General power tool safety warnings
WARNING
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi 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 pres-
ence of fl 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.
Distrac-
tions 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-
fi 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.
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 oper-
ating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the infl 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.
Protec-
tive equipment such as a 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 fi 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 and
clothing 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 collec-
tion facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

The "Pressure" regulating valve (8) can be preset with the pressure limit adjus-
ting wheel (11) in 6 pressure steps form approx. 0.5 – 6 MPa (5 – 60 bar/
73 – 870 psi). It is recommended to set the pressure limit adjusting wheel (11)
to pressure step 1 for normal pressure and leak testing of pipe systems. This
avoids undesirable overloading of the pipe system. The higher pressure settings
should only be chosen in special cases in which a higher test pressure is
required. The adjusting wheel should be set back to pressure step 1 after pres-
sure testing with the higher test pressure.
To set the pressure step, open the "Pressure" regulating valve (8) to the stop
(turn to the left), press in the pressure limit adjusting wheel (11) and set to the
desired step.
2.3. Suction hose
Screw the suction hose (2) to the suction hose nozzle (3). Do not kink the
suction hose. Only pump clean liquids.
Do not remove the suction fi lter (4) and
suction fi lter with check valve (10).
Make sure that the pressure test pump does
not suck in air.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Only operate REMS E-Push 2 with the suction fi lter (4) and suction fi lter with
check valve (10) fi tted.

NOTICE
NOTICE
REMS E-Push 2 is not intended/suitable for permanent connection to the
installation. Disconnect all hoses from the installation after completing the work.
REMS E-Push 2 may not be operated unattended.
3.1. Pressure and leak testing of pipe systems (observe EN 806-4 standard
and national regulations)
It is prohibited to connect the electric pressure test pump to the public water
supply. Water may only be sucked from open vessels (buckets).
Fill and vent the pipe system, e.g. sanitary or heating system. Place the electric
pressure test pump on a level surface.
Place the suction hose (2) with suction
fi lter with check valve (10) into a vessel (bucket) fi lled with about 10 litres of
water.
Connect the high-pressure hose (5) to the sanitary or heating system to
be checked for leaks. Open the "Test" shutoff valve (7) and the "Pressure"
regulating valve (8). Switch on the electric pressure test pump at the On/Off
switch (1). There is a pressure of approx. 0.5 MPa (5 bar/73 psi) on the pipe
system. If not, a tapping point is open in the pipe system. If the pressure is to
be increased, turn the "Pressure" regulating valve (8) and set the desired pres-
sure: turn clockwise = pressure increase, turn counterclockwise = pressure
drop. On reaching the desired pressure, close the "Test" shutoff valve (7), switch
off the electric pressure test pump at the On/Off switch (1).
The electric pressure test pump can be disconnected from the pipe system,
e.g. sanitary or heating system, to be checked for leaks during the pressure
test if the connection piece with pressure gauge and shutoff valve (12) (acces-
sory) is installed between the electric pressure test pump and the sanitary or
heating system to be checked for leaks (do not exceed the maximum pressure
display of the fi ne scaled pressure gauge!) In this case, on reaching the desired
pressure, close the shutoff valve on the connection piece (12), open the "Pres-
sure" regulating valve (8), switch off the pump and remove the high-pressure
hose at the connection piece (12).
Attention: Before connecting the high-pressure hose (5), make sure that
the pressure has been relieved completely. Note the pressure on the
pressure gauge (9).

General power tool safety warnings
WARNING
WARNING
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided
with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fi 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 pres-
ence of fl 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.
Unmodifi 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.
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 oper-
ating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under
the infl 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 a 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 fi 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 and
clothing 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 let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause
severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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 remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed repair person using only
identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.

2.4 Flushing programs
2.4.1 Flushing EN 806-4
To fl ush drinking water installations with water, with water-air mixture with inter-
mittent compressed air and with water-air mixture with constant compressed
air, REMS Multi-Push must be connected to the water supply or the manifold
of the installation (Fig. 3) as follows:
To fl ush drinking water pipes after the house connection (water meter) (Fig. 3),
fi t the REMS fi ne fi lter (12) (Art. No. 115609) with fi lter cartridge 90 µm. Connect
the suction/pressure hose (13) to the fl ushing supply (14) after the fi ne fi lter.
Fit the second suction/pressure hose (13) to the fl ushing drain (Fig. 4 (15)) and
connect to the installation to be fl ushed.
2.4.2 Flushing
Proceed accordingly as in 2.4.1 and (Fig. 5) to fl ush/desilt heating systems.
However, it is necessary to fi t a system separator in accordance with EN
1717:2000 after the house connection (water meter) (Fig. 5) to prevent contam-
ination of drinking water by fl owback. Do not use suction/pressure hoses for
drinking water lines any more after they have been used for heating systems.

In Germany, hydrogen

are recommended for the disinfection of drinking water installa-
tions
11)
.
The safety data sheets for REMS Peroxi and REMS Color under www.rems.
de → Downloads → Safety Data Sheets as well as other local and national
regulations must be observed.
User friendliness, work protection and environmental protection etc. must be
considered in the choice of disinfection chemicals. It should be noted that, when
using oxidants containing chlorine (sodium hypochlorite NaOCl and chlorine
dioxide ClO
2
), for example, chlorine organic compounds may form which are
to be considered harmful to the environment.
REMS therefore recommends disinfecting drinking water installations with
REMS Peroxi (hydrogen peroxide H
2
O
2
). Hydrogen peroxide offers the better
alternative with regard to use friendliness, work protection and environmental
protection because it decomposes into hydrogen and water when used and
therefore forms no critical decomposition products and can be drained into
sewers without problems because of its rapid decomposition. Besides, the
concentration of REMS Peroxi with 1.5 % hydrogen peroxide is not classifi ed
as dangerous (not a hazardous substance).
REMS Peroxi consists of a watery solution hydrogen peroxide corresponding
to the application concentration of the dosing solution of 1.5% H

We
advise against buying disinfectants, e.g. hydrogen peroxideH

, with higher
concentrations which the user then has to dilute to the recommended concen-
tration of the dosing solution. Such actions are dangerous due to the higher
concentrations of the disinfectants so that hazardous substance and chemical
prohibition directives and possibly other national laws must be observed. In
addition, errors in the preparation of the self-mixed dosing solution can cause
harm to persons and damage to the drinking water installati
on.
Preparing for installation
Fi
t the REMS fi ne fi lter (Fig. 3 (12)) (Art. No. 115609) with fi lter cartridge 90 µm
after the house connection (water meter). Connect the suction/pressure hose
(Fig. 1 (13)) to the fl ushing supply (14) before or after the fi ne fi lter. Fit the
REMS V-Jet TW with supply (Fig. 7 (16)) disinfection unit for drinking water
installations to the fl ushing drain of REMS Multi-Push (Fig. 4 (15)). Observe
the direction of fl ow arrows. The main line of the disinfection unit consists of
the supply, pressure limiting valve (17), non-return valve (18), drain to the
installation (19). This is connected to the installation to be infected by the
suction/pressure hose (Fig. 4 (13)). Part of the supply is pressed by the fl ow
head (Fig. 7 (20)) into the bottle (21) which contains the dosing solution. This
is fed to the drinking water installation to be disinfected.
NOTICE
NOTICE
The REMS V-Jet TW disinfection unit must be removed from REMS Multi-Push
to fl ush drinking water pipes after disinfection. Suction/pressure hoses used
for disinfection should be fl ushed thoroughly before using for pressure testing
of drinking water pipes. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes in time and loses its
effect depending on the environment in which it is stored. Therefore the concen-
tration of the dosing solution should be checked for effectiveness before every
disinfection. To do this, fi ll a clean, sealable container with 100 ml of water and
draw 1 ml of dosing solution from the bottle using the pipette provided with
every carton of REMS Peroxi Color and add it to the container (ratio 1:100).
Seal the container and shake well. The concentration of the container contents
is measured with the test strip (Art. No. 091072) according to the instructions
printed on the test strip package. This should be ≥ 150 mg/l H

.
The built-in nozzles for automatic dosing by REMS V-Jet TW and REMS V-Jet
H are different and are adapted to the properties of the REMS ingredients to
be injected. Therefore please always observe the intended use.

The hydro-pneumatic water pump installed additionally in the REMS Multi-Push
SLW for this test is fed by the built-in compressor of the REMS Multi-Push. The
hydro-pneumatic water pump generates a water pressure of max. 1.8 MPa/18
bar/261 psi. Before conducting one of the tests with water according to method
A, B, C, it must be assessed whether the installation to be tested will withstand
the preset/selected test pressure “p ref
er”.

De
pending on the volume of the individual pipe sections, several pipe sections
can be disinfected with one bottle of REMS Peroxi Color dosing solution (see
Accessories 1.2 Article Numbers). However, it is recommended not to use an
opened bottle for longer than one day because the dosing solution loses in
concentration. Hydrogen peroxide decomposes in time and loses its effect
depending on the environment in which it is stored. Therefore the concentration
of the dosing solution should be checked for effectiveness before every disin-
fection. To do this, fi ll a clean, sealable container with 100 ml of water and draw
1 ml of dosing solution from the bottle using the pipette provided with every
carton of REMS Peroxi Color and add it to the container (ratio 1:100). Seal the
container and shake well. The concentration of the container contents is meas-
ured with the test strip (Art. No. 091072) according to the instructions printed
on the test strip package. This should be ≥ 150 mg/l H

.
CAUTION
CAUTION
The dye is not harmful to the health but very intensive and is very diffi cult to
remove from the skin or clothing. Therefore pour the dye into the bottle carefully.
Op
en the bottle (21), remove the locking ring from the bottle cap and pour the
delivered dye (20 ml bottle) into the bottle (21) immediately before the disin-
fection process. Close the bottle and shake it so that the dye mixes evenly with
the hydrogen peroxide.
Fit bottle to the disinfection unit REMS V-Jet TW as shown in Fig. 7 (21).
The
nozzles installed in REMS V-Jet TW and REMS V-Jet H for automatic dosing
of dosing solution, cleaner and corrosion protection are different sizes and
adapted to the properties of the REMS ingredients to be injected.
Therefore
make absolutely sure that REMS V-Jet TW is connected for disinfection of
drinking water pipes. Select program Ingredients \ disinfection DW. During the
fi lling process, all tapping points on the drinking water installation must be
opened one after another, starting with the furthest away, until the dyed disin-
fection solution emerges at the respective tapping point. If the tapping point
is in a dark environment it is helpful to hold a white background (e.g. a sheet
of paper) behind the outlet in order to be able to see the disinfection solution
better.
The supply to the disinfection unit before REMS Multi-Push and the drain to the
drinking water installation must be shut off at the end of the disinfection process.
Then the bottle (21) must be removed slowly so that excess pressure can escape.
After 24 hours exposure (recommendation of the German Central Association
for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK) and recommendation of
the German Association of the Gas and Water Industry (DVGW), the disinfec-
tion solution must be fl ushed out of the drinking water installation with REMS
Multi-Push. To do this, all tapping points must be opened again one after another,
starting with the nearest, until there is no longer any trace of the dyed disinfec-
tion solution.
Additionally, peroxide test strips can be used if necessary to check the concen-
tration (accessories, see 1.2 Article numbers).

3.3 Testing drinking water installations with compressed air program (REMS
Multi-Push SL/SLW)
WARNING
WARNING
The following applies for Germany: Observe the information leafl et “Leak
tests of drinking water installations with compressed air, inert gas or
water” (January 2011) of the German Central Association for Sanitary,
Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK)
16)
, “3.1 General” additionally to the
national regulations to avoid harm to persons, property and the environment.
Observe maximum test pressures of 0.3 MPa/3 bar/43.5 psi for load and leak
testing of gas pipes.
Th
e respective national safety provisions, rules and regulations valid for
the application site must be considered and observed.
Before conducting a test with compressed air, it must be assessed whether the
installation to be tested will withstand the preset/selected test pressure “p refer”.
The ambient temperature, the temperature of the test medium and the atmo-
spheric air pressure can infl uence the result of the test because they affect the
measured pressures. Changes in these parameters must be considered, if
necessary, in the evaluation of the test results.
Section 6 of EN 806-4:2010 defi nes among other things that: “Installations inside
buildings must be subjected to pressure testing. This can be done either with
water or, if national regulations allow, oil-free, clean air with low pressure or inert
gases may be used. The possible risk from high gas or air pressure in the system
must be considered.” However, apart from this note, the standard EN 806-4:2010
contains no test criteria whatsoever for testing with compressed air.
The tests described below and the defaults stored in the REMS Multi-Push
correspond to the information leafl et “Leak tests of drinking water installations
with compressed air, inert gas or water” (January 2011) of the German Central
Association for Sanitary, Heating and Air Conditioning (ZVSHK). Future changes
to this information leafl et or the respective valid provisions, rules and regulations
for the application site must be considered and changed test criteria (test
sequences, pressures and times) must be corrected in the defaults.
The programs can be aborted at any time with the Esc button (10). Then all
the valves open and the pressure in the installation is released. The tests are
saved but “Cancel” is shown in the fi le.
The pressure test must be repeated if necessary or the installation must be
checked and improved.
NOTICE
NOTICE
The controller ends the control process to set the selected test pressure for
tests with compressed air ≤ 200 mbar at a tolerance of ±3 mbar and for tests
≤ 3 bar (if necessary ≤ 4 bar) at a tolerance of ±0.1 bar. This means that the
control is ended, e.g. when setting p refer = 150 mbar at a value p actual
between 147 and 153 mbar or when setting p refer = 3 bar between 2.9 and
3.1 bar. This tolerance is safe because, in the pressure test with compressed
air, the
relative
pressure change of pressure p refer is decisive. If ENTER is
pressed, the value p actual is taken over as p refer. So the test can also be
begun at a p refer of 153 mbar for example.
