VE272SFS Roll Grooving Tool
ROLL GUARD ADJUSTMENT
VE272SFS guards must be adjusted every
time rolls are changed or when the pipe/tub-
ing size or wall thickness is different from
pipe/tubing that was grooved previously.
1.
Make sure the proper roll set is installed
on the tool for the pipe/tubing size and mate-
rial that will be grooved. Roll sets are marked
with the pipe/tubing size/part number, and
they are color-coded for the pipe material. Re-
fer to the "Tool Rating and Roll Selection" sec-
tion, starting on page 39. If the proper rolls are
not installed on the tool, refer to the "Roll
Changing" section on page 23.
2.
Loosen the wing nuts, and move the roll
guards to the full-up position. Tighten the
wing nuts.
3.
Set the groove diameter stop to the pipe/
tubing size and schedule/thickness that will
be grooved. To set the groove diameter stop,
back off the depth adjuster lock, align the
depth adjuster with the proper diameter and
thickness, and lock the setting in position with
the depth adjuster lock.
4.
If the tool is equipped with a stabilizer,
retract the stabilizer, if necessary, to insert the
pipe. To retract the stabilizer, loosen the sta-
blizer locking handle, and retract the stabiliz-
er roller with the hand wheel to provide
clearance for the pipe when it is inserted onto
the lower roll.
5.
Insert a length of pipe/tubing of the cor-
rect size and schedule/ thickness over the
lower roll with the pipe/tubing end against the
lower roll backstop flange. Refer to the "Pipe/
Tubing Preparation" section on page 11.
WARNING
• Before making any tool adjustments, always turn
the switch on the power drive to the “OFF” position,
or disconnect the power cord from the electrical
source.
Accidental startup of the tool could result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING
Grooving rolls can crush or cut
fingers and hands.
• Loading and unloading pipe/tub-
ing will place your hands close to
the rollers. Make sure your hands
are away from the rollers when
the machine is running.
• Never groove pipe/tubing that is
shorter than the recommended
lengths listed in this manual.
