General Safety Information
WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
Work Area Safety
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Electric motors create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep by-standers, children, and visitors away
while operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
•Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials
such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.
Electrical Safety
•Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs. Check with a quali-
fied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should elec-
trically malfunction or break down, grounding pro-
vides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces. There
is an increased risk of electrical shock if your body is
grounded.
•Do not expose electrical tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a tool will increase the risk of
electrical shock.
•Do not abuse cord. Never use the cord to pull the
plug from an outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk
of electrical shock.
•When operating a tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords
are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of elec-
trical shock.
•Keep all extension cord connections dry and off
the ground. Do not touch plugs with wet hands.
This practice reduces the risk of electrical shock.
•Use only three-wire extension cords which have
three-prong grounding plugs and three-pole recep-
tacles which accept the tool’s plug. Use of other
extension cords will not ground the tool and increase
the risk of electrical shock.
•Use proper extension cords.
(See chart.) Insuf-
ficient conductor size will cause excessive voltage
drop and loss of power .
Personal Safety
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a tool. Do not use
tools while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medications. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
•Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
•Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is OFF
before plugging in. Plugging in tools that have the
switch ON invites accidents.
•Remove wrenches or adjusting keys before turning
the tool ON. A wrench or a key that is left attached to
a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
•Do not over-reach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
•Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection must be used for appropriate con-
ditions.

Tool Use and Care
•Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch
is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
•Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
•Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tools operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
•Use only accessories that are recommended by
the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that
may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
•Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and
grease. Allows for better control of the tool.
Service
•Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or maintenance performed
by unqualified repair personnel could result in injury.
•When servicing a tool, use only identical replace-
ment parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance
Section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts or
failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a
risk of electrical shock or injury.
Specific Safety Information
WARNING
Read this operator’s manual carefully before using
the Roll Groover. Failure to understand and follow
the contents of this manual may result in electrical
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
Call the Ridge Tool Company, Technical Service
Department at [phone] if you have any questions.
Foot Switch Safety
Using a threading machine or power drive without
a foot switch increases the risk of serious injury.
A foot switch provides better control by letting you
shut off the motor by removing your foot. If cloth-
ing should become caught in the machine, it will
continue to wind up, pulling you into the machine.
Because the machine has high torque, the clothing
itself can bind around your arm or other body
parts with enough force to crush or break bones.
Roll Groover Safety
•Roll Groovers are made to groove pipe and tub-
ing. Follow instructions in Operator's Manual on
machine uses. Other uses may increase the risk of
injury.
•Keep hands away from grooving rolls. Do not wear
loose fitting gloves when operating unit. Fingers
could get caught between grooving and drive rolls.
•Never groove pipe shorter than what is recom-
mended. Increases risk of fingers being crushed by
grooving rolls.
•Set-up groover on a flat, level surface. Be sure
the machine, stand and groover are stable. Will
prevent tipping of the unit.
•Do not wear loose clothing. Keep sleeves and
jackets buttoned. Do not reach across the machine
or pipe. Clothing can be caught by the pipe resulting
in entanglement and serious injury.
•Do not use this Roll Groover with a Power Drive
or Threading Machine that does not have a foot
switch. Foot Switch is a safety device to prevent
serious injury.
•Be sure groover is properly secured to the power
drive or threading machine. Carefully follow the set-
up procedures. Will prevent tipping of the pipe or
grooving unit.
•Properly support pipe with pipe stands. Use two
pipe stands to groove pipe over 36″long. Prevents
tipping of the unit.
•Use only power drives and threading machines
that operate under 58 RPM. Higher speed machines
increase the risk of injury.
•When grooving pipe, keep hands away from the
end of the pipe. Do not reach inside pipe end. Will
prevent being cut on sharp edges and burrs.
•Lock foot switch when not in use. (See Figure 1.)
Avoids accidental starting.
