2. Preparations for Use
2.1. Electrical connection
Before connecting the unit, check whether voltage on the rating plate
matches the mains voltage.
2.2. Tools
Use only original quick-change die heads of REMS eva hand die stock.
Up to 1¼" diameter the die heads fit the octagonal seat from the front
of the drive unit (Fig. 2). They snap-in automatically.
The die heads protude the back of the housing. This facilitates taking
the die head out of the drive unit by jolting the protuding edge against
a plain surface or edge (fig. 3).
For inserting the 1" quick-change die head into the REMS Amigo E
make sure that the groove in the octagon coincides with the locking
pin of the octagonal seat of the REMS Amigo E.
When using the die heads 1½ and 2" with the REMS Amigo 2 and
REMS Amigo 2 Compact drive units, take off retaining ring (11) with a
suitable tool, e. g. screwdriver. Remove stop ring (Fig. 4), insert 1½"
or 2" die head and replace ring (11). Do not work without retaining
ring (11). Otherwise the die head may be pushed out, e.g. during
start-cutting.
Changing dies is necessary when the dies are used or worn or a thread
is to be cut on a short piece of pipe. In both cases clamp the die head
in a vice, remove cover, then carefully knock out dies from outside to
in. Knock in new dies with the start-cutting edge pointing towards the
bottom in corresponding slots (die 1 in slot 1, die 2 in slot 2, die 3 in
slot 3, die 4 in slot 4) to the extent that they do not project beyond the
housing. Install cover, lightly tighten screws. With a soft pin (copper,
brass or hard wood) carefully knock out dies carefully outwards until
they are in contact with the edge of the cover. Tighten screws
securely.
In case a thread is to be cut on a short piece of pipe, use REMS eva
quick-change die head S with the additional pipe guidance on the cover
side. These need to be operated from the cover side and have to be
mounted the other way around. Therefore the dies are to be inserted
with the start-cutting side pointing towards the top in following order:
die 1 in slot 1, die 2 in slot 4, die 3 in slot 3, die 4 in slot 2.
2.3. Support bracket
The support bracket (2) serves to support the die stock against torque
in both directions, i. e. for advance and reverse rotation of the die head,
for right and left hand threads. Support bracket must always be
used!
2.4. Thread-cutting oils
Use only REMS thread-cutting oils. You will have perfect threading
results, long durability of dies as well as high protection of the drive
unit. REMS recommends the use of the practical and economical spray
can.
REMS Spezial: High-alloyed, mineral based hread-cutting oil. For all
materials: steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, plastics. Pleasant
to work with. Washes out with water, approved by experts.
Mineral based thread-cutting oils are not permitted for drinking water

installations in some countries, e.g. Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
In this case, use the mineral oil-free REMS Sanitol.
REMS Sanitol: Mineral oil-free, synthetic thread-cutting oil for drinking
water supplies. Completely water-soluable. Complies with regulations:
in Germany DVGW Approval No. DW-0201AS2032, in Austria ÖVGW
Approval No. W 1.303, in Switzerland SVGW Approval No. 7808-649.
Viscosity at –10°C: 190 mPa s (cP). Pumpable to –28°C. No water
added. Easy to use. Dyed red for rinse-out inspection.
Both types of thread-cutting oils are available in spray cans as well as
in cans and barrels.
Use thread-cutting oils only undiluted!
3. Operation
3.1. Working procedure
Cut pipe/rod at a right angle and burr-free. Fix the support bracket (2)
about 10 cm (4") from the end of the pipe (rod) by putting the support
bracket from underneath against the pipe (rod) so that it is centered
between the prism clamping jaw (3) and the feed screw (4). Tighten
the feed screw. Spray REMS thread-cutting oil onto the threading
section (see 2.2.). Insert the selected quick-change die head into the
drive unit (Fig. 2). Put the unit on the pipe (rod) so that the motor
housing (6) is placed inside the bracket.
The bracket (2) of the REMS Mini-Amigo must be positioned between
the motor housing and the handle (5) (Fig. 7).
Adjust the rotation lever (7) to the requested rotation (R for right hand
threads or reverse rotation for left hand threads, L for left hand threads
or reverse rotation for right hand threads). Press tip switch (8) while
holding the motor handle (9). Press the gear handle (5) against the
material. After 1 or 2 threads, the die heads continues to cut auto-
matically. Lubricate several times with REMS Spray during thread-
cutting. The standard length for tapered threads is reached when the
front edge of the pipe is flush with the upper edge of the dies (not top
of the cover). When the desired thread length is reached, release the
tip switch (8). When the unit stops rotating, turn the rotation lever (7)
into reverse and by pressing the tip switch (8) again the die head is
running off the thread.
Only change the direction on the rotation lever (7) when the unit stops
rotating!
3.2. Production of nipples and double nipples
For clamping short pieces of pipes and for the production of nipples
and double nipples use REMS Nippelspanner. They are available in
sizes from ⅜ to 2" For clamping pipe pieces (with or without thread)
with the REMS Nippelspanner the head of the Nippelspanner is
expanded by turning the spindle with a tool (e.g. screwdriver). This
must only be done when a pipe is put on (Fig. 5).
When using the REMS Nippelspanner it must be observed that no
shorter nipples are threaded than specified in the standards.
4. Maintenance
Before maintenance work, pull the mains plug!
