Loosen the wing nuts and adjust each
guard to conform to and lightly pinch the
pad against the pipe. Tighten the wing nuts
to secure each guard in position. Remove
the guard setting pad.

Prepare to support the pipe. Turn the
selector switch on the side of the tool to
the “NORMAL” position. The arm/upper roll
assembly will return to its highest position,
and the pipe will release.
CAUTION
• Use the “JOG” mode only for making
adjustments to the tool and for roll
changes. When the tool is left in “JOG”
mode with the power on, the pipe will
gradually release and fall out of the tool.
• Always turn the selector switch to the
“NORMAL” position when finished making
adjustments to the tool.
Failure to follow this instruction could result
in personal injury and property damage.
PIPE STABILIZER ADJUSTMENT
WARNING
• Always turn off the main power supply
to the tool before making any tool
adjustments.
• DO NOT reach over pipe while making
adjustments.
• DO NOT make adjustments while the tool/
pipe is in operation/motion.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in serious personal injury.
The pipe stabilizer for the VE268 is designed to
prevent sway of short and long pipe lengths in
8 to 12-inch/219.1 to 323.9-mm diameters. The
pipe stabilizer is required when grooving light-
wall stainless steel pipe and 8-inch/206.4-mm
copper tubing.
When the pipe stabilizer is adjusted for a
selected pipe size and wall thickness, it does
not require further adjustment unless pipe of a
different size and wall thickness will be grooved.
Pipe of the same size and wall thickness can be
moved in and out of the tool without retracting
the stabilizer.
