The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Donotusethepowertooliftheswitchdoesnotturnitonandoff. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnecttheplugfromthepowersourceand/orthebatterypackfrom

storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
d) Storeidlepowertoolsoutofthereachofchildrenanddonotallowpersons

Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe handling and control of the
power tool in unforeseeable situations.
5) Batterytooluseandcare
a) Rechargeonlywiththechargerspeciedbythemanufacturer. A charger
that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of re when used
with another battery pack.
b) Usepowertoolsonlywithspecicallydesignatedbatterypacks. Use of any
other battery packs may create a risk of injury and re.
c) Whenbatterypackisnotinuse,keepitawayfromothermetalobjects,like

e) Donotuseadamagedormodiedbattery. Damaged or modied batteries
can behave unexpectedly and lead to res, explosions or injuries.
f) Donotexposeabatteryforreorhightemperatures. Fire or temperatures
above 130°C (265°F) can cause an explosion.
g) Followalltheinstructionsforchargingandneverchargethebatteryorthe

range can destroy the battery and increase the re risk.
6) Service
a) Haveyourpowertoolservicedbyaqualiedrepairpersonusingonly

is maintained.
b) Neverservicedamagedbatteries. All maintenance of batteries should only be
carried out by the manufacturer or authorised customer service points.
Safetyinstructionsforpresses
WARNING
Readallthesafetynotes,instructions,illustrationsandtechnicaldatawhich
comewiththispowertool. Failure to heed the following instructions can lead to
electric shock, re and/or severe injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
●
Holdthepowertoolrmlybythehousinggrip(6)andpistolgrip(9)and
makesureyouarestandingrmlywhenworking. 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.
●
Donotreachintomovingpartsinthepressingarea/expandingarea. There
is a risk of injury by crushing ngers or hands.
●
Neveroperateradialpresseswiththetongs retaining bolt unlocked (2).
There is a risk of fracture and ying parts can cause serious injuries.
●
Alwayspositiontheradialpresswithpressingtongs,Minipressingtongs,
pressingringwithadaptertongsonthepressttingatarightangletothe
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.
●
Donotstartradialpresseswithoutpressingtongs,Minipressingtongsor
pressingringwithadaptertongs. 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.
●
Beforeusingpressingtongs,pressingringswithadaptertongs(pressing
jaws,pressingslingswithadapterjaws)fromothermanufacturers,check
whetherthesearesuitablefortheREMSradialpresses. 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 specied there. Failure to do so
could lead to fracture and ying parts can cause serious injuries.

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.
