• 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.
• Keep guards in place. Do not operate the roll groover
with the guard removed. Exposure to groove rolls may
result in entanglement and serious injury.
• 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
Failure to follow all instructions may result in property
damage and/or serious personal injury.
• Always wear appropriate personal protective
equipment 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 in -
structions. 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 be-
come 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 en tan g lement, the
operator 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 equipment
and pipe.
Roll Groover Safety When Used In Place
• Only drive manually when used for in place appli-
cations. 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 Groover 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.
