are not suitable for the Akku pipe expander REMS Akku-Ex-Press Q & E,
and must therefore not be used.
3. Operation
3.1. Radial presses (Figs. 1 to 3)
Before use, always perform a trial pressing with the drive unit and the press-
ing tong inserted, with the press fitting in place. The pressing tongs must
close completely. Complete closing of the pressing jaws (10) both at their
tips (Fig. 1, at "A") and at the level of the connecting link (Fig. 1, at "B") must
be observed after completion of pressing. The tightness of the connection
must be checked (country-specific regulations, standards, guidelines etc.
must be followed).
Before use, always check the pressing tongs, in particular the pressing con-
tour (11) of both pressing jaws (10), for damage or wear. Do not use da-
maged or worn pressing tongs again. Otherwise there is a risk of incorrect
pressing or accidents.
If during closing of the pressing tongs a marked ridge is created on the
compression sleeve, the pressing may be defective or not tight (see 6.
Trouble).
3.1.1. Working procedure
Press the pressing tongs (1) together manually until they can be pushed
over the press fitting. Always position the drive unit with the pressing tongs
on the press fitting at right angles to the pipe axis. Release the pressing
tongs so that they close around the press fitting. Hold the drive unit by the
housing grip (6) and the pistol grip (9).
In the case of the REMS Power-Press E, set the rotation direction lever (7)
to the right (advance) and press the inching switch (8). Hold down the
inching switch (8) until pressing is completed and the pressing tongs are
closed. Set the rotation direction lever (7) to the left (return) and press the
switch (8) until the press rollers have retracted and the slipping clutch
responds. Do not put unnecessary loads on the slipping clutch.
In the case of the REMS Power-Press 2000, set the rotation direction lever
(7) to the right (advance) and press the inching switch (8). Hold down the
inching switch (8) until the drive unit switches off automatically. Set the
rotation direction lever (7) to the left (return) and press the inching switch
(8) until the drive unit switches off or the slipping clutch responds. Do not
put unnecessary loads on the slipping clutch.
In the case of the REMS Akku-Press, hold down the inching switch (8) until
the pressing tongs are completely closed. This is indicated by an acoustic
signal (clicking). Press the reset button (13) until the press rollers (5) are
fully retracted.
In the case of the REMS Akku-Press ACC, hold down the inching switch
(8) until the pressing tongs are completely closed. After completion of press-
ing, the drive unit switches automatically to return (forced return).
Press the pressing tongs together manually so that they can be removed
from the press fitting.
3.1.2. Operating safety
The REMS Power-Press 2000 is fitted with a torque-controlled electronic
cutout circuit. This switches off the drive unit once the pressing operation
has ended, i.e. when the pressing tongs are closed. In the case of the
REMS Power-Press E, the pressing operation is ended by releasing the
inching switch (8). For the mechanical safety of the drive units, a torque-
controlled safety slipping clutch is operative in both end positions of the
press rollers.
The REMS Akku-Press ends the pressing operation automatically, emit-
ting an acoustic signal (clicking). The REMS Akku-Press ACC ends the
pressing operation automatically, emitting an acoustic signal (clicking), and
returns automatically (forced movement).
Important: Only complete closing of the pressing tongs provides a perfect
press joint. Complete closing of the pressing jaws (10) both at their tips
(Fig. 1, at "A") and at the level of the connecting link (Fig. 1, at "B") must
be observed after completion of pressing. If during closing of the pressing
tongs a marked ridge is created on the compression sleeve, the pressing
may be defective or not tight (see 6. Trouble).
3.1.3. Working safety
To ensure safe working, the drive units are equipped with a safety inching
switch. This permits immediate switching off of the drive units at any time,
particularly if a potential hazard arises. The drive units can be switched to
the return function in any position.
3.2. Axial presses (Figs. 4, 5)
3.2.1. Pressing with the REMS Ax-Press 15 and REMS Ax-Press 40
Place the preassembled compression sleeve fitting inside the pressing
heads (14) and press them into the latter. Only press the inching switch (8)
lightly, so that the pressing heads move together slowly until they are in
contact with the compression sleeve fitting. Caution – danger of crushing!
Keep your hands away from the moving pressing heads! Hold the drive
unit by the housing grip (6) and the pistol grip (9), and keep the inching
switch (8) pressed until the compression sleeve is in contact with the collar
of the compression sleeve fitting. This is also indicated by an acoustic signal
(clicking). Press the reset button (13) until the pressing heads (14) are fully
retracted.
With the compression sleeve system IV, various pressing heads are nee-
ded for one pipe size. Consult and comply with the instructions for instal-
lation and fitting of the system's manufacturer.
In the case of the compression sleeve system RV, preliminary and final
pressing is necessary, i.e. the pressing heads must first be inserted with a
wide spacing of the receptacles for the compression sleeve fitting. Before
a second pressing operation, the pressing heads are set to a narrow spa-
cing of the receptacles for the compression sleeve fitting by a 180° rotation.
Consult and comply with the instructions for installation and fitting of the
system's manufacturer.
3.2.2. Expansion with REMS Ax-Press 15
Push the compression sleeve over the pipe, insert the expanding head as
far as it will go into the pipe, and press the expanding head/drive unit against
the pipe. Switch on the drive unit (8). Ensure that the compression sleeve
has during the expansion process sufficient clearance from the expanding
head, otherwise the expanding jaws (17) might become bent or broken.
Hold down the inching switch (8) until the pipe has been expanded. This
is also indicated by an acoustic signal (clicking). Press the reset button (13)
until the expanding head has closed again. If necessary repeat the ex-
pansion. Consult and comply with the instructions for installation and fitting
of the system's manufacturer.
3.3. REMS Akku-Ex-Press Q & E (Fig. 6)
Consult and comply with the instructions for installation and fitting of the
system's manufacturer. Slide a Q & E ring of appropriate size onto the pipe.
Insert the expansion head into the pipe and press the expanding head/drive
unit against the pipe. Switch on the drive unit (8). When the expanding head
is opened, the drive unit switches automatically to return and the expan-
ding head is closed again. Keep holding the inching switch (8) down and
push the expanding head/drive unit further. Keep repeating the expansion
process until the expanding jaws (17) are slid all the way into the pipe.
Consult and comply with the instructions for installation and fitting of the
system's manufacturer.
4. Maintenance
4.1. Maintenance
Before maintenance work, pull the mains plug or remove the battery.
Keep the pressing tongs, pressing heads and expanding heads, and par-
ticularly their receptacles, clean. Clean heavily soiled metal parts with tur-
pentine oil, for example, and then rustproof them.
Clean plastic parts (housing, batteries) only with a mild soap and a damp
cloth. Do not use domestic cleaning agents. These frequently contain che-
micals that can attack plastic parts. On no account use petrol, turpentine
oil, thinners or similar products to clean plastic parts.
Ensure that liquids never get inside the electrical equipment. Never im-
merse the electrical equipment in liquid.
4.1.1. Pressing tongs
Check the pressing tongs for easy action at regular intervals. If necessary
clean the pressing tongs and lubricate the bolts (12) of the pressing jaws
with machine oil, however do not dismantle the pressing jaw! Remove any
deposits in the pressing contour (11). Check that all pressing tongs are
functional at regular intervals by a trial pressing operation with the press
fitting inserted. The pressing jaws (10) must close (10) both at their tips
(Fig. 1, at "A") and at the level of the connecting link (Fig. 1, at "B") after
completion of pressing. Do not use damaged or worn pressing tongs again.
If in doubt, return the drive unit together with all pressing tongs to an
authorised REMS after-sales service facility for inspection.
