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 REMS Amigo and REMS Amigo 2 Compact drive units are equipped with an overload protection which switches off the motor in case of overloading. In this case,
wait a few seconds and press the overload protection button (10). See also section 5. Troubles.

Weighted effective value of acceleration
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.
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
WARNING
Caution: Mains voltage present! Before connecting the electric die stock,
check whether the voltage given on the rating plate corresponds to the mains
voltage. On building sites, in a wet environment, indoors and outdoors or under
similar installation conditions, only operate the electric die stock on the mains
with a fault current protected switch (FI breaker) which interrupts the power
supply as soon as the leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 200 ms.
2.2. Inserting the REMS quick-change die heads or plug-on heads for button
dies
Only use the original quick-change die heads or plug-on heads for button dies.
Up to thread size 1¼" the die heads are inserted into the octagonal seat of the
drive unit from the front (Fig. 2). They snap in automatically.
The die heads protude the back of the housing. This facilitates taking the die
head out of the drive unit by jolting the protuding edge against a plain surface
or edge (fig. 3).
Inserting the REMS quick-change die head size 1" in REMS Amigo E
(Fig. 6)
The groove in the octagon of the 1" quick-change die head must be in line with
the locking pin (14) in the octagonal seat of the REMS Amigo E.
Inserting the REMS quick-change die heads sizes 1½" and 2" in the REMS
Amigo 2 and REMS Amigo 2 Compact drive units (Fig. 4)
Remove the retaining ring (11) with a suitable tool, e.g. screwdriver. Remove
the stop ring (12) and insert the 1½" or 2" (13) REMS quick-change die head
in its place and remount the retaining ring (11) on the 1½" or 2" quick-change
die head.
WARNING
Do not work without a retaining ring (11)! There is otherwise a danger of
the die head being pushed out of the die head seat during start-cutting.
2.3. Changing dies in the REMS quick-change die head (Fig. 8)
1. Clamp the quick-change die head in the vice with the octagonal seat.
2. Remove countersunk screws (15) and cover (16).
3. Knock out the dies (17) carefully to the centre of the die head body.
4. Knock the die heads (17) with the start-cutting edge (A) towards the bottom
in corresponding slots to the extent that they do not protrude beyond the die
housing. The dies are numbered. Die 1 in slot 1, die 2 in slot 2, die 3 in slot 3
and die 4 in slot 4.
5. Fit the cover (16) and tighten the countersunk screws (15) lightly.
6. Carefully knock the dies (17) outwards with a soft pin (copper, brass or hard
wood) until they are in contact with the edge of the cover.
7. Tighten the countersunk screws (15).
If a thread is to be cut on a short length of laid pipe, the quick-change die heads
S of the REMS eva must be used with an additional pipe guidance (19) on the
cover side.
If a thread is to be cut on a short length of laid pipe, the REMS quick-change
die heads S must be used with an additional guide sleeve (19) on the cover
side.
WARNING
Do not use the REMS quick-change die heads S together with extension
(Art.-No. 522051) with an electric die stock for cutting threads. The support
bracket (2) does not fit. There is a danger of the electric die stock being torn
from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.

Changing dies in the REMS quick-change die head S (Fig. 8)
1. Clamp the quick-change die head in the vice with the octagonal seat.
2. Remove countersunk screws (15) and cover for quick-change die head S (20)
with guide sleeve (19).
3. Knock out the dies (17) carefully to the centre of the die head body.
4. Knock the die heads (17) with the start-cutting edge (A) towards the top in
corresponding slots to the extent that they do not protrude beyond the die

2.4. 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.
WARNING
Always use a support bracket. Otherwise there is a danger of the electric die
stock being torn from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
Only use the support bracket (2) that fits the electric die stock. The elec­
tric die stock could be damaged. There is also a danger of the electric die stock
being torn from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
2.5. Dual purpose holder (Fig. 7)
For cutting threads with REMS Amigo E, REMS Amigo, REMS Amigo 2 and
sawing with electric pipe reciprocating saws REMS Tiger ANC, REMS Tiger
ANC VE and REMS Tiger ANC SR.
The dual purpose holder (Fig. 7) is screwed to a workbench and serves to
support the torque which occurs when cutting threads in both directions, i.e. in
forward and reverse direction of the REMS quick-change die head for right and
left hand threads. The retaining pin (B) is provided to hold the listed REMS
Tiger ANC, REMS Tiger ANC VE and REMS Tiger ANC SR. Pipes/rods can be
cut at right angles.
2.6. Thread-cutting oils
Safety data sheets see www.rems.de → Downloads → Safety data sheets.
Only use thread-cutting oils from REMS. They ensure perfect cutting results,
long life of the dies and considerably relieve stress on the machine. REMS
recommends the practical and economical aerosol can or spray bottle.
REMS Spezial: High-alloyed, mineral based hread-cutting oil. For all materials:
steel, stainless steel, non-ferrous metals, plastics. Pleasant to work with. Washes
out with water, approved by experts.
NOTICE
Mineral based thread-cutting oils are not permitted for drinking water installa-
tions in some countries, e.g. Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In this case,
use the mineral oil-free REMS Sanitol. Observe the national regulations.
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.
