1.8. Vibrations
Weighted effective value of acceleration
The specified vibration emission value was measured according to a standard
test method and can be used for comparison with another power tool. The
specified vibration emission value can also be used for an initial estimation of
the cut-out.
CAUTION
The vibration emission value may differ from the specified value during actual
use of the power tool depending on the manner in which the power tool is used.
Dependent upon the actual conditions of use (periodic duty) it may be necessary
to establish safety precautions for the protection of the operator.

2. Preparations for Use

The respective latest sales literature applies for the use of REMS pressing
tongs, REMS Mini pressing tongs, REMS pressing rings with adapter tongs,
REMS pressing heads and REMS expanding heads for the different pipe
connection systems, see also www.rems.de → Downloads → Product Cata-
logues, Brochures. If the system manufacturer alters components of pipe
connection systems or markets new ones, their current application status must
be enquired about at REMS (Fax +49 7151 17 07 - 110 or e-mail info@rems.
de). Subject to change and error.
2.1. Electrical connection
WARNING
Note the mains voltage! Before connecting the drive unit or the rapid charger,
check whether voltage on the rating plate matches the mains voltage. On
building sites, in a wet environment or for similar types of application, only
operate the power tool on the mains via a 30 mA fault current protection (FI
switch). Observe the cross-section necessary for the output of the power tool
when using an extension cable.
Rechargeable batteries
NOTICE
Always hold the battery (25) upright when inserting it in the drive unit or the
rapid charger. If inserted at an angle it can cause damage to the contacts and
result in a short circuit which damages the battery.
Total discharging by undervoltage
The Li-Ion batteries may not drop below a minimum voltage because otherwise
the battery could be damaged by "total discharge". The cells of the REMS Li-Ion
battery are delivered pre-charged to approx. 40 %. Therefore the Li-Ion batteries
must be charged before use and recharged regularly. Failure to observe this
regulation of the cell manufacturer can lead to damage to the Li-Ion battery by
total discharging.
Total discharging due to storage
If a relatively low charged Li-Ion battery is stored, self discharging can lead to
total discharge damage of the battery after longer storage. Li-Ion batteries must
therefore be charged before storing and recharged every six months at the
latest and charged again before use.
NOTICE
Charge the battery before use. Recharge Li-Ion batteries regularly to avoid
their total discharge. The rechargeable battery will be damaged by total
discharge.
1
Only use a REMS rapid charger for charging. New Li-Ion batteries and Li-Ion
batteries which have not been used for a long time only reach full capacity after
several charges. Non-rechargeable batteries may not be charged.
Battery charging status check for all Li-Ion cordless presses
All REMS cordless presses made as of 2011-01-01 are equipped with an
electronic battery charging status check with battery charge indication by a
2-coloured green/red LED (23). The LED lights green when the battery is fully
or still sufficiently charged. The LED lights red when the battery must be charged.
If this condition occurs during pressing and the pressing process is not finished,
the pressing must be completed with a fully charged Li-Ion battery. If the drive
unit is not used, the LED goes out after approx. 2 hours but comes on again
when the drive unit is switched back on.
Rapid charger Li-Ion/NiCd (Art. No. 571560)
The left control lamp lights up and remains green when the mains plug is
plugged in. If a battery is inserted in the rapid charger, the green control lamp
flashes to indicate that the battery is charging. The green light stops flashing
and remains on to signal that the battery is fully charged. If the red control lamp
flashes, the battery is defective. If the red control lamp comes on and remains
on, this indicates that the temperature of the rapid charger and / or the battery
is outside the permissible operating range of the rapid charger of 0°C to +45°C.
NOTICE
The rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.

2.2. Installing (changing) the pressing tong, pressing tong Mini (Fig. 1 (1)),
pressing tong (4G) (Fig. 14), pressing tong (S) (Fig. 15), the pressing ring
(PR-3S) with adapter tong (Fig. 16), the pressing ring (PR-3B) with adapter
tong (Fig. 17) in radial presses
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery. Only use pressing tongs, pressing
tongs Mini or pressing rings with system-specific pressing contour according
to the pressfitting system to be pressed. Pressing tongs, pressing tongs Mini
or pressing rings have letters on the pressing jaws or pressing segments to
identify the pressing contour and a number to identify the size. The adapter
tongs are marked by the letter Z and a number which serves for assignment
to the permissible pressing ring which carries the same identification. Read
and observe the installation and assembly instructions of the manufacturer/
supplier of the press fitting system to be pressed. Never use non-matching
pressing tong, pressing tong Mini, pressing ring and adapter tong (pressing
contour, size). The press joint could be rendered useless and the machine and
pressing tong, pressing tong Mini, pressing ring and adapter tong could be
damaged.
It is best to place the drive machine on a bench or on the floor. The pressing
tong, pressing tong Mini or adapter tong can only be installed (changed) when
the press rollers (5) are fully retracted. On REMS Power-Press SE push the
rotation direction lever (7) to the left and actuate the safety inching switch (8)
if necessary, on REMS Mini-Press, REMS Power-Press / REMS Power-Press
ACC and REMS Akku-Press / REMS Akku-Press ACC press the reset button
(13) until the press rollers (5) have moved right back.
Open the tong retaining bolt (2). To do this, press the locking pin/bolt (4) and
the tong retaining bolt (2) springs out. Insert the chosen pressing tongs, Mini
pressing tongs (1), adapter tongs (19). Push the tong retaining bolt (2) forward
until the locking pin/bolt (4) snaps in. At the same time, press down the pressure
plate/button (3) directly over the tong retaining bolt (2). Do not start radial
presses without pressing tong, pressing tong Mini or pressing ring with adapter
tong inserted. Only start the pressing process to make a press joint. Without
pressing counterpressure by the press fitting the drive machine or pressing
tong, pressing tong Mini, pressing ring and adapter ring will be exposed to
unnecessarily high stress.
CAUTION
Never operate press when the tongs shank (2) is not locked. Risk of
fracture!
2.3. Installing (changing) the pressing heads (14) in axial presses
(Figs. 5, 8)
Remove the battery. Only use system-specific pressing heads. REMS press ing
heads have a letter to identify the compression sleeve system and a number
to identify the size. Read and observe the installation and assembly instructions
of the manufacturer/supplier of the used compression sleeve system. Never
use non-matching pressing heads (compression sleeve system, size) for
pressing work. The press joint could be unserviceable, and both the machine
and the press ing heads might be damaged.
Push the selected pressing heads (14) right in, if necessary turning them until
they engage (ball catch). Keep the pressing heads and locating hole inside the
pressing device clean.
2.4. Installing (changing) the expanding head (16) in REMS Akku-Ex-Press
Q & E ACC and REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC (Fig. 6, 7)
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery. Only use genuine expanding
heads for Uponor Quick & Easy. Read and observe the installation and assembly
instructions of the manufacturer/supplier of the used system. Never use non-
matching expanding heads (system, size) for expansion work. The joint could
be unserviceable, and both the machine and the expanding heads might be
damaged. Grease the cone of the expanding mandrel (18) lightly. Screw the
selected expanding head as far as it will go onto the expander. Read and
observe the installation and assembly instructions of the manufacturer/supplier
of the used system. REMS expanding heads P and Cu are unsuitable for the
REMS Akku-Ex-Press Q & E ACC and REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC pipe
expanders and may therefore not be used.
Changing the expanding device on the REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC
Pull out the mains plug. Unscrew the expanding device (15) from the REMS
Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC. Screw on the selected expander as far as it will
go and tighten by hand.
2.5. Mounting (changing) the expanding head (16) on the REMS Akku-Ex-Press
Cu ACC (Fig. 10)
Remove the battery. Grease the cone of the expanding mandrel lightly. Screw
the selected expanding head onto the expanding device (15) to the stop. The
expanding device must now be set so that the thrust of the drive machine is
taken up by the drive machine and not the expanding head at the end of the
expanding. Unscrew the expanding device (15) complete with screwed on
expanding head from the drive machine for this. Let the feed piston run forward
as far as possible without the machine switching into reverse. In this position
the expander with screwed-on expanding head must be screwed onto the drive
unit until the expanding jaws (17) of the expanding head (16) are fully open.
The expanding head must be secured with the locking nut (24) in this position.
2.6. Mounting (changing) the expanding head (16) on the REMS Akku-Ex-Press
P, REMS Akku-Ex-Press P ACC (Fig. 9)
Remove the battery. Grease the cone of the expanding mandrel (18) lightly.
Screw the selected expanding head onto the expanding device (15) to the stop.
