General Safety Rules

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!

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 atmo-

spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks

which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and by-standers away while oper- ating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

• Keep floors dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite accidents.

• Guard or barricade the area when work piece ex- tends beyond machine. A guard or barricade that provides a minimum of three (3) feet clearance around the work piece will reduce the risk of entanglement.

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.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded sur-

faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electrical shock

if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet condi- tions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electrical shock.

2 Ridge Tool Company

975 Combo Roll Groover

• 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 enta ngled cords i ncrease

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 an 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 turn- ing the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Tool Use and Care

• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

• Do not use tool if the switch does not turn it ON and OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the tool accidentally.

• Store idle tools out of the reach of children and

do not allow persons unfamiliar with the tool or these instructions to operate the tool. Tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

• Use only accessories that are recommended for your tool. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Keep handles dry and clean; free from oil and grease. Allows for better control of the tool.

Service

• Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will

ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.

Specific Safety Information

• 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

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves 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.

975 Combo Roll Groover

Roll Groover Safety

• 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 or other

rotating parts, resulting in entanglement and serious injury.

• Keep hands away from grooving rolls. Do not

groove pipe shorter than specified. Do not wear loose fitting gloves. Fingers can be crushed between

groove rolls or between groove roll and pipe.

• Keep hands away from ends of pipe. Do not reach inside pipe. Burrs and sharp edges can catch and cut. Fingers can be crushed between groove rolls or between groove roll and pipe.

• Properly prepare and handle pipe. Burrs and sharp edges can catch and cut.

• Properly support the pipe. This will help to prevent the tipping of the pipe and equipment.

• Read and understand this operator’s manual, the

appropriate power drive or threading machine operator’s manual, the fitting manufacturer’s installation instructions and the instructions for any other equipment used with this tool before operating the RIDGID®975 Combo Roll Groover. Failure

to follow all instructions may result in property damage and/or serious personal injury.

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equip-

ment while setting up and using the RIDGID 975 Combo Roll Groover. Appropriate personal protective

equipment always includes eye protection and may include equipment such as tight fitting leather gloves, steel toed footwear, and a hardhat.

• Only use roll groover to groove pipe of recom-

mended sizes and types according to these instructions. Other uses or modifying the roll groover for

other applications may increase the risk of injury.

Roll Groover Safety When Used With A Power Drive/Threading Machine

• Only use the RIDGID 300 Power Drive or the 300 Compact Threading Machine with this 975 Combo Roll Groover. Use of other power sources will result in

improper set up and could cause tipping or other issues.

• Do not use this roll groover with a power drive or

threading machine that does not have a foot switch. Never block a foot switch so that it does not control the power drive. A foot switch provides

better control by letting you shut off the power drive motor by removing your foot. If clothing should become

caught in the machine and power is maintained to the motor, the clothing will be pulled into the machine. This machine has high torque and can cause the clothing to bind around your arm or other body parts with enough force to crush or break bones or cause striking or other injuries.

• One person must control both the grooving pro-

cess and the foot switch. Do not operate with more than one person. In case of entanglement, the oper-

ator must be in control of the foot switch.

• Only use power drives and threading machines with a rotational speed of 57 rpm or less. Higher speed machines increase the risk of injury.

• Be sure the roll groover is properly set up and

secured to the power drive/threading machine. Be sure the machine, stand, groover and pipe are stable. This will help prevent tipping of the equip-

ment and pipe.

Roll Groover Safety When Used In Place

• Only drive manually when used for in place applications. Do not use powered devices (such as drills or impact tools) to drive the roll groover when used in place. Use of powered devices can

damage the Groove and increase the risk of injury.

• When working overhead, all personnel should

wear hard hats and be clear of the area below.

Prevents serious injuries if roll groover, pipe or other objects fall.

2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the roll groover, including the carry handle, and the ratchet used to activate the roll groover. This reduces the risk of injury due to the groover or ratchet slipping from your grip during use and allows easier inspection.

3. Make sure that the support arms are tight in the body of the roll groover.

4. Inspect the roll groover for any broken, missing, misarranged or binding parts or any other condition that may prevent the safe and normal operation. Make sure that the groove roll and drive shaft turn freely.

5. Check that the warning label is present and firmly attached.

See Figure 2

for the location of the warning

label.

6. If the drive shaft knurls are dirty, clean with a wire brush. Dirty knurls can cause pipe slippage and tracking issues during grooving.

975 Combo Roll Groover

7. Inspect the groove roll and drive shaft for cracks, wear or other signs of damage. Damaged groove rolls and drive shafts can cause pipe slippage, poor quality grooves, or cause failure during use.

8. Inspect the ratchet and extension for proper operation. Make sure that the ratchet operates smoothly and consistently in both directions. Press the release button in the center of the ratchet head and install on the feedscrew. The ratchet should firmly lock into position. The ratchet should also lock securely into the extension and the extension should securely lock into the manual drive square at the back of the roll groover. This helps to prevent the ratchet and extension from coming loose from the roll groover in use. If using a different ratchet, wrench or extension that does not lock to the roll groover, be aware that it could come loose during use.

If any problems are found, do not use the machine until the problems have been corrected.

9. Lubricate the roll groover per the maintenance instructions in this manual. Wipe any excess grease from the roll groover.

10. If any other equipment is being used, inspect and maintain to make sure it is functioning properly.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up For Power Driven Applications

WARNING

Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes against dirt and foreign objects. Wear steel toe footwear to protect feet from tipping tools and falling pipe.

Do not use this roll groover with a power drive or threading machine that does not have a foot switch. Never block a foot switch so that it does not control the power drive. A foot switch provides better control by letting you shut off the power drive motor by removing your foot. If clothing should become caught in the machine and power is maintained to the power drive motor, the clothing will be pulled into the machine. This machine has high torque and can cause the clothing to bind around your arm or other body parts with enough force to crush or break bones or cause striking or other injuries.

Set up the roll groover and the work area according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from electric shock, fire, machine tipping, entanglement, crushing and other causes, and prevent roll groover damage.

rotate in the correct direction or the foot switch does not control the machine operation, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.

• Depress and hold the foot switch. Check the rotational speed of the unit. Inspect the moving parts for misalignment, binding, odd noises or any other unusual conditions. Release foot switch. If the rotational speed exceeds 57 rpm, do not use the unit for roll grooving. Higher speeds may increase the risk of injury. If unusual conditions are found, do not use the equipment until it has been repaired.

• Move the switch to the REV (reverse) position. Press and release the foot switch. Confirm that the driveshaft rotates in a clockwise direction as you face the front of the chuck. If the unit does not rotate in the correct direction, do not use the machine until it has been repaired.

• Move the switch to the OFF position. With dry hands unplug the machine.

Pipe Preparation

NOTICE

follow grooved coupling manufacturer’s specific recommendations for pipe end preparation. Failure to follow the grooved coupling manufacturer’s recommendations may lead to an improper connection and cause leaks.

1. Cut pipe to proper length. Be aware of the minimum lengths of pipe that can be grooved for each size of pipe imum length increases the risk of injury from crushed fingers and entanglement.

Make sure pipe end is cut square and free of burrs. Burrs can catch or cut gloves or fingers during grooving. Cut off method and large burrs can effect the quality of the groove made and the tracking of the Groove. Do not attempt to groove pipe that has been cut with a torch.

These are generalized instructions. Always

(See Chart A)

. Grooving pipe shorter than min-

2. Make sure to have appropriate support available for the pipe you are going to be grooving.

Chart A

lists the maximum length of pipe to be grooved using a single pipe stand. Longer lengths of pipe should be supported with at least two pipe stands. Failure to properly support the pipe may allow the pipe or the pipe and machine to tip and fall. Do not groove pipe shorter than the minimum length.

3. Place the required pipe stands in front of the roll groover. For lengths supported by a single stand, the stand should be placed slightly more than half the length of the pipe from the roll groover cover plate. For lengths of pipe requiring more than one stand, the stands should be placed 1/4of the pipe length from the ends of the pipe. It may be appropriate to use more stands in some situations. Stand height should be adjusted so that the pipe can fit over the drive roll.

4. Make sure that the groove roll has been retracted enough to allow the pipe to be placed over the drive shaft. If needed, turn the feedscrew counter-clockwise to raise the groove roll.

5. Place the pipe end over the driveshaft and set the pipe down onto the pipe stand(s). Make sure the pipe is stable.

2. All internal/external weld beads, flash, or seams must be ground flush at least 2" back from the end of the pipe. Do not cut flats into gasket seat area, this could cause leaks.

3. Remove all scale, dirt, rust and other contaminants at least 2" back from the end of the pipe. Contaminants can clog the drive knurls and prevent proper driving and tracking of the pipe while grooving.

Pipe Set Up In Roll Groover

1. Confirm that the power drive switch/threading machine is in the OFF position.

groove should always be performed before the first groove of the day or when changing pipe size, schedule or material. Groove diameter setting gauges are approximate only and the groove diameter must be measured to confirm proper size.

1. Confirm that the equipment and pipe is properly set up. Improper pipe preparation can effect the accurate set up of the groove depth gauge. The groove roll should be touching the pipe.

2. Adjust the groove depth gauge so that the correct step of the gauge is under the head of the adjusting screw

the gauge is not in the grooving position it will prevent grooving and may be damaged.

Figure 10A – Place Correct Step of Gauge Under Adjusting Screw Head

4. Prepare a test groove

Figure 10B – Gauge In Grooving Position

(follow the steps for “Forming

the Roll Groove).

5. Measure the groove diameter. The best method for measuring groove diameter is the use of a diameter tape

(see Accessories Section)

. Snugly wrap the diameter tape around the pipe in the groove. Make sure that the tape sits flat in the bottom of the groove, and read the groove diameter.

(See Figure 11.)

diameter, the adjusting screw must be repositioned to give the correct groove diameter.

• To increase groove diameter, turn the adjusting screw clockwise.

• To decrease groove diameter, turn the adjusting screw counter-clockwise.

• Each 1/4turn of the adjusting screw changes the groove diameter approximately 0.02".

7. Repeat steps 4-6 until the groove diameter is within specifications. If the groove is too large, the groover can be adjusted and the groove made smaller. If the groove is too small, another groove will need to be made. Proper groove diameter is important to insure connection performance. Out of specification grooves could cause joint failure.

Forming The Roll Groove

1. Confirm that the equipment and pipe are properly set up.

2. Assume a proper operating position. Position the power drive foot switch so that the operator can control the power drive, the roll groover and the pipe to be grooved. As shown in

Figure 12

, the position should

allow the operator to:

975 Combo Roll Groover

• Stand facing the roll groover with access to (on the same side as) the FOR/OFF/REV switch.

• Control the ON/OFF action of the foot switch and quickly release the foot switch if needed.

• Have convenient access to the groover and ratchet wrench without reaching over the roll groover.

• Place right hand on pipe being grooved if needed.

• Have good footing and proper balance.

3. Move the FOR/OFF/REV switch to the REV (reverse position). Do not run the 975 Combo Roll Groover

in the FOR (forward). Because of the design of the 975 Combo Roll Groover, this will cause the pipe to “spiral” out of the roll groove rolls and may allow the pipe to fall.

4. Place one hand on the on the head of the ratchet/top of the feedscrew and the other hand on the end of the ratchet.

5. Press the foot switch to start the power drive. Watch the pipe rotate and be sure that the face of the pipe stays in contact with the cover plate of the roll groover. If the pipe starts to move away from the roll groover cover plate, release the foot switch to prevent the pipe from spiraling off and falling. If needed, re-set up the

(see Pipe Set Up Section)

pipe

. If the pipe end is deformed, it will need to be cut off and a new groove prepared.

6. As the pipe completes a full rotation, tighten the feedscrew another 1/4turn. Continue to monitor the pipe end to make sure that it is in contact with the cover plate. Do not tighten the feedscrew more than 1/ turn per pipe rotation. Aggressive tightening of the feedscrew can cause excessive groove flare or cause the pipe to spiral off the drive shaft.

7. Continue tightening the feedscrew

/4turn per pipe revolution until the head of the adjusting screw stops against the top of the roll groover. Do not continue tightening the feedscrew after the adjusting screw reaches the top of the roll groover, this can damage the adjusting screw. Allow the pipe to rotate at least two more full rotations in this position to insure uniform groove depth.

8. Release the foot switch and move the FOR/OFF/REV switch to the OFF position.

9. Turn the feedscrew counter-clockwise and raise the groove roll so that the pipe can be removed from the machine.

10. Inspect the groove.

• Make sure that the groove is fully formed.

• Check the groove diameter and make sure it is within specification.

• Check any other items required by the fitting manufacturer.

If any problems are found, the groove cannot be used.

Setting The Groove Diameter For Copper Tubing

When using the 975 Combo Roll Groover for copper tube, the groove depth gauge on the groover cannot be used. It will give incorrect groove diameters.

1. Turn the feedscrew clockwise to bring the groove roll down in contact with the pipe outside diameter, then turn the feedscrew one quarter additional turn. The adjusting screw may need to be loosened (turned counter-clockwise) to allow the groove roll to contact pipe. The pipe and roll groover should be secure to each other at this point.

2. Make sure the groove depth gauge is in the grooving position.

(Figure 10B)

3. Turn the adjusting screw until it is flush with the top plate of the groover.

4. Find the diameter and type of pipe to be grooved on Table B and back the adjusting screw off the top plate the corresponding number of turns. For example, for 4" Sch. L copper, back the adjustment screw 11/4turns.

975 Combo Roll Groover Tracking Tips

The main issue users encounter when roll grooving is the pipe “spiraling” or “walking off” the driveshaft or not “tracking” properly. For good tracking, it is important that all of the instructions are followed. If, even after following all instructions, the pipe will not properly track, there are several other options to improve tracking.

Ridge Tool Company12

975 Combo Roll Groover

• Slightly increase the offset of the pipe towards the operator (increase from 1/2degree to 1 degree)

(See

Figure 9).

• The operator may need to apply slight force on the pipe while grooving to maintain tracking. This is usually only needed on shorter sections of pipe. To do this, the operator should wear a leather glove in good condition and cup their hand around the middle of the pipe as shown in

Figure 13

. This may require that the stand to which the power drive/threading machine is mounted be fixed to the floor to prevent movement during grooving. To prevent crushing injuries, keep hand away from the groove roll and the ends of the pipe, and do not groove pipe shorter that recommended.

Machine and Work Area Set-Up For In Place Applications

WARNING

Always wear eye protection to protect your eyes against dirt and foreign objects. Wear steel toe footwear to protect feet from tipping and falling pipe and tools. When working in place, wear a hard hat.

Set up roll groover and work area according to these procedures to reduce the risk of injury from machine tipping, crushing and other causes, and prevent roll groover damage.

1. Locate a work area that has the following:

• Adequate lighting.

• No flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may ignite. If present, do not work in area until sources have been identified and corrected.

• Clear, level, stable and dry location with adequate space for all of the equipment and the operator.

2. Clean up the work area prior to setting up any equipment. Always wipe up any oil that may be present.

Figure 13 – Applying Force To Pipe While Grooving To

• Additionally, see the

Maintain Tracking

Troubleshooting Section

for a complete list of reasons for and solutions to tracking issues.

3. Inspect the pipe to be grooved and confirm that the 975 Combo Roll Groover is the correct tool for the job. The 975 Combo Roll Groover is designed to groove schedule 10 and 40 steel, aluminum, and PVC pipe in 11/4" to 6" sizes. It is also designed to groove 11/4" to 6" schedule 10 and 11/4" to 2" schedule 40 stainless steel pipe. With a roll set change, it can be used to groove 2" - 8" Type K, L, M and DWV copper tube.

4. When grooving in place, make sure that there will be enough space for the 975 Combo Roll Groover to fit and be operated. The roll groover will orbit around the solidly mounted pipe and requires:

• A minimum of 61/2" clear space around the pipe to

the be grooved

• A minimum of 21/2" pipe extending past an obstruc-

tion such as a wall

Ridge Tool Company 13

975 Combo Roll Groover

• A minimum opening of 91/2" to fit the roll groover onto the pipe

Roll groovers for other applications can be found by consulting the Ridge Tool catalog, on line at www.RIDGID.com, or by calling Ridge Tool Technical Services at 800-519-3456.

NOTICE

Pipe Preparation

NOTICE

1. If grooving in place on an existing piping, make sure that the system has been depressurized and emptied of contents. Know what the contents are and any hazards associated with them.

2. Cut pipe to proper length. Make sure pipe end is cut square and free of burrs.

Burrs can catch or cut gloves or fingers during grooving. Cut off method and large burrs can effect the quality of the groove made and the tracking of the Groove. Do not attempt to groove pipe that has been cut with a torch.

These are generalized instructions. Always

Mounting The Roll Groover To The Pipe

1. Confirm that the 975 Combo Roll Groover has been inspected and has the appropriate roll set installed. Make sure that the support arms are tight in the body of the roll groover or remove them completely for better access in tight spaces. Next, install the ratchet into the feedscrew and install the extension into the manual drive square at the back of the roll groover. Make sure both the ratchet and extension are securely installed.

2. Make sure that there is enough space between the groove roll and drive shaft for the pipe wall. If needed, turn the feedscrew counter-clockwise to retract the groove roll.

3. Securely grasp the roll groover. Do not lift with the ratchet. Place the driveshaft into the pipe and make sure that the cover plate is tight to the end of the pipe

(Figure 14)

roll into contact with the outside of the pipe. Once the feedscrew is hand tight, use the ratchet to tighten the feedscrew an additional 1/4turn. Confirm that the roll groover is securely attached to the pipe and the cover plate is flush to the end of the pipe. If not, repeat procedure. Always make sure groover is secure when used in place to prevent it from falling.

. Tighten the feedscrew to bring the groove

3. All internal/external weld beads, flash, or seams must be ground flush at least 2" back from the end of the pipe. Do not cut flats into gasket seat area, this could cause leaks.

4. Remove all scale, dirt, rust and other contaminants at least 2" back from the end of the pipe. Contaminants can clog the drive knurls and prevent proper driving and tracking of the pipe while grooving.

5. Make sure that the pipe to be grooved is solidly mounted. The pipe must be able to withstand the weight of the roll groover (28 pounds), and the force and torque required for grooving without moving. For pipe that is in place, it may make sense to remove the pipe and groove at a pipe vise. In other cases, it may be necessary to add other temporary or permanent pipe supports. When using a pipe vise, make sure that it is secure and will not tip during use. For longer lengths of pipe, use appropriate pipe stands to support the extra length.

Consignes générales de sécurité

AVERTISSEMENT

Familiarisez-vous avec l’ensemble du mode d’emploi. Le non-respect des consignes ci-après augmenterait les risques de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou de grave blessure corporelle.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS !

Le terme «appareil électrique» utilisé dans les consignes de sécurité s’applique à la fois aux appareils sur secteur et aux appareils à piles (sans fils).

• Éloignez les enfants et les curieux lors de l’utili- sation d’un appareil électrique. Les distractions risquent de vous faire perdre le contrôle de l’appareil.

• Assurez la propreté des sols et l’absence de toutes matières visqueuses (huile, etc.). Les sols glissants sont une invitation aux accidents.

• Signalez ou barricadez les lieux lorsque les pièces façonnées saillissent de l’appareil. Des panneaux ou des barricades assurant un dégagement d’au moins un mètre sur le pourtour de l’ouvrage permettront de limiter les risques d’enchevêtrement.

Sécurité des lieux

• Assurez-vous de la propreté et du bon éclairage des lieux. Les zones encombrées ou mal éclairées

sont une invitation aux accidents.

• N’utilisez pas d’appareils électriques en présence

de matières explosives telles que liquides, gaz ou poussières combustibles. Les appareils élec-

triques produisent des étincelles susceptibles d’enflammer les poussières et émanations combustibles.

Ridge Tool Company 25

Sécurité électrique

• La fiche électrique de l’appareil doit correspon-

dre à la prise de courant utilisée. Ne tentez jamais de modifier la fiche. N’utilisez jamais d’adaptateur sur une fiche électrique avec terre. Les fiches

intactes et adaptées aux prises de courant utilisées limitent les risques de choc électrique.

• Évitez tout contact avec les objets reliés à la terre

tels que canalisations, radiateurs, cuisinières et

Rainureuse à galets mixte modèle 975

réfrigérateurs. Tout contact avec la terre augmenterait les risques de choc électrique.

• N’exposez pas l’appareil à la pluie ou aux intem- péries. Toute pénétration d’eau à l’intérieur d’un appareil électrique augmenterait les risques de choc électrique.

• Ne maltraitez pas le cordon d’alimentation de

l’appareil. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon d’alimentation pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’appareil. Éloignez le cordon d’alimentation des sources de chaleur, de l’huile, des objets tranchants et des mécanismes. Les cordons d’alimentation endom-

magés ou enchevêtrés augmentent les risques de choc électrique.

• Lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique à

l’extérieur, prévoyez une rallonge électrique adaptée. L’utilisation d’une rallonge électrique homologuée

pour usage extérieur limitera les risques de choc électrique.

• S’il est nécessaire d’utiliser un appareil électrique

dans des lieux mouillés, prévoyez une source d’alimentation protégée par disjoncteur différentiel.

L’utilisation d’un disjoncteur différentiel réduit les risques de choc électrique.

Sécurité individuelle

• Soyez attentif, faites attention à ce que vous faites et faites preuve de bon sens lors de l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique. N’utilisez pas d’appareil électrique lorsque vous êtes sous l’influence de drogues, de l’alcool ou de médicaments. Lors de

l’utilisation d’un appareil électrique, un instant d’inattention risque d’entraîner de graves lésions corporelles.

• Prévoyez les équipements de protection indi-

viduelle nécessaires. Portez systématiquement une protection oculaire. Le port d’équipements de

protection tels que masque à poussière, chaussures antidérapantes, casque de chantier et protecteurs d’oreilles limite les risques de lésions corporelles.

• Évitez les démarrages accidentels en vous assur-

ant que l’interrupteur marche/arrêt de l’appareil se trouve en position «arrêt» avant de le brancher, d’y introduire le bloc-piles ou de prendre l’appareil en main. Le fait de porter un appareil électrique avec

son doigt sur la gâchette, voire de le brancher lorsque son interrupteur se trouve en position «marche» serait une invitation aux accidents.

• Retirez toutes clés de réglage éventuelles avant de mettre l’appareil en marche. Une clé laissée sur un élément rotatif quelconque de l’appareil risque de provoquer des accidents.

• Ne vous mettez pas en porte-à-faux. Maintenez

une bonne position de travail et un bon équilibre à tout moment. Cela vous permettra de mieux con-

trôler l’appareil en cas d’imprévu.

• Habillez-vous de manière appropriée. Ne portez ni

vêtements amples ou bijoux. Éloignez vos cheveux, vos vêtements et vos gants des mécanismes. Les vêtements flottants, les bijoux et les

cheveux longs risquent d’être entraînés par les éléments rotatifs de l’appareil.

• En présence d’un système de récupération et

d’évacuation de poussière, assurez-vous que celuici est correctement raccordé et utilisé. L’emploi

de récupérateurs de poussière sert à limiter les risques sanitaires liés à la présence de poussières.

Utilisation et entretien de l’appareil

• Ne forcez pas l’appareil. Prévoyez l’appareil approprié en fonction des travaux envisagés. L’appareil

approprié fera le travail plus efficacement et avec un plus grand niveau de sécurité lorsqu’il tourne au régime prévu.

• N’utilisez pas d’appareil électrique dont l’inter-

rupteur ne contrôle pas la mise en marche ou l’arrêt. Tout appareil électrique qui ne peut pas être

contrôlé par son interrupteur est dangereux et doit être réparé.

• Débranchez l’appareil et/ou retirez son bloc-piles

avant tout réglage, stockage ou changement d’accessoires. De telles mesures préventives limiteront les

risques de démarrage accidentel de l’appareil.

• Rangez tout appareil non utilisé hors de la portée

des enfants et des individus qui n’ont pas été familiarisés avec ce type de matériel ou son mode d’emploi. Les appareils électriques sont dan-

gereux entre les mains d’utilisateurs non initiés.

• Veillez à l’entretien de l’appareil. Examinez-le pour

signes de grippage, de bris et de toute autre anomalie qui risquerait de nuire à son bon fonctionnement. Le cas échéant, faire réparer l’appareil avant de l’utiliser. De nombreux accidents sont

provoqués par des appareils mal entretenus.

• N’utilisez que les accessoires spécifiquement prévus pour l’appareil en question. Des outils de coupe bien entretenus et bien affûtés sont moins susceptibles de se gripper et sont plus faciles à manipuler.

• Veillez à la propreté des poignées de l’appareil, notamment à l’absence d’huile et de graisse. Cela permettra de mieux contrôler l’appareil.

Révisions

• Lors de sa révision, confiez l’appareil à un répara-

teur qualifié se servant exclusivement de pièces de rechange d’origine. Cela sera garant de la sécurité

opérationnelle de l’appareil.

Consignes de sécurité particulières

AVERTISSEMENT

Cette section contient d’importantes consignes de sécurité applicables à cet appareil en particulier.

Lisez ces précautions soigneusement avant de vous servir de la rainureuse à galets mixte type 975 afin de limiter les risques de choc électrique et d’accident grave.

CONSERVEZ CES INSTRUCTIONS !

Veuillez adresser toutes questions éventuelles aux services techniques de la Ridge Tool Company en composant le (800) 519-3456 ou par mail adressé à : techservice@ridgid.com.

Sécurité de la rainureuse à galets

• Ne portez pas de vêtements amples. Boutonnez

vos manches et vos blousons. Ne vous penchez pas sur l’appareil ou les tuyaux. Les vêtements

risquent d’être entraînés par un tuyau ou par le mécanisme de l’appareil, s’y embobiner, et provoquer de graves blessures.

• Éloignez vos mains des galets de rainurage. Ne ten-

tez pas de rainurer de tuyau plus court que spécifié. Ne portez pas de gants trop grands. Vos doigts

risqueraient d’être écrasés entre les galets de rainurage ou entre l’un d’entre eux et le tuyau.

• Éloignez vos mains des extrémités du tuyau. Ne les mettez pas à l’intérieur du tuyau. D’éventuelles bavures ou coupes tranchantes risquent de les accrocher et vous couper. Vos doigts risquent d’être écrasés entre les galets de rainurage ou entre l’un d’entre eux et le tuyau.

• Préparez et manipulez les tuyaux de manière appropriée. D’éventuelles bavures ou coupes tranchantes risquent de les accrocher et vous couper.

• Soutenez le tuyau de manière appropriée. Cela aidera à éviter son renversement éventuel, ainsi que celui du matériel.

• Avant d’utiliser la rainureuse à galets mixte RIDGID

975, familiarisez-vous avec son mode d’emploi,

celui du fabricant des raccords, et ceux de tout matériel accessoire utilisé. Le non-respect des con-

signes correspondantes augmenterait les risques de dégâts matériels et/ou de graves blessures corporelles.

• Prévoyez les équipements de protection individu-

elle préconisés lors de l’installation et de l’utilisation de la rainureuse à galets mixte RIDGID 975. Les

équipements prévus comprennent une protection oculaire, et éventuellement des gants de cuir, des chaussures de sécurité à coquille d’acier, un casque de chantier, etc.

• N’utilisez cette rainureuse à galets que pour le

rainurage des sections et types de tuyaux préconisés dans le mode d’emploi. Toute autre utili-

sation ou modification de la rainureuse en vue d’applications non prévues augmenterait les risques d’accident.

Sécurité d’une rainureuse montée sur système d’entraînement

• La rainureuse à galets mixte RIDGID 975 ne peut

utiliser que le système d’entraînement RIDGID 300 ou la fileteuse 300 Compact. Toute tentative

d’adaptation à un autre type de système d’entraînement augmenterait, entre autres, les risques de renversement.

• N’utilisez pas la rainureuse sur un système d’en-

traînement démuni de sa pédale de commande. Ne jamais bloquer la pédale de commande afin de la neutraliser. La pédale de commande permet de

mieux contrôler l’appareil en vous permettant d’arrêter le système d’entraînement en levant le pied. Les vêtements qui se prennent dans une rainureuse en marche seront entraînés dans le système. L’appareil dispose d’un couple suffisant pour entortiller les vêtements autour d’un bras ou autre partie du corps avec suffisamment de force pour briser les os et créer d’autres types de lésions.

• Un seul individu doit commander à la fois le pro-

cessus de rainurage et la pédale de commande du système d’entraînement. Ne pas se mettre à plusieurs pour utiliser cet appareil. En cas d’en-

chevêtrement, l’utilisateur doit aussi pouvoir contrôler la pédale de commande.

• N’utilisez que des systèmes d’entraînement ou

fileteuses disposant d’un régime de rotation maximum de 57 t/min. Une vitesse de rotation supérieure

augmenterait les risques d’accident.

• Assurez-vous de la bonne installation de la rain-

ureuse et de son bon raccordement au système d’entraînement/fileteuse. Assurez-vous également

Ridge Tool Company 27

Rainureuse à galets mixte modèle 975

de la stabilité de l’ensemble du système de rainurage et des tuyaux à rainurer. Cela limitera les

risques de renversement du matériel et du tuyau.

Sécurité de la rainureuse à galets sur chantier

• Sur chantier, la rainureuse doit être utilisée man-

uellement. Ne tentez pas d’utiliser de perceuses, clés chocs, etc. pour la mouvoir. Ce type d’appareil

risquerait d’endommager les rainures et augmenter les risques d’accident.

• Lors des travaux en élévation, l’ensemble du per-

sonnel environnant doit porter le casque et s’éloigner de la zone de chute potentielle de l’appareil.

Cela évitera de graves blessures corporelles en cas de chute de la rainureuse, des tuyaux ou autres éléments environnants.
