REMS Tiger ANC Notice D'utilisation page 13

(16), insert the Allen key in the holder (15). This adjustment possibility allows
better utilisation of partially blunt saw blades and prevents the tip of the saw
blade from hitting a wall/inside of a pipe (take saw blade stroke into consid-
eration).
3. Operation
Use eye protection
Use ear protection
WARNING
Suitable dust extractors, a respirator and disposable overalls must be used for
work which could produce health hazardous dusts. Observe the national regu-
lations.
REMS Tiger ANC: Switch on/off with on/off safety switch (7).
REMS "VE" reciprocating saws: Stepless electronic stroke speed control by
variable pressure on the stepless safety switch (accelerator switch) (10).
REMS Tiger ANC SR: Stepless electronic stroke speed control. Preselection
of the desired number of strokes at the thumbwheel (12). Switch on/off with on/
off safety switch (7).
REMS Tiger ANC pneumatic: To overcome the on lock, first press down the
latch of the lever (11) and then the lever. The number of strokes is controlled
by pressing the lever with latch (11) appropriately.
3.1. Work procedure for sawing with a guide holder
WARNING
Only hold the REMS reciprocating saw by the insulated handles ("A") (Fig. 1),
not on the guide holder (2), when performing work where the tool can come
into contact with concealed electric cables or its own power cable. Contact with
a live cable can also put metal tools or the guide holder under voltage and lead
to electric shock.
NOTICE
Only use REMS special saw blades or REMS universal saw blades (see 2.4.).
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.
Fit the guide holder as described in 2.2. Place the REMS reciprocating saw
with guide holder on the pipe so that the clamping spindle with toggle (1) is
vertical. Tighten the clamping spindle. Press the switch (7 or 10) at the same
time as grasping the motor handle or actuate the lever with latch (11) and pull
up the REMS reciprocating saw until the pipe or profile is sawn through. The
start of sawing can be improved especially with large diameters (e.g. 4") by not
switching on the REMS reciprocating saw until the saw blade is already in
contact with the pipe. Make sure that the prism of the guide holder is always
kept free from chips, otherwise the right-angled cut will be impaired. To achieve
optimum sawing speed and to preserve the saw blade, only select medium
thrust pressure. Heavy thrust pressure does not increase the sawing speed!
REMS Tiger ANC is equipped with an overload protection (8). This is triggered
when the thrust pressure is too great; the button jumps out slightly and the
REMS reciprocating saw stops. After a few seconds the overload protection
can be pushed back in and the REMS reciprocating saw can be switched back
on.
3.2. Work procedure for hand-guided sawing
WARNING
Only hold the REMS reciprocating saw by the insulated handles ("A") (Fig. 1)
when performing work where the tool can come into contact with concealed
electric cables or its own power cable. Contact with a live cable can also put
metal tools under voltage and lead to electric shock.
For straight or curved cuts press the tiltable support shoe (6) forcefully against
the material so that the tiltable support shoe (6) is constantly in contact with
the material to be sawn. Switch on the REMS reciprocating saw. Only use sharp
and flawless saw blades. Even thrust pressure reduces the risk of accident and
is kind on the REMS reciprocating saw and the saw blade. Always feed the
connecting lead back away from the REMS reciprocating saw. Keep the REMS
reciprocating saw pressed forcefully against the material to be sawn during
sawing. If the saw blade jams whilst sawing, switch off the REMS reciprocating
saw, widen the sawn cleft with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
For plunge-cut sawing in material that is not too hard, e.g. wood, plastic, plastic
pipes or alloy pipes, the saw blade can be plunged carefully into a surface
whilst sawing (Fig. 4). Use a short saw blade. Place the switched off REMS
reciprocating saw with the bottom edge of the tiltable support shoe (6) and the
tip of the saw blade at the cutting point, switch on the REMS reciprocating saw
and plunge the saw slowly sawing into the material. Preferably use REMS
reciprocating saws with stepless electronic stroke speed control. In harder
material, e.g. metal, an appropriately large hole for the saw blade should be
drilled for the sawing start.
3.3. Lubricants
Do not use lubricants for normal sawing work. These hinder the ejection of
chips from the sawing chase and therefore reduce the useful life of the saw
blade.
3.4. Low discharge protection
Use a respirator
4. Maintenance
4.1. Maintenance
4.2. Inspection/Servicing
REMS Spezial or REMS Sanitol for cooling and lubrication should be used
exclusively for sawing stainless steel and hard cast iron pipes. It is recommended
to use REMS Tiger ANC SR and one of the REMS universal saw blades 561003
... 561006. The guide holder is absolutely essential for right-angled sawing
(see 2.2.).
REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE is equipped with low discharge protection for the
rechargeable battery. This switches off the drive machine as soon as the battery
needs to be recharged. In this case remove the battery and charge with the
REMS rapid charger.
WARNING
Before any repair work, pull the mains plug or remove the battery!
The REMS reciprocating saws are maintenance-free. The gear runs in a life-
long grease filling and therefore needs no lubrication. Keep the saw blade
holder clean. Remove chips from the housing of the saw blade holder. Remove
water/moisture from the housing of the saw blade holder after every use. Lightly
lubricate the saw blade holder and saw blade clamping lever (14) with machine
oil (only REMS Puma VE). Change a defective locking screw (9) (except REMS
Puma VE). Clean plastic parts (e.g. housing, batteries) only with the REMS
CleanM (Art. No. 140119) or a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use house-
hold cleaners. These often contain chemicals which can damage the plastic
parts. Never use petrol, turpentine, thinner or similar products for cleaning.
Make sure that liquids never get inside the REMS reciprocating saw. Never
immerse the REMS reciprocating saw in liquid.
WARNING
Before any repair work, pull the mains plug or remove the battery! This
work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
The REMS reciprocating saws with universal motor have carbon brushes.
These are subject to wear and must therefore by checked and changed by
qualified specialists or an authorised REMS customer service workshop from
time to time.
