pressure. Pressurized uid can pierce skin
and cause severe injury. To avoid physical
hazard, always wear personal protective
equipment. Keep hands clear while oper-
ating. Lockout power before servicing.
Immediately replace guards after adjust-
ment, repair or service.
Pinch/Crush Hazard
Moving parts can pinch and crush.
Keep hands clear of moving parts.
Electrical Hazard
This is the electrical hazard symbol. It indi-
cates there are dangerous high voltages
present inside the enclosure of this product.
ONLY qualied, authorized, maintenance,
service or Certied Electricians should gain
access to electrical panel.
Lockout Power
Danger circuits are live. Lockout/Tagout the
upstream power source.

Refer to All Manuals
Each manual that comes with this machine
contains critical instructions regarding
proper operations, safety, installation and
maintenance procedures. Understand the
contents of each manual thoroughly. Failure
to follow proper procedures may result in
serious operator injury, machine damage
and will void your machine warranty. Keep
the manuals close to the machine for easy
reference.
Danger Panel Caution Panel
Do Not Operate With Guard
Removed
Physical barriers and guards have been
designed and installed to protect the
Operator from moving parts that can pinch,
cut and crush. Keep hands clear while
operating. Lockout power before servicing.
Immediately replace guards after adjust-
ment, repair or service to moving parts.
Safe Operation
Observe the following guidelines when performing roll forming opera-
tions with your Edwards RRM2 Radius Roller.
• Operator Safety / Safe Work Zone Roll forming parts or can fail
the part being worked, fail a part adjacent to the work or fail the
forming tool. Failed parts can become airborne projectiles with
deadly force. Protect yourself with appropriate personal protective
equipment when operating the press. Protect others by den-
ing a safe work zone for Radius Roller use and limiting access to
the operator. Identify a safe working zone from the working area
of the roller equal to or greater than the nished diameter of the
piece being rolled × 1.5 e.g. 5’ nished diameter × 1.5 = 7.5’.
Keep un-authorized individuals clear of the safe working zone
when roll forming.
• Radius Roller Inspection Roll forming operations may gener-
ate concussive failure to mechanical parts. Although Edwards
machinery is fabricated with both bolted and welded construction,
concussive failure is a possibility over time or with extreme use.
Prior to any roll forming operation, visually check all bolted and
welded connections for failure. All bolts must be tight and welds
intact. Failure to verify the structural integrity of the machinery
may result in workpiece shift, part ejection, operator injury or
machinery damage.
• Workpiece Inspection your Radius Roller is designed for form-
ing A36 steel. Take time to thoroughly understand the workpiece.
Never apply roll forming pressure to unstable sections, spring
steel or any item with elastic, spring-back tendencies. Conrm
the material properties of the workpiece will withstand the pres-
sure to be exerted by the roller. Conrm that workpiece items are
stripped down to their simplest form. Never double up material.
Workpiece must be clean and free of substances that would allow
the forming surfaces to slip under load.
• Workpiece Support Workpiece failure may be a result of
improper or inadequate workpiece support. Adequate support
for the workpiece must be present through the entirety of the roll
forming operation. Understand your workpiece and conrm that
the workpiece support system you employ will withstand the pres-
sure being exerted through the roll forming operation.
• Safe Use of Tooling Your Radius Roller is equipped with a
Universal, 15 piece roll forming die set. This roll form tooling is
designed to provide for basic roll forming applications. These
tools are not designed to provide for all roll forming applications.
Custom tooling is available for your Radius Roller. Care must
be taken when selecting roll form tooling. Select tooling that is
designed and rated for the specic application. To avoid undue
stresses upon the structural components of the Radius Roller,
select tooling with the shortest, most compact, tool depth avail-
able. Conrm that tooling and workpiece are aligned and follows a
direct path. Misaligned loads may fail the tooling or workpiece and
cause operator injury or damage to the machinery.
• Do Not Force Radius Roller
Consider the rating of the Radius
Roller and the work at hand. Gradually build pressure being ap-
plied to the workpiece. Carefully observe the workpiece to avoid
tooling misalignment or workpiece failure. Observe the roller as it
reacts under load. Do not overload the roller. Under heavy rolling
operation built up force may be released if the part breaks free of
its die. This release of pressure can be sudden and can appear
to shake the machinery. Take care to avoid parts falling from the
workpiece.
Operations
Tilting Operation
The head-frame of your Edwards Radius
Roller is mounted with a friction plate and
pin stop mechanism in the roller base. This
mounting conguration allows for the roller
head-frame to be operated in either a hori-
zontal or vertical orientation. Exercise care
when changing the operating position of
the roller and during operation of the roller.
Roll Speed Adjustment
Rotate the Roll Speed Adjustment knob to
change the speed at which the drive roll-
ers spin.
Shear/Crush Hazard
Moving parts can cut and crush. Keep
hands clear while operating. Lockout
power before servicing. Immediately
replace guards after adjustment, repair or
service.
