2. Preparations for Use

2.1. Electrical connection
Ensure correct mains voltage! Before connecting the drive unit respec-
tively 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
case of comparable type of use, only operate the equipment off the mains
using a 30mA fault current protected switch (FI breaker).
The battery supplied with REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE as well as spare bat-
teries are not charged. Charge battery before initial operation. Use only
REMS rapid-charger (565220) for charging. Once the battery is inserted
in the charger, the red indicator lamp at the charger blinks. The indicator
lamp lights permanently after about 1 h, i.e. the battery is charged. The
battery reaches its full capacity only after several charges.
2.2. Sawing with guide support (square cutting)
Insert mounting pin (3) of the guide support (2) sideways into the saw so
that the stop pin of the guide support will move in the slot of the machine.
Attention: To obtain square cuts, the use of the REMS guide support is
indispensable. Precise positioning is not possible when saw is guided by
hand.
2.3. Free hand sawing
The reciprocating saw is used without the guide support (2). It must be
pressed forcefully against the material during sawing, in a way that the
support shoe (6) touches the material at any time.
2.4. Choice of suitable blades
Only use the quality blades of REMS in combination with all REMS
reciprocating saws as otherwise any guarantee claim becomes invalid!
For getting right angle cuts (e.g. pipes) with all REMS Tiger models it is
essential not only to use the power transmitting guide support (see 2.2.)

but also the REMS special saw blade up to 2" or 4". REMS special saw
blades come with a double tang, are extra thick and resistant to bending
and distortion. Normal saw blades with single tang do not withstand the
high feed pressure during sawing with the guide support. They cut skew
and break at the mounting point.
Furthermore, especially with REMS Panther ANC VE, REMS Cat ANC
VE and REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE the REMS universal saw blades (561003
... 561006) should be used. For special operations there are other REMS
saw blades available with different forms, lengths and spacings. Please
use the blade best suited by size, length and tooth pitch. An unsuitable
blade will easily break or become prematurely blunt and will result in in-
accurate cuts. For sawing stainless steel pipes and hard cast iron pipes
use REMS Tiger ANC SR and one of the REMS universal saw blades
561003 ... 561006.
While sawing excessive dust generating materials, e.g. blaster, breeze
blocks, for safety reasons and for protecting the gear against wear, apply
dust extractors.
2.5. Installing the saw blade
When installing the saw blade, take care not to place the saw on the
anti-kink sleeve on the mains lead, otherwise the lead may be dama-
ged. Loosen clamping screw (9) on saw blade thrust washer (4) so that
the blade can be inserted over the centering pin. The REMS special saw
blade must be positioned between the two arms of the U-shaped thrust
washer (Fig. 2). REMS saw blades must be positioned in the recess in
the base of the thrust washer (Fig. 3). Secure the saw blade tightly with
clamping screw (9), otherwise the centering pin may become damaged
or could shear. The centering pin is not intended to hold the saw blade.
This function is performed by the clamping action of clamping screw (9).
lf this cannot be properly tightened, because the screw socket or socket
wrench is worn, the centering pin will shear off. For this reason, replace
the clamping screw (9) or socket wrench well before wear becomes
excessive.

3. Operating

REMS Tiger ANC: On-/off with touch control (7).
REMS Tiger ANC VE, REMS Panther ANC VE, REMS Cat ANC VE and
REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE: Stepless speed control by pressing switch (10).
2
REMS Tiger ANC SR: Speed adjustment with dial (12). On/off switching with
tip switch (7).
2
REMS Tiger ANC pneumatic: In order to release the safety catch (approved
2
by TÜV) first pull the lever (11) sideways and then press the lever down.
3.1. Operation while sawing with guide support
Mount guide support as described under 2.2. Position saw with guide sup-
port onto the pipe so that the clamp spindle is vertical. Press tip switch (7
or 10) while holding the motor handle at the same time, respectively press
lever (11), and pull up saw until pipe or rod is cut through. Start-sawing,
especially at large diameters (e.g. 4"), can be improved by not switching
the motor on before the saw blade touches the pipe. Note that the prism
of the guide support is to be kept clean all the time, otherwise square cut-
ting will be effected. For obtaining optimum stroke speed and for protec-
ting the saw blade, only apply moderate feed forward. High force does
not make sawing faster!
3.2. Operation while sawing free-hand
For straight or curved cutting, press support shoe (6) forcefully against the
material in a way that the support shoe (6) touches the material at any ti-
me. Switch machine on. Use only sharp and faultless blades. Take care
to cut at a uniform feeding speed. This will reduce the risk of accidents
and wear on tool and blade. Always keep the power cable towards the re-
ar of the machine.
Plunge cutting into a plain surface: lf the material is not too hard e.g.
wood or plasterboards, the saw blade in motion can be plunged carefully
into the material (see Fig. 4). Before switching on machine place tip of
saw on the cutting point with machine resting on the lower edge of sup-
port shoe. Switch on saw and plunge blade carefully into material. For
hard material such as metal first drill a starting hole according to the size
of the saw blade. lt is important to press the support shoe (6) firmly against
the material to be cut in order to obtain a uniform and smooth cutting
operation.
3.3. Lubricants
Do not use any lubricants. They will prevent the ejection of chips from the
cutting point and will reduce the life of the saw blades.
