General Power Tool Safety Warnings\*

WARNING

Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE!

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

- Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flam mable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

Electrical Safety

- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Un-modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refri

gerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal Safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch ON invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel ry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

Power Tool Use and Care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
• Do not use power tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

CAUTION Pipe wall thickness cannot exceed the maximum wall thickness specified in the "Pipe Maximum and Minimum Wall Thickness" Table II. Do not use to groove 8" schedule 40 steel pipe that is harder than 150 BHN.

1. Flip the switch from OFF and step on machine foot switch while applying downward pressure on the 918-l pump handle. Allow one full pipe rotation between quarter strokes of the pump handle.

WARNING If pipe begins to "walk off" the drive roll, stop the machine and check "Pipe Set-Up" procedure.

1. To help prevent "walking", apply pressure on outside of pipe with right hand (Figure 9).

⚠ WARNING Do not reach inside of pipe. Keep hands away from sharp edges and burrs on end of pipe.

NOTE! Do not overfeed upper groove roll. Maintain constant even downward pressure, pausing to allow one pipe revolution per quarter stroke of the pump handle.

1. When the depth adjustment knob contacts the machine casting, allow two complete pipe revolutions to even out groove depth.

2. Release foot switch and retract upper groove roll by placing the pump release lever in the RETURN position (toward operator).

3. Check groove diameter before proceeding with additional grooves.

Figure 9 – Grooving Pipe While Exerting Light Hand Pressure Toward Operator

NOTE! Groove diameter should be measured using a diameter tape. To decrease groove diameter (in -crease groove depth), rotate the index depth adjustment knob one mark counter-clockwise. To increase groove diameter (decrease groove depth), rotate the depth adjustment knob clockwise.

Roll Grooving Tips with Model 918-I

1. If pipe tends to "walk off" drive roll, increase offset dimension (Figure 7).
2. If drive roll flange shaves pipe end, decrease offset dimension.
3. If pipe end flare is excessive, lower pipe end to level with roll groover.
4. If pipe wobbles and/or "walks off" drive roll, raise pipe end to level with roll groover.
5. Short lengths of pipe (under three feet) may require slight pressure to maintain the 12 degree offset dimension.

Grooving Short Lengths of Pipe

Without Stabilizer

1. Properly set-up pipe to ensure pipe is level and square on the shoulder of the drive roll.
2. When grooving, exert pressure on the pipe towards the operator (Figure 9).

Do not attempt to groove any pieces of pipe shorter than 8" (See Chart A). Increases risk of fingers being crushed in the grooving rolls.

Do not reach inside of pipe. Keep hands away from sharp edges and burrs on end of pipe.

With Stabilizer

NOTE! Once stabilizer is adjusted for a selected pipe diameter and wall thickness, it does not have to be readjusted.

1. Properly set up pipe to ensure pipe is level and square on the shoulder of the drive roll.
2. Engage hydraulic pump and bring groove roll (upper roll) down until it contacts outside diameter of the pipe.
3. Tighten down stabilizer roll until roll contacts outside diameter of the pipe. Continue to tighten stabilizer one full turn after making contact on outside diameter of pipe (Figure 10).

Figure 10 – Adjusting Pipe Stabilizer

Do not reach across pipe to adjust stabilizer.

NOTE! If pipe "walks off" of drive shaft during the roll grooving operation, the stabilizer will need to be further tightened ^1/2 turn.

Do not use the pipe stabilizer on 8" or short er workpieces. Increases risk of fingers being crushed in the grooving rolls.

Removing and Installing Groove Roll and Drive Shaft

NOTE! As groove dimensions are determined by the roll set geometry, specific roll sets are required when grooving the following:

• 2" - 6" Schedule 10, 40
• 8" – 12" Schedule 10, 8" Schedule 40
• 2" – 6" Copper tubing (Types K, L, M, DWV)
• 1" Schedule 10, 40
• 1^1/4 - 1^1/2 Schedule 10, 40

Make sure machine is unplugged from power source before changing the roll sets.

⚠ WARNING When removing groove rolls and shafts, be sure they are properly supported. Failure to provide support may cause them to drop suddenly.

Removing and Installing Roll Sets with Solid Drive Shafts (2" - 6", 8" - 12")

1. Removing Groove Rolls:
