2. Preparations for Use

2.1. Electrical connection

Before connecting the unit, check whether voltage on the rating plate matches

the mains voltage.

2.2. Tools

Use only original quick-change die heads of REMS eva hand die stock. Up to

1¼” diameter the die heads t the octagonal seat from the front of the drive

unit (Fig. 2). They snap-in automatically.

The die heads protude the back of the housing. This facilitates taking the die

2 Compact drive units, take off retaining ring (11) with a suitable tool, e. g.

screwdriver. Remove stop ring (Fig. 4), insert 1½” or 2” die head and replace

ring (11). Do not work without retaining ring (11). Otherwise the die head

may be pushed out, e.g. during start-cutting.

Changing dies is necessary when the dies are used or worn or a thread is to be

cut on a short piece of pipe. In both cases clamp the die head in a vice, remove

cover, then carefully knock out dies from outside to in. Knock in new dies with

the start-cutting edge pointing towards the bottom in corresponding slots (die 1

in slot 1, die 2 in slot 2, die 3 in slot 3, die 4 in slot 4) to the extent that they do

not project beyond the housing. Install cover, lightly tighten screws. With a soft

pointing towards the top in following order: die 1 in slot 1, die 2 in slot 4, die 3

in slot 3, die 4 in slot 2.

2.3. Support bracket

The support bracket (2) serves to support the die stock against torque in both

directions, i. e. for advance and reverse rotation of the die head, for right and

left hand threads. Support bracket must always be used!

2.4. Thread-cutting oils

Use only REMS thread-cutting oils. You will have perfect threading results, long

durability of dies as well as high protection of the drive unit. REMS recommends

the use of the practical and economical spray can.

REMS Sanitol: Mineral oil-free, synthetic thread-cutting oil for drinking water

supplies. Completely water-soluable. Complies with regulations: in Germany

DVGW Approval No. DW-0201AS2032, in Austria ÖVGW Approval No. W 1.303,

in Switzerland SVGW Approval No. 7808-649. Viscosity at –10°C: 190 mPa s

(cP). Pumpable to –28°C. No water added. Easy to use. Dyed red for rinse-out

inspection.

Both types of thread-cutting oils are available in spray cans as well as in cans

and barrels.

Use thread-cutting oils only undiluted!

3. Operation

quick-change die head into the drive unit (Fig. 2). Put the unit on the pipe (rod)

so that the motor housing (6) is placed inside the bracket.

The bracket (2) of the REMS Mini-Amigo must be positioned between the motor

housing and the handle (5) (Fig. 7).

Adjust the rotation lever (7) to the requested rotation (R for right hand threads

or reverse rotation for left hand threads, L for left hand threads or reverse rota-

tion for right hand threads). Press tip switch (8) while holding the motor handle

(9). Press the gear handle (5) against the material. After 1 or 2 threads, the die

heads continues to cut automatically. Lubricate several times with REMS Spray

during thread-cutting. The standard length for tapered threads is reached when

For clamping short pieces of pipes and for the production of nipples and double

nipples use REMS Nippelspanner. They are available in sizes from ⅜ to 2” For

clamping pipe pieces (with or without thread) with the REMS Nippelspanner

the head of the Nippelspanner is expanded by turning the spindle with a tool

(e.g. screwdriver). This must only be done when a pipe is put on (Fig. 5).

When using the REMS Nippelspanner it must be observed that no shorter

nipples are threaded than specied in the standards.

4. Maintenance

Before maintenance work, pull the mains plug!

When cutting taper threads the rated current may increase for a short moment by about 50 %, without interference of the function ot the unit.

The drive units REMS Amigo and REMS Amigo 2 Compact are equipped with an overload protection which disconnects the motor when overloaded. In this case,

press green button (10) on the motor handle. See also section 5. Troubles.

Weighted effective value of

acceleration 3.5 m/s² 2.5 m/s² 2.5 m/s² 2.5 m/s² 2.5 m/s²

The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration has been measured against standard test procedures and can be used by way of comparison with another

device. The indicated weighted effective value of acceleration can also be used as a preliminary evaluation of the exposure.

Attention: 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.
