safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow per-
sons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the po-
wer tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired by a qua-
lified expert or by an authorised REMS after-sales service facility be-
fore use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the workpiece. This is
safer than holding it with your hand, and also it frees both hands to operate
the equipment.
h) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with
these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type
of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation. All unauthorised modifications
to the power tool are prohibited for safety reasons.
E) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting battery pack.
Inserting the battery pack into power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A char-
ger that is suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of fire when used
with another battery pack.
c) Use battery tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use
of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects
like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects
that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals may cause bums or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery, avo-
id contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid
contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or bums.
f) Do not use the battery/charger at battery/charger temperatures or am-
bient temperatures of 5°C/40°F or 40°C/105°F.
g) Do not dispose defective batteries in the normal domestic waste. Take
them to an authorised REMS after-sales service facility or to a reputed
waste disposal company.
F) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using on-
ly identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the po-
wer tool is maintained.
b) Comply with maintenance instructions and instructions on tool re-
placements.
c) Check mains lead of power tool regularly and have it replaced by a
qualified expert or an authorised REMS after-sales service facility in
case of damage. Check extension cable regularly and replace it when
damaged.
Specific Safety Instructions
Since the heated electric sleeve reaches temperatures of up to 200°C, do
•
not touch the electric sleeve and their surrounding area at and after the
welding process.
Warning! On the sleeve plugs voltages up to approx. 185 V can occur du-
•
ring the welding process. Don't use defective sleeve plugs!
Don't weld wet or water containing lines!
•
Only operate the unit off the mains with a 30mA fault current protected
•
switch (FI breaker).
The welding procedure should not be repeated on the same sleeve.
•
Only use in a dry environment.

that the mains voltage is the same as specified on the rating plate. Only operate
the unit off the mains with a 30mA fault current protected switch (FI breaker).
3. Operation
3.1. Description of process
In the electric sleeve welding process (heater coil welding), the joint is
completed with the sleeve overlapping the end of the pipe. In the pro-
cess, the joint surfaces are electrically heated to welding temperature by
the resistance wires (heater coil) arranged in the sleeve, and welded
accordingly. The welding unit delivers the necessary power supply for
the type of electrical welding sleeve used. As soon as the necessary
amount of heat has been conducted to the welding point, the unit swit-
ches off automatically. The electric welding sleeve, which contracts on
heating, generates the necessary applied pressure on the joint surfaces.
To superwise a successful weld, a spot indicator on the sleeve changes
colour or an indicator pin appears (Pay attention to the manufacturer's
information of the electric welding sleeve!).
3.2. Preparations for welding
Take care to observe the information issued by the manufacturer of the
pipes or welding sleeves. The end of the pipe must be cut off square and
flat with a REMS RAS pipe cutter (see 1.1.). In addition, the end of the
pipe should be chamfered to facilitate insertion into the sleeve. This pro-
cess should be performed with a REMS RAG pipe chamfering unit (see
1.1.) Immediately before welding, the end of the pipe should be stripped
to the appropriate insertion depth (e.g. with a scraper) and the surface
cleaned with non-adherent paper or a non-fraying cloth and spirit or
industrial alcohol. The welding surfaces must not be touched again before
welding takes place. The connecting sleeve can now be installed.
3.3. Welding process
Insert sleeve plugs into the receptacles of the electric welding sleeve.
Plug connecting lead of the electric sleeve welding unit to the mains.
Press red rocker switch „Power on" (1) to I. The „Power on" (1) indicator
lamp in the rocker switch lights up. The unit tests itsef. All 3 indicator
lamps light up briefly and an audio signal is produced. The unit measures
the resistance of the connected electric welding sleeve. Once the unit
