Weighted effective value of acceleration:
all REMS reciprocating saws
Sawing chipboard 18.3 m/s²
Sawing wooden beam 28.3 m/s²
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.
CAUTION
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

2.1. Electrical connection
Note the mains voltage! Before connecting the REMS reciprocating saw or
the rapid charger, check whether the voltage given on the rating plate corre-
sponds to the mains voltage. On building sites, in a wet environment, indoors
and outdoors or under similar installation conditions, only operate the power
tool on the mains with a fault current protection switch (FI switch) which inter-
rupts the power supply as soon as the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA
for 200 ms. When using an extension lead, a cable cross section suitable for
the power tool must be chosen. The extension lead must be approved for the
protection class specified in 1.5 Electrical data.
Rechargeable batteries
NOTICE
Charge the battery before inserting it into the REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE! Always
insert the battery (13) vertically into the REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE or rapid
charger until it snaps in audibly. 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.
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 REMS 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 0°C to +45°C (32°F – +113°F).
NOTICE
The REMS rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.

2.2. Sawing with guide holder (2) (right-angled sawing)
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before fitting/removing the
guide holder!
Push the bearing pin (3) of the guide holder (2) into the REMS reciprocating
saw from the side so that the limit pin of the guide holder runs in the longitudinal
slit in the REMS reciprocating saw.
NOTICE
The guide holder must be used to achieve right-angled saw cuts because
exact right-angled positioning and guiding of the REMS reciprocating saw is
not possible by hand.
2.3. Hand-guided sawing
The REMS reciprocating saw is used without a guide holder (2). It must be
pressed forcefully against the material when sawing so that the support shoe
(6) is constantly in contact with the material being sawn. The material to be
sawn must be secured against being flung away.
2.4. Selecting the suitable saw blade
In your own interest, use only REMS quality saw blades for all REMS recipro-
cating saws otherwise your warranty rights will be voided!
REMS special saw blades 2"/140-2.5 or 2"/140-3.2, 4"/200-3.2 and
6"/260-3.2 (Fig. 8) for all REMS Tiger models
Developed especially for REMS Tiger. Absolutely essential for right-angled
sawing and fast disassembly of steel pipes with force-transmitting guide holder.
This produces multiple thrust pressure by a five-fold force-transmitting leverage.
REMS special saw-blades with double-sided hinge with extra wide clamping
surface for exact seat, extra thick, rigid and unbendable for high stability. Coarse,
corrugated teeth for fast cutting. Much longer service life. Normal saw blades
with one-sided hinge are useless for right-angled sawing with a guide holder
because they break at the clamping point due to high thrust pressure.
REMS universal saw blade 100/150/200/300 (Fig. 8) for all REMS Tiger,
REMS Cat models
For free-hand sawing and sawing with force-transmitting guide holder. Only 1
REMS universal saw blade for all sawing work instead of many different saw
blades. Tenacious material, highly flexible, also for wall-flush sawing. Double-
sided hinge with extra wide clamping surface for exact seat and high stability.
Alternating tooth pitch (combi-teeth), very highly hardened in the teeth area.
Excellent sawing performance and very long service life as a result. Also for
materials that are difficult to cut, e.g. stainless steel pipes, hard cast iron pipes
etc. and for sawing wood with nails, pallets. Normal saw blades with one-sided
hinge are useless for the high thrust pressure when sawing with a guide holder;
they break at the clamping point.
REMS saw blades for all REMS reciprocating saws
For special sawing work with metals, wood, building materials and plastics
numerous REMS saw blades or different shape, length and tooth pitch with
conventional (one-sided) hinge are available: See saw blade table Fig. 8.
2.5. Fitting the saw blade
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before fitting/removing the
saw blade!
All REMS Tiger, REMS Cat models (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3)
Do not place the REMS reciprocating saw on the anti-kink sleeve of the
connecting lead to fit the REMS saw blade, otherwise it will be damaged! Loosen
the clamping screw (9) of the saw blade pressure piece (4) until the saw blade
can be inserted over the centring pin. The REMS special saw blade and the
REMS universal saw blade are between the two arms of the U-shaped saw blade
pressure piece (Fig. 2). REMS saw blades with conventional (single) tang must
lie within the recess in the base of the saw blade pressure piece (Fig. 3). Screw
the saw blade pressure piece tight with the clamping screw (9) otherwise the
centring pin will be damaged or sheared off. The centring pin does not have the
task of holding the saw blade. This is done exclusively by clamping with the
clamping screw (9). If the clamping screw (9) can no longer be tightened because
its socket head or the Allen key is worn, the centring pin shears off. Therefore
renew a worn clamping screw (9) and Allen key in good time.
REMS Puma VE (Fig. 5.)
Do not place the REMS reciprocating saw on the anti-kink sleeve of the
connecting lead to fit the REMS saw blade, otherwise it will be damaged! Swing
up the saw blade clamping lever (14) by hand and hold it. Insert the saw blade
(5) either with the teeth facing down or turned 180° facing up. Release the saw
blade clamping lever (14), this is spring-loaded and clamps the saw blade
automatically. Check the saw blade (5) for tight fit. The saw blade turned upwards
allows sawing cuts near to a surface (Fig. 7.)
2.6. Setting the length-adjustable support shoe, only REMS Puma VE (Fig. 6.)
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before adjusting the length-
adjustable, tiltable support shoe (6)!
Take the Allen key out of the holder (15) and undo the two clamping screws
(16). The tiltable support shoe (6) can be adjusted steplessly by 40 mm in
longitudinal direction. Set the desired position, tighten the clamping screws
