Pressure Monitoring
The pressure is monitored during pressing in the REMS
Akku-Press 22V ACC. Upon completion of the pressing
process, the pressure indicator LED lights white if the
pressure is within specification. If this lights red, the
pressure was less than specified. If it lights red and the
drive unit is switched off, the pressure was greater
than specified. Hold the reset button until the pressing
rollers have moved back completely. If the pressure was
out of specification, a new pressing process can be started
and the pressure indicator LED then lights white again
during the pressing process. After a dwell time of
approx. 2 minutes, the LED goes out but lights up
again, when the drive unit is switched back on. If the
pressure indicator LED lights red. it is recommended to
return the equipment to your local HSS depot.
Never push the equipment beyond its design
limits. If it will not do what you want with reasonable
ease and speed, assume you have the wrong tool for the
job. Contact your local HSS Hire Shop for advice. Keep the
equipment clean - you will find this less of a chore if you
clean it regularly, rather than wait until the end of the
hire period.
When not in use, store the equipment somewhere
clean, dry and safe from thieves.
Disconnect the battery and place with the charger in
the carry case.
Remove the fitted jaw and place the de-burrer, jaw and
unit in the carry case ready for return, to your local HSS
Hire Shop.

Each pipe connector has a pair of raised ridges
which locate within a recess in the crimping jaws. One
ridge for each side of the connector.
Prepare the pipe by removing burrs and reaming the
edge with the tool provided. Place the connector onto
the pipe and place the jaws over the ridge on the pipe
side of the connector.
Keep the safety inching switch pressed until the pressing
is finished and the pressing tongs or rings are completely
closed. After completion of pressing. the drive unit
switches over automatically to retraction. This is indicated
by an acoustic signal (click).

For advice on the safety and suitability of this
equipment contact your local HSS Hire Shop.
There is a serious risk of personal injury if you do
not follow all instructions laid down in this guide.
The hirer has a responsibility to ensure that all
necessary risk assessments have been completed
prior to the use of this equipment.
This equipment should only be used by an
operator who has been deemed competent to do
so by his/her employer.
This equipment should be used by an able bodied,
competent adult who has read and understood these
instructions. Anyone with either a temporary or permanent
disability, should seek expert advice before using it.
Keep children, animals and bystanders away from
the work area. Cordon off a NO GO area using either
cones, barriers or tape, available for hire from your local
HSS Hire Shop.
Never use this equipment if you are ill,
feeling tired, or under the influence of
alcohol or drugs.
Wear practical, protective clothing, gloves and
footwear. Avoid loose garments and jewellery that
could catch in moving parts, tie back long hair.
Ensure the work area is well lit and ventilated, if in
doubt, ask about lighting and ventilation equipment at
your local HSS Hire Shop.
Do not work near flammable gases or liquids, petrol
or paint thinner fumes for example. Keep combustible
materials at a safe distance - at least 5m.
Always ensure that the ON/OFF switch is locked in
the OFF position when the crimper is not in use.
Remove the battery and store it carefully in the carry
case provided. Never leave the crimper unattended.
Do not use this equipment on live water or gas pipes.
To safeguard against the risk of fire, never allow
the battery terminals to come in contact with
metal objects.
Make sure that everyone is warned of what you
are doing.
Check the condition of the equipment before use.
If it shows signs of damage or excessive wear, return it to
your local HSS Hire Shop.
The battery charger is designed to plug straight
into a standard 230V 13-amp power socket.
To remove the battery from the crimper, press the
lock tab in with finger or thumb and pull the
battery clear.
To recharge, insert the battery pack into the charger,
it will only go in one way. Then plug the charger into a
suitable power supply and switch the power ON,
recharging is fully automatic.
Depending upon conditions, the battery will be fully
charged between 45 and 90 minutes.
If an extension lead is used for the charger it should be
fully unwound and loosely coiled, away from the
equipment. Never run leads through water, over sharp
edges or where they could trip someone.
Using the charger in very damp or wet conditions can
be dangerous.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, use a suitable RCD
(Residual Current-Operated Device) available from your
local HSS Hire Shop, or power the charger from a mains
circuit with a built-in RCD.
If the charger fails, or if its power supply cable or plug gets
damaged, return it. Never try to repair it yourself. Never
carry or pull the charger by its power supply cable.
Select the correct set of crimping jaws for the work in
progress, there is a choice of 15, 22, 28 and 35mm jaws
suitable for mannesman or yorkshire press fit pipe fittings.
Oversize jaws are available to press joints 42-54mm. If you
have any other type of fitting contact your local HSS
Hire Shop for advice.
Be sure to follow all instructions and recommendations
supplied by the fitting manufacturer.
To fit a set of jaws, rotate the retaining pin half a turn
then withdraw it from the chuck. Insert the jaws into the
chuck recess then push the retaining pin back in so that it
locates through the jaw.
It may be necessary to move the jaws out slightly to allow
the pin to locate. Once in place, rotate the locating pin
half a turn to secure in place.
All that remains is to attach a fully charged battery,
simply insert the battery into the recess at the rear of the
unit until it clicks in position.
The unit is now ready to use.
Having fitted the unit with a fully charged battery and the
correct size jaw, check the unit for correct operation.
