Weighted effective value of acceleration
The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration has been measured
against standard test procedures and can be used by way of comparison with
another device. The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can also
be used as a preliminary evaluation of the exposure.
Attention: The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can differ during
operation from the indicated value, dependent on the manner in which the device
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 pressing tongs Mini, REMS pressing rings, REMS adapter tongs,
REMS pressing heads and REMS expanding heads for the different pipe
connection systems. 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).
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. At work
sites, in damp surroundings, in the open or in the case of comparable types of
use, only operate the equipment off the mains using a 30 mA fault current
protected switch (FI breaker).
Rechargeable batteries
NOTICE
Always hold the battery 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.
The rechargeable battery supplied with REMS drive units and spare recharge-
able batteries are not charged. Charge the battery before use. Only use a
REMS rapid charger for charging. The rechargeable batteries only reach their
full capacity after being charged several times. Li-ion batteries should be
recharged regularly in order to avoid their total discharge. The rechargeable
battery will be damaged by exhaustive discharge. 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.
The drive unit finishes off the current pressing cycle and can then only be
switched on again if a charged battery has been inserted. 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 range of +5°C to +40°C.
NOTICE
The rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.
2.2. Installing (changing) the pressing tong, pressing tong Mini (1), the pressing
ring with adapter tong (Fig. 18) in radial presses (Fig. 1, 16 and 17)
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. Read and follow
the installation and assembly instructions of the system manufacturer. The
REMS adapter tongs are also identified by a letter and a number. This identi-
fication serves to assign them to the permissible REMS pressing ring. 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. If necessary, in the case of the REMS
Power-Press E, set the rotation direction lever (7) to the left and operate the
inching switch (8), and in the case of the REMS Power-Press and REMS Akku-
Press press the reset button (13) until the press rollers (5) are fully retracted.
Open the tongs shank (2). To do so, press the locking pin (4), the tongs shank
(2) jumps out under spring loading. Insert the selected pressing tong, pressing
tong Mini (1) or adapter tong (19). Push forward the tong retaining bolt (2) until
the locking pin (4) snaps into place. Press down the pressure plate (3) directly
over the tong retaining bolt. 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. 6, 7, 10)
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. Consult and comply with the instructions for installation and
fitting of the system's manufacturer. 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 Ax-Press 15
(Fig. 6)
Remove the battery. Fit the expander (15) (accessory) To do so, clean the
connecting surfaces, attach the expander, and tighten the two fillister-head
screws. Grease the cone of the expanding mandrel (18) lightly. Screw the
selected expanding head as far as it will go onto the expander. Only use system-
specific expanding heads. Expanding heads have a letter to identify the
compression sleeve system and a number to identify the size. Consult and
comply with the instructions for installation and fitting of the system's manu-
facturer. Never use non-matching expanding heads (compression sleeve system,
size) for expansion work. The press joint could be unserviceable, and both the
machine and the expanding heads might be damaged.
NOTICE
Ensure that the compression sleeve has sufficient clearance from the expanding
head during the expansion process, otherwise the expanding jaws (17) might
become bent or broken.
For pressing jobs in cramped places, the expander attachment can be removed.
2.5. Installing (changing) the expanding head (16) in REMS Akku-Ex-Press
Q & E ACC and REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E ACC (Fig. 8, 9)
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery. Only use genuine expanding
heads for Uponor Quick & Easy. Consult and comply with the instructions for
installation and fitting of the system's manufacturer. Never use non-matching
expanding heads (system, size) for expansion work. The joint could be unserv-
iceable, 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 follow the
installation and assembly instructions of the system manufacturer. 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 from the REMS Power-
Ex-Press Q & E ACC. Screw on the new expanding device to the stop and
tighten by hand.
2.6. Mounting (changing) the expanding head (16) on the REMS Akku-Ex-Press
Cu ACC (Fig. 12)
Remove the battery. Grease the cone of the expanding mandrel lightly. Screw
the selected expanding head onto the expanding device 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 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 expanding
device complete with screwed on expanding head must be screwed onto the
drive machine until the segments of the expanding head are fully open. The
expanding head must be secured with the locking nut in this position.
