If a thread is to be cut on a short length of laid pipe, the quick-change die heads
S of the REMS eva must be used with an additional pipe guidance (19) on the
cover side.
If a thread is to be cut on a short length of laid pipe, the REMS quick-change
die heads S must be used with an additional guide sleeve (19) on the cover
side.
WARNING WARNING
Do not use the REMS quick-change die heads S together with extension
(Art.-No. 522051) with an electric die stock for cutting threads. The support
bracket (2) does not fi t. There is a danger of the electric die stock being torn
from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
Changing dies in the REMS quick-change die head S (Fig. 9)
1. Clamp the REMS quick-change die head S in the vice with the octagonal seat.
2. Remove countersunk screws (15) and cover for quick-change die head S (20)
with guide sleeve (19) (do not remove the guide bushing).
3. Knock out the REMS dies (17) carefully to the centre of the die head body.
4. Knock the REMS dieheads (17) with the start cutting edge (A) towards the
bottom into the corresponding slots to the extent that they do not protrude
beyond the outer diameter of the die head body (18). The dies (17) and die
head bodies (18) are numbered. Die 1 in slot 1, die 2 in slot 2, die 3 in slot 3
and die 4 in slot 4.
5. Fit the cover for quick-change die head S (20) with pipe guide (19) and tighten
the countersunk screws (15) lightly.
6. Carefully knock the dies (17) outwards with a soft pin (copper, brass or hard
wood) until they are in contact with the edge of the cover.
7. Tighten the countersunk screws (15).
2.4. 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.
WARNING WARNING
Always use a support bracket. Otherwise there is a danger of the electric die
stock being torn from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
Only use the support bracket (2) that fi ts the electric die stock. The elec-
tric die stock could be damaged. There is also a danger of the electric die stock
being torn from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
2.5. Dual purpose holder (Fig. 8)
For cutting threads with REMS Amigo E, REMS Amigo, REMS Amigo 2 and
sawing with electric pipe reciprocating saws REMS Tiger ANC, REMS Tiger
ANC VE and REMS Tiger ANC SR.
The dual purpose holder (Fig. 8) is screwed to a workbench and serves to
support the torque which occurs when cutting threads in both directions, i.e. in
forward and reverse direction of the REMS quick-change die head for right and
left hand threads. The retaining pin (B) is provided to hold the listed REMS
Tiger ANC, REMS Tiger ANC VE and REMS Tiger ANC SR. Pipes/rods can be
cut at right angles.
2.6. Thread-cutting oils
Safety data sheets see www.rems.de → Downloads → Safety data sheets.
Only use REMS thread cutting materials. They ensure perfect cutting results,
long life of the dies and considerably relieve stress on the tools. REMS recom-
mends the practical and economical spray can/spray bottle.
NOTICE NOTICE
REMS Spezial: High-alloy mineral oil-based thread-cutting material. For all
materials: steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, plastics. Can be washed
out with water, tested by experts. Mineral oil-based thread cutting materials are
not approved for drinking water pipes in different countries, e.g. Germany,
Austria and Switzerland. Mineral oil-free REMS Sanitol must be used in this
case. Observe the national regulations.
REMS Sanitol: Mineral oil-free, synthetic thread-cutting material for drinking
water pipes. Completely soluble in water. According to regulations. In Germany
DVGW test no. DW-0201AS2032, Austria ÖVGW test no. W 1.303, Switzerland
SVGW test no. 7808-649. Viscosity at –10°C: ≤ 250 mPa s (cP). Pumpable up
to –28°C. Easy to use. Dyed red for checking washout. Observe the national
regulations.
Both thread cutting materials are available in aerosol cans, spray bottles,
canisters and barrels.
NOTICE NOTICE
All REMS thread cutting materials may only be used in undiluted form!
3. Operation
3.1. Working procedure
1. Cut pipe/rod at a right angle and burr-free.
2. Fix the support bracket (2) about 10 cm from the end of the pipe or rod by
putting the support bracket from underneath against the pipe (rod) (Fig. 5) so
that it is centred between the prism clamping jaw (3) and the feed screw (4).
Tighten the clamping spindle tightly with the lever.
3. Spray thread cutting oil (REMS aerosol can or spray bottle) onto the threading
section (see 2.6.).
4. Place the drive unit on the pipe (rod) with the REMS quick-change die head
inserted so that the motor (6) (see Fig. 1) in REMS Amigo E, REMS Amigo,
REMS Amigo 2, REMS Amigo 2 Compact, REMS Akku-Amigo 22 V comes to
rest between the forks of the support bracket.
5. Adjust the rotation ring/slide (7) to the requested rotation (R for right hand
threads or reverse rotation for left hand threads, L for left hand thread or reverse
rotation for right hand threads).
6. Press safety tip switch (8) while holding the motor handle (9), press the die
stock on the handle (5) against the material. After 1 or 2 threads the die heads
continue to cut automatically.
7. Lubricate several times with thread-cutting oil (REMS aerosol can or spray
bottle) during thread-cutting.
8. The standard length for tapered threads is reached when the front edge of the
pipe is fl ush with the upper edge of the dies (not top of the cover).
9. When the desired thread length is reached, release the safety tip switch (8).
10. When the unit stops rotating turn the rotation ring/slide (7) into reverse. The
quick-change die head (1) is run off the thread by pressing the safety tip switch
(8) again.
NOTICE NOTICE
Only switch the rotation ring/slide (7) when the machine is at standstill!
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 (21) 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 specifi ed in the standards.
4. Maintenance
Notwithstanding the maintenance described below, it is recommended to send
in the power tool to an authorised REMS contract customer service workshop
for inspection and periodic testing of electrical devices at least once a year. In
Germany, such periodic testing of electrical devices should be performed in
accordance with DIN VDE 0701-0702 and also prescribed for mobile electrical
equipment according to the accident prevention rules DGUV, regulation 3
"Electrical Systems and Equipment". In addition, the respective national safety
provisions, rules and regulations valid for the application site must be considered
and observed.
4.1. Maintenance
WARNING WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before maintenance work!
Clean the drive unit and die head seat regularly especially when this has not
been in use for a long time.
Clean heavily soiled REMS quick-change die heads (1) with turpentine oil for
example and remove stuck chips. Clean the drive unit and the holder of the
REMS quick-change die heads from time to time.
Clean plastic parts (e.g. housing) only with REMS CleanM machine cleaner
(Art. No. 140119) or a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use household
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 onto or inside the drive unit. Never immerse
the drive unit in liquid.
4.2. Inspection/repair
WARNING WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out maintenance or repair work!
This work may only be performed by qualifi ed personnel.
The gear runs in a life-long grease fi lling and therefore needs no lubrication.
The drive machine motor has carbon brushes. These are subject to wear and
must therefore by checked and changed by qualifi ed specialists or an author-
ised REMS customer service workshop from time to time. In the battery-
operated drive units, the carbon brushes of the motor are subject to wear. These
cannot be replaced; the DC motor must be replaced.
