NOTICE
• To perform the following adjustments, use
several short scrap sections of pipe (but
not shorter than what is recommended in
Table 1, page 11) of the proper material,
diameter and thickness to be grooved.
To achieve proper diameter:
1.
Determine the size and thickness of pipe to
be grooved . See pipe dimensions page 31 to
determine proper schedule .
2.
Locate the proper size and schedule on the
pipe size indicator above the hydraulic power
cylinder . It is rotatable for easy viewing .
3.
Back off the depth adjuster lock . Align
the depth adjuster with the proper size and
schedule as shown . Lock the depth adjuster in
position with the depth adjuster lock .
NOTICE
• The markings provide a “coarse” groove
diameter adjustment and are not “exact”
groove diameter settings. Variations in
actual pipe O.D.’s and wall thicknesses
make it impossible to calibrate the
diameter stop exactly.
4.
Using a piece of scrap pipe or short piece of
pipe (refer to the Groovable Pipe Lengths Table
on page 11) of the diameter and wall thickness
to be grooved, place the pipe over the lower roll
with the pipe end against the lower roll back
stop flange .
WARNING
Grooving rolls can crush
or cut fingers and hands.
• Keep hands away from
grooving rolls and
stabilizer wheel.
• Never reach inside pipe end or across the
tool or pipe during operation.
• Always groove pipe in a clockwise
direction only.
• Never groove pipe shorter than what is
recommended.
• Never wear loose clothing, loose gloves,
or jewelry while operating tool.
5.
Prepare a trial groove . To do so, follow the
Grooving Operation procedures outlined on page
17 .
