General Safety Warnings
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
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. Unmo-
died 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.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords 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 opera-
ting a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
inuence 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 col-
lection can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 star-
ting 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.
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.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specied 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 specically 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.
6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Safety instructions for REMS reciprocating saws
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
●
Hold the power tool by the insulated handles ("A") when performing work
where the tool can come into contact with concealed electric cables or its
own power cable. Contact with a live cable can also put metal tools under voltage
and lead to electric shock.
●
Hold the power tool tightly with both hands when working and make sure
you have a rm footing. The power tool can be controlled more safety with two
hands.
●
Use personal safety equipment, e.g. protective glasses. Hot chips y off to
all sides when sawing. Keep other persons away.
●
Please note that health hazardous dusts could be produced when sawing.
Use suitable dust extractors, a respirator and disposable overalls if necessary.
Observe the national regulations.
●
Use suitable nders to locate concealed supply lines or consult the local
supply company. Contact with electric cables can cause res and electric shock.
Damage to a gas pipe can cause explosions. Penetration of a water pipe can
cause property damage or electric shock.

another device. The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can also
be used as a preliminary evaluation of the exposure.
CAUTION
The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can differ during operation
from the indicated value, dependent on the manner in which the device is used.
Dependent upon the actual conditions of use (periodic duty) it may be necessary
to establish safety precautions for the protection of the operator.
2. Preparations for Use
2.1. Electrical connection
Note the mains voltage! Before connecting the REMS reciprocating saw or
the rapid charger, check whether the voltage given on the rating plate corre-
sponds to the mains voltage. On building sites, in a wet environment, indoors
and outdoors or under similar installation conditions, only operate the power
tool on the mains with a fault current protection switch (FI switch) which inter-
rupts the power supply as soon as the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA
for 200 ms. When using an extension lead, a cable cross section suitable for
the power tool must be chosen. The extension lead must be approved for the
protection class specied in 1.5 Electrical data.
Rechargeable batteries
NOTICE
Charge the battery before inserting it into the REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE! Always
insert the battery (13) vertically into the REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE or rapid
charger until it snaps in audibly. If inserted at an angle it can cause damage to
the contacts and result in a short circuit which damages the battery.
Total discharging by undervoltage
The Li-Ion batteries may not drop below a minimum voltage because otherwise
the battery could be damaged by "total discharge". The cells of the REMS Li-Ion
battery are delivered pre-charged to approx. 40 %. Therefore the Li-Ion batteries
must be charged before use and recharged regularly. Failure to observe this
regulation of the cell manufacturer can lead to damage to the Li-Ion battery by
total discharging.
Total discharging due to storage
If a relatively low charged Li-Ion battery is stored, self discharging can lead to
total discharge damage of the battery after longer storage. Li-Ion batteries must
therefore be charged before storing and recharged every six months at the
latest and charged again before use.
NOTICE
Charge the battery before use. Recharge Li-Ion batteries regularly to avoid
their total discharge. The rechargeable battery will be damaged by total
discharge.
1 2
Only use a REMS rapid charger for charging. New Li-Ion batteries and Li-Ion
batteries which have not been used for a long time only reach full capacity after
several charges.
Rapid charger Li-ion/NiCd (Art. No. 571560)
The left control lamp lights up and remains green when the mains plug is
plugged in. If a battery is inserted in the REMS rapid charger, the green control
lamp ashes to indicate that the battery is charging. The green light stops
ashing and remains on to signal that the battery is fully charged. If the red
control lamp ashes, the battery is defective. If the red control lamp comes on
and remains on, this indicates that the temperature of the rapid charger and /
or the battery is outside the permissible range of 0°C to +45°C (32°F – +113°F).
NOTICE
The REMS rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.
2.2. Sawing with guide holder (2) (right-angled sawing)
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before tting/removing the
guide holder!
Push the bearing pin (3) of the guide holder (2) into the REMS reciprocating
saw from the side so that the limit pin of the guide holder runs in the longitudinal
slit in the REMS reciprocating saw.
NOTICE
The guide holder must be used to achieve right-angled saw cuts because
exact right-angled positioning and guiding of the REMS reciprocating saw is
not possible by hand.
2.3. Hand-guided sawing
The REMS reciprocating saw is used without a guide holder (2). It must be
pressed forcefully against the material when sawing so that the support shoe
(6) is constantly in contact with the material being sawn. The material to be
sawn must be secured against being ung away.
2.4. Selecting the suitable saw blade
In your own interest, use only REMS quality saw blades for all REMS recipro-
cating saws otherwise your warranty rights will be voided!
REMS special saw blades 2"/140-2.5 or 2"/140-3.2, 4"/200-3.2 and
6"/260-3.2 (Fig. 8) for all REMS Tiger models
Developed especially for REMS Tiger. Absolutely essential for right-angled
sawing and fast disassembly of steel pipes with force-transmitting guide holder.
This produces multiple thrust pressure by a ve-fold force-transmitting leverage.
REMS special saw-blades with double-sided hinge with extra wide clamping
surface for exact seat, extra thick, rigid and unbendable for high stability. Coarse,
corrugated teeth for fast cutting. Much longer service life. Normal saw blades
with one-sided hinge are useless for right-angled sawing with a guide holder
because they break at the clamping point due to high thrust pressure.
REMS universal saw blade 100/150/200/300 (Fig. 8) for all REMS Tiger,
REMS Cat models
For free-hand sawing and sawing with force-transmitting guide holder. Only 1
REMS universal saw blade for all sawing work instead of many different saw
blades. Tenacious material, highly exible, also for wall-ush sawing. Double-
sided hinge with extra wide clamping surface for exact seat and high stability.
Alternating tooth pitch (combi-teeth), very highly hardened in the teeth area.
Excellent sawing performance and very long service life as a result. Also for
materials that are difcult to cut, e.g. stainless steel pipes, hard cast iron pipes
etc. and for sawing wood with nails, pallets. Normal saw blades with one-sided
hinge are useless for the high thrust pressure when sawing with a guide holder;
they break at the clamping point.
REMS saw blades for all REMS reciprocating saws
For special sawing work with metals, wood, building materials and plastics
numerous REMS saw blades or different shape, length and tooth pitch with
conventional (one-sided) hinge are available: See saw blade table Fig. 8.
2.5. Fitting the saw blade
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before tting/removing the
saw blade!
All REMS Tiger, REMS Cat models (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3)
Do not place the REMS reciprocating saw on the anti-kink sleeve of the
connecting lead to t the REMS saw blade, otherwise it will be damaged! Loosen
the clamping screw (9) of the saw blade pressure piece (4) until the saw blade
can be inserted over the centring pin. The REMS special saw blade and the
REMS universal saw blade are between the two arms of the U-shaped saw blade
pressure piece (Fig. 2). REMS saw blades with conventional (single) tang must
lie within the recess in the base of the saw blade pressure piece (Fig. 3). Screw
the saw blade pressure piece tight with the clamping screw (9) otherwise the
centring pin will be damaged or sheared off. The centring pin does not have the
task of holding the saw blade. This is done exclusively by clamping with the
clamping screw (9). If the clamping screw (9) can no longer be tightened because
its socket head or the Allen key is worn, the centring pin shears off. Therefore
renew a worn clamping screw (9) and Allen key in good time.
REMS Puma VE (Fig. 5.)
Do not place the REMS reciprocating saw on the anti-kink sleeve of the
connecting lead to t the REMS saw blade, otherwise it will be damaged! Swing
up the saw blade clamping lever (14) by hand and hold it. Insert the saw blade
(5) either with the teeth facing down or turned 180° facing up. Release the saw
blade clamping lever (14), this is spring-loaded and clamps the saw blade
automatically. Check the saw blade (5) for tight t. The saw blade turned upwards
allows sawing cuts near to a surface (Fig. 7.)
2.6. Setting the length-adjustable support shoe, only REMS Puma VE (Fig. 6.)
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before adjusting the length-
adjustable, tiltable support shoe (6)!
Take the Allen key out of the holder (15) and undo the two clamping screws
(16). The tiltable support shoe (6) can be adjusted steplessly by 40 mm in
longitudinal direction. Set the desired position, tighten the clamping screws

lie within the recess in the base of the saw blade pressure piece (Fig. 3). Screw
the saw blade pressure piece tight with the clamping screw (9) otherwise the
centring pin will be damaged or sheared off. The centring pin does not have the
task of holding the saw blade. This is done exclusively by clamping with the
clamping screw (9). If the clamping screw (9) can no longer be tightened because
its socket head or the Allen key is worn, the centring pin shears off. Therefore
renew a worn clamping screw (9) and Allen key in good time.
REMS Puma VE (Fig. 5.)
Do not place the REMS reciprocating saw on the anti-kink sleeve of the
connecting lead to t the REMS saw blade, otherwise it will be damaged! Swing
up the saw blade clamping lever (14) by hand and hold it. Insert the saw blade
(5) either with the teeth facing down or turned 180° facing up. Release the saw
blade clamping lever (14), this is spring-loaded and clamps the saw blade
automatically. Check the saw blade (5) for tight t. The saw blade turned upwards
allows sawing cuts near to a surface (Fig. 7.)
2.6. Setting the length-adjustable support shoe, only REMS Puma VE (Fig. 6.)
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before adjusting the length-
adjustable, tiltable support shoe (6)!
Take the Allen key out of the holder (15) and undo the two clamping screws
(16). The tiltable support shoe (6) can be adjusted steplessly by 40 mm in
longitudinal direction. Set the desired position, tighten the clamping screws
eng eng
(16), insert the Allen key in the holder (15). This adjustment possibility allows
better utilisation of partially blunt saw blades and prevents the tip of the saw
blade from hitting a wall/inside of a pipe (take saw blade stroke into consid-
eration).
3. Operation
Use eye protection Use a respirator
Use ear protection
WARNING
Suitable dust extractors, a respirator and disposable overalls must be used for
work which could produce health hazardous dusts. Observe the national regu-
lations.
REMS Tiger ANC: Switch on/off with on/off safety switch (7).
REMS "VE" reciprocating saws: Stepless electronic stroke speed control by
variable pressure on the stepless safety switch (accelerator switch) (10).
REMS Tiger ANC SR: Stepless electronic stroke speed control. Preselection
of the desired number of strokes at the thumbwheel (12). Switch on/off with on/
off safety switch (7).
REMS Tiger ANC pneumatic: To overcome the on lock, rst press down the
latch of the lever (11) and then the lever. The number of strokes is controlled
by pressing the lever with latch (11) appropriately.
3.1. Work procedure for sawing with a guide holder
WARNING
Only hold the REMS reciprocating saw by the insulated handles ("A") (Fig. 1),
not on the guide holder (2), when performing work where the tool can come
into contact with concealed electric cables or its own power cable. Contact with
a live cable can also put metal tools or the guide holder under voltage and lead
to electric shock.
NOTICE
Only use REMS special saw blades or REMS universal saw blades (see 2.4.).
Normal saw blades with one-sided hinge are useless for right-angled sawing
with a guide holder because they break at the clamping point due to high thrust
pressure.
Fit the guide holder as described in 2.2. Place the REMS reciprocating saw
with guide holder on the pipe so that the clamping spindle with toggle (1) is
vertical. Tighten the clamping spindle. Press the switch (7 or 10) at the same
time as grasping the motor handle or actuate the lever with latch (11) and pull
up the REMS reciprocating saw until the pipe or prole is sawn through. The
start of sawing can be improved especially with large diameters (e.g. 4") by not
switching on the REMS reciprocating saw until the saw blade is already in
contact with the pipe. Make sure that the prism of the guide holder is always
kept free from chips, otherwise the right-angled cut will be impaired. To achieve
optimum sawing speed and to preserve the saw blade, only select medium
thrust pressure. Heavy thrust pressure does not increase the sawing speed!
REMS Tiger ANC is equipped with an overload protection (8). This is triggered
when the thrust pressure is too great; the button jumps out slightly and the
REMS reciprocating saw stops. After a few seconds the overload protection
can be pushed back in and the REMS reciprocating saw can be switched back
on.
3.2. Work procedure for hand-guided sawing
WARNING
Only hold the REMS reciprocating saw by the insulated handles ("A") (Fig. 1)
when performing work where the tool can come into contact with concealed
electric cables or its own power cable. Contact with a live cable can also put
metal tools under voltage and lead to electric shock.
For straight or curved cuts press the tiltable support shoe (6) forcefully against
the material so that the tiltable support shoe (6) is constantly in contact with
the material to be sawn. Switch on the REMS reciprocating saw. Only use sharp
and awless saw blades. Even thrust pressure reduces the risk of accident and
is kind on the REMS reciprocating saw and the saw blade. Always feed the
connecting lead back away from the REMS reciprocating saw. Keep the REMS
reciprocating saw pressed forcefully against the material to be sawn during
sawing. If the saw blade jams whilst sawing, switch off the REMS reciprocating
saw, widen the sawn cleft with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
For plunge-cut sawing in material that is not too hard, e.g. wood, plastic, plastic
pipes or alloy pipes, the saw blade can be plunged carefully into a surface
whilst sawing (Fig. 4). Use a short saw blade. Place the switched off REMS
reciprocating saw with the bottom edge of the tiltable support shoe (6) and the
tip of the saw blade at the cutting point, switch on the REMS reciprocating saw
and plunge the saw slowly sawing into the material. Preferably use REMS
reciprocating saws with stepless electronic stroke speed control. In harder
material, e.g. metal, an appropriately large hole for the saw blade should be
drilled for the sawing start.
3.3. Lubricants
Do not use lubricants for normal sawing work. These hinder the ejection of
chips from the sawing chase and therefore reduce the useful life of the saw
blade.
REMS Spezial or REMS Sanitol for cooling and lubrication should be used
exclusively for sawing stainless steel and hard cast iron pipes. It is recommended
to use REMS Tiger ANC SR and one of the REMS universal saw blades 561003
... 561006. The guide holder is absolutely essential for right-angled sawing
(see 2.2.).
3.4. Low discharge protection
REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE is equipped with low discharge protection for the
rechargeable battery. This switches off the drive machine as soon as the battery
needs to be recharged. In this case remove the battery and charge with the
REMS rapid charger.
4. Maintenance
WARNING
Before any repair work, pull the mains plug or remove the battery!
4.1. Maintenance
The REMS reciprocating saws are maintenance-free. The gear runs in a life-
long grease lling and therefore needs no lubrication. Keep the saw blade
holder clean. Remove chips from the housing of the saw blade holder. Remove
water/moisture from the housing of the saw blade holder after every use. Lightly
lubricate the saw blade holder and saw blade clamping lever (14) with machine
oil (only REMS Puma VE). Change a defective locking screw (9) (except REMS
Puma VE). Clean plastic parts (e.g. housing, batteries) only with the REMS
CleanM (Art. No. 140119) or a mild soap and a damp cloth. Do not use house-
hold 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 inside the REMS reciprocating saw. Never
immerse the REMS reciprocating saw in liquid.
4.2. Inspection/Servicing
WARNING
Before any repair work, pull the mains plug or remove the battery! This
work may only be performed by qualied personnel.
The REMS reciprocating saws with universal motor have carbon brushes.
These are subject to wear and must therefore by checked and changed by
qualied specialists or an authorised REMS customer service workshop from
time to time.
