1.8. Vibrations
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 rings, 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
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.
Rapid charger Li-ion/NiCd (Art. No. 571560)
NOTICE
Always hold the rechargeable 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 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 is outside the permis-
sible range of +5°C to +40°C.
The rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.

2.2. Installing (changing) the pressing tong (1), the pressing ring with adapter
tong (Fig. 14) in radial presses (Fig. 1, 12 and 13)
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery. Only use pressing tongs or
pressing rings with system-specific pressing contour according to the pressfit-
ting system to be pressed. REMS pressing tongs 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. Never use non-matching pressing tong
and pressing ring and adapter tong (pressing contour, size). The press joint
could be rendered useless and the machine and pressing tong or 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 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 (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 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 ring and adapter ring will be exposed to unneces-
sarily 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)
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. Lightly grease the expanding mandrel (18). Screw the selected expanding
head as far as it will go onto the expander. Only use system-specific expanding
heads. REMS expanding heads have a letter to identify the compression sleeve
system and a number to identify the size. Consult and comply with the instruc-
tions 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.
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 and REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E (Fig. 8)
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 unserviceable, and both the machine
and the expanding heads might be damaged. Lightly grease the expanding
mandrel (18). Screw the selected expanding head as far as it will go onto the
expander. REMS expanding heads P and Cu are not suitable for the Akku pipe
expander REMS Akku-Ex-Press Q & E and REMS Power-Ex-Press Q & E, and
must therefore not be used.
3. Operation
3.1. Radial presses (Figs. 1 to 6 and 12 to 14)
A test pressing with inserted press fitting must be made with the drive machine
and the respectively inserted pressing tong or pressing ring with adapter tong
before every use. The pressing tong or pressing segments (21) must close
fully. Full closure of the pressing jaws (10) both at their tips (Fig. 1, at "A") and
at the height of the connecting lug (Fig. 1 at "B") must be observed after
completing the pressing. Full closure of the pressing segments (21, at "A" and
"B") can be observed on the pressing ring when the pressing is completed.
Check the tightness of the connection (observe national specifications, stand-
ards, regulations, etc.)
The pressing tong or pressing ring and adapter tong, and especially the pressing
contour (11 / 22) of both pressing jaws (10) or all 3 pressing segments must
be checked for damage and wear before every use. Damaged or worn pressing
tongs or pressing rings may no longer be used. There is otherwise a risk of
incorrect pressing or accidents.
