When cutting taper threads the rated current may increase for a short moment by about 50 %, without interference of the function ot the unit.
The drive units REMS Amigo and REMS Amigo 2 Compact are equipped with an overload protection which disconnects the motor when overloaded. In this case,
press green button (10) on the motor handle. See also section 5. Troubles.

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

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 installa-
tions in some countries, e.g. Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In this case,
use the mineral oil-free REMS Sanitol.

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 rota-
tion 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 automatically. 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!
4.1. Maintenance
The REMS Amigo is maintenance-free. The gearbox has a permanent grease
filling and therefore requires no lubrication.
Keep drive unit, quick-change die heads and seating of the drive unit clean.
Clean heavily silted die heads, e.g. with turpentine oil.
