdraw foot from safety foot switch. Slide/

Upper Roll will remain in the down position.
