General Safety Instructions for power tools
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data which come with
this power tool. Failure to heed the following instructions can lead to electric shock, re and/or
severe injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.

6
d) Do not misuse the connecting cable to carry or hang up the power tool or to pull the
plug out of the socket. Keep the connecting cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving tool parts. Damaged or knotted cables increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not take your safety for granted and ignore the safety rules for power tools even if
you are very familiar with the power tool after frequent use. Careless handling can lead to
severe injury within split seconds.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive 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 persons unfamiliar
with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

7
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before 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) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
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.
h) Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe handling and control of the power tool in
unforeseeable situations.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable
for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery
packs may create a risk of injury and re.
c) 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 together may cause burns or a re.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, ush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
e) Do not use a damaged or modied battery. Damaged or modied batteries can behave
unexpectedly and lead to res, explosions or injuries.
f) Do not expose a battery for re or high temperatures. Fire or temperatures above 130 °C
(265 °F) can cause an explosion.
g) Follow all the instructions for charging and never charge the battery or the cordless tool
outside the temperature range specied in the operating instructions. Incorrect charging
or charging outside the permitted temperature range can destroy the battery and increase
the re risk.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b) Never service damaged batteries. All maintenance of batteries should only be carried out
by the manufacturer or authorised customer service points.

General Safety Instructions for power tools
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data which come with
this power tool. Failure to heed the following instructions can lead to electric shock, re and/or
severe injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
• Hold the power tool rmly by the housing grip (5) and pistol grip (9) and make sure you
are standing rmly when working. The power tool produces a very high pressing force. It is
safer to hold the tool with both hands. Therefore be very careful. Keep children and
bystanders away while operating the power tool.
• Do not reach into moving parts in the pressing area/expanding area. There is a risk of
injury by crushing ngers or hands.
• Never operate radial presses with the tongs retaining bolt unlocked (1). There is a risk of
fracture and ying parts can cause serious injuries.
• Always position the radial press with pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs, pressing ring
with adapter tongs on the press tting at a right angle to the pipe axis. If the radial press
is positioned askew to the pipe axis, its high drive force will pull it to a right angle to the pipe
axis. This could crush hands or other parts of the body and/or there is a risk of fracture
whereby ying parts can cause serious injuries.
• Do not start radial presses without pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs or pressing ring
with adapter tongs. Do not start the pressing process except to make a press joint. Unless
counter pressure is applied by the press tting, the drive unit, pressing tongs, Mini pressing
tongs, pressing ring and adapter tongs will be needlessly stressed.
• Before using pressing tongs, pressing rings with adapter tongs (pressing jaws, pressing
slings with adapter jaws) from other manufacturers, check whether these are suitable for
the REMS radial presses. Pressing tongs, pressing rings with adapter tongs of other makes
can be used in REMS Power-Press SE, REMS Power-Press, REMS Power-Press ACC, REMS
Akku-Press and REMS Akku-Press ACC if they are designed for the necessary thrust force
of 32 kN, t mechanically in the REMS drive unit, can be properly locked and break without
danger, e.g. without the risk of aying parts of the press jaws, at the end of their life or when
overloaded. It is recommended to only use pressing tongs and pressing rings with adapter
tongs which are designed with a safety factor ≥ 1.4 against permanent fracture, i.e. withstand
a necessary thrust force of 32 kN up to a thrust force of 45 kN. Also read and observe the
instruction manuals and safety instructions of the respective manufacturer/supplier of the
pressing tongs, pressing rings with adapter tongs and the installation and assembly
instructions of the manufacturer supplier of the press tting system to be pressed and
observe any restrictions for use that are specied there. Failure to do so could lead to fracture
and ying parts can cause serious injuries.

9
• Only operate the axial press with pressing heads fully inserted. Failure to do so could lead
to fracture and ying parts can cause serious injuries.
• Always screw expanding heads as far as they will go onto the expander. Failure to do so
could lead to fracture and ying parts can cause serious injuries.
• Use only undamaged pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs, pressing rings, adapter tongs,
pressing heads and expanding heads. Damaged pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs,
pressing rings, adapter tongs, pressing heads and expanding heads can jam or fracture and/
or the press tting will be faulty. Do not attempt to repair damaged pressing tongs, Mini
pressing tongs, pressing rings, adapter tongs, pressing heads and expanding heads. Failure
to do so could lead to fracture and ying parts can cause serious injuries.
• Pull out the plug or remove the battery before assembly/disassembly of pressing tongs,
Mini pressing tongs, pressing rings, adapter tongs, pressing heads and expanding
heads. There is a risk of injury.
• Comply with the maintenance regulations for the power tool and follow the
maintenance instructions for pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs, pressing rings,
adapter tongs, pressing heads and expanding heads. Following the maintenance
instructions has a positive effect on the life of the power tool, the pressing tongs, Mini
pressing tongs, pressing rings, adapter tongs, pressing heads and widening heads.
• Check the connecting cable and extension leads of the power tool regularly for damage.
Have these renewed by qualied experts or an authorised REMS customer service workshop
in case of damage.
• Only allow trained persons to use the power tool. Apprentices may only use the power
tool when they are over 16, when this is necessary for their training and when they are
supervised by a trained operative.
• Children and persons who, due to their physical, sensory or mental abilities or lack of
experience and knowledge are unable to operate the power tool safely may not use this
power tool without supervision or instruction by a responsible person. Otherwise there is
a risk of injury due to false operation.
• Only use approved and appropriately marked extension leads with a sufcient cable
cross-section. Use extension leads up to a length of 10 m with cable cross-section 1.5 mm²,
from 10 – 30 m with cable cross-section 2.5 mm².
Safety Instructions for batteries
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data which come with
this power tool. Failure to heed the following instructions can lead to electric shock, re and/or
severe injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
• Only use the battery in REMS power tools. Only then is the battery safe from dangerous
overloading.

10
• Only use original REMS batteries with the voltage specied on the rating plate. Using
other batteries can lead to injuries and risk of re due to exploding batteries.
• Use the battery and the rapid charger only in the specied operating temperature
range.
• Only recharge REMS batteries in the REMS rapid charger. There is a risk of re if an
unsuitable battery charger is used.
• Charge the battery to full capacity in the REMS rapid charger before using for the rst
time. Batteries are delivered partly charged.
• Insert the battery into the battery compartment straight and without force. There is a risk
of bending the battery contacts and damaging the battery.
• Protect the batteries against heat, sunlight, re, moisture and wet. There is a risk of
explosion and re.
• Do not use the batteries in areas where there is a risk of explosion and in the vicinity of
inammable gases, solvents, dust, fumes, liquids for example. There is a risk of explosion
and re.
• Do not open the battery or modify its construction. There is a risk of explosion and re
due to short-circuiting.
• Do not use batteries with damaged housings or damaged contacts. Damage
to or improper use of the battery can cause fumes to escape. The fumes can irritate the
respiratory tracts. Let in fresh air and consult a doctor in case of symptoms.
• Fluid can leak from the battery when used improperly. Do not touch the uid. Leaking
battery uid can cause skin irritation and burns. Rinse off immediately with water in case of
contact. Also consult a doctor if the uid gets into the eyes.
• Observe the safety instructions on the battery and the rapid charger.
• Keep unused batteries away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small
metal objects which could cause bridging of the contacts. There is a risk of explosion and
re due to short-circuiting.
• Remove the battery before stowing/storing the power tool for long periods of time.
Protect the battery contacts against short-circuiting, e.g. with a cap. This reduces the risk of
uids escaping from the batteries.
• Do not throw defective batteries in the normal household waste. Hand the defective
batteries over to an authorised REMS contract service workshop or a recognised disposal
company. Observe the national regulations.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children. Batteries can be life threatening if swallowed, seek
medical assistance immediately.
• Avoid contact with leaking batteries. Leaking uid can cause skin irritation and burns. Rinse
off immediately with water in case of contact. Also consult a doctor if the uid gets into the
eyes.
• Take the batteries out of the power tool when they are empty. This reduces the risk of
uids escaping from the batteries.
• Never recharge the non-rechargeable batteries, open them, throw them on res or
create a short-circuit. The batteries can cause res and burst. There is a risk of injury.
