b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired by a
qualified expert or by an authorised REMS after-sales service facility
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. This
is safer than holding it with your hand, and also it frees both hands to ope-
rate the equipment.
h) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation. All unauthorised modifica-
tions to the power tool are prohibited for safety reasons.
E) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A char-
ger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
c) Use battery tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals may cause bums or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avo-
id contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or bums.
f) Do not use the battery/charger at battery/charger temperatures or am-
bient temperatures of 5°C/40°F or 40°C/105°F.
g) Do not dispose defective batteries in the normal domestic waste. Take
them to an authorised REMS after-sales service facility or to a repu-
ted waste disposal company.
F) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using on-
ly identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the po-
wer tool is maintained.
b) Comply with maintenance instructions and instructions on tool re-
placements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool regularly and have it replaced by a
qualified expert or an authorised REMS after-sales service facility in
case of damage. Check extension cable regularly and replace it when
damaged.

Specific Safety Instructions

The electrodes reach a working temperature of around 900°C – so never
•
touch either the electrodes or the front of the tongs or the workpiece, whether
during or alter soldering!
When putting down the tongs after soldering, ensure that the front part of
•
the tongs, which is still hot, is kept away from inflammable materials.
Change worn electrodes and electrode holders.

2. Preparations for Use

2.1. Electrical connection:
The soldering unit must be connected to a socket with a protective earth
(earthed wire). Ensure that the mains voltage is correct! Before connec-
ting the unit, check that the mains voltage is the same as that specified
on the rating plate.
2.2. Selecting the electrodes:
As a rule, the prisma electrodes (Fig. 1 [1]), are used, since they have a
larger area of contact with the pipe and hence heat up the latter faster
than the rod electrodes (2). The rod electrodes are intended for cramped
spots where operation with the prisma electrodes is not possible.

3. Operation

3.1. Mode of operation:
Once the electrodes of the soldering unit are applied to a metallic con-
ductor, e. g. a copper pipe, a circuit with low voltage and high current
intensity is closed by pressing the switch (3). The electrodes have a rela-
tively high resistance in the transformer/cable/electrodes/workpiece circuit,
and therefore heat up. They may become red hot with larger pipe sizes.
The resultant heat is transmitted to the workpiece by heat conduction, and
the workpiece is heated to soldering temperature in a matter of seconds.
3.2. Operating sequence:
Prepare the soldering joint properly (see also 3.3). Connect the unit to a
protectively earthed socket. Attach the tongs (Fig. 1 [4]) with the prisma
electrodes (1) or – in narrow spots – with the rod electrodes (2) to the
workpiece. Operate the switch (3). Keep the switch (3) pressed during the
soldering operation. The soldering temperature is reached within seconds.
Feed in the solder until the soldering gap is filled. Release the switch (3).
Remove the tongs from the workpiece. lf the workpiece is not precisely
fixed, it can be held in the tongs while the switch (3) is open until the sol-
der has solidified.
3.3. Soldering material:
Use REMS Lot Cu 3 for soft-soldering. Copper pipes and fittings must
have a bright metal surface. To prepare the soldering joint, spread REMS
Paste Cu 3 over the pipe. This paste contains soldering powder and flux.
The advantage of the paste is that its change in colour indicates that the
temperature needed for soldering has been reached, and that a better fil-
ling of the soldering gap is achieved. In any event, however, REMS Lot
Cu 3 must be added too. REMS Lot Cu 3 and Paste REMS Cu 3 have
