3. Operation
3.1. Working procedure
1. Cut pipe/rod at a right angle and burr-free.
2. Fix the support bracket (2) about 10 cm from the end of the pipe or rod by
putting the support bracket from underneath against the pipe (rod) (Fig. 5) so
that it is centred between the prism clamping jaw (3) and the feed screw (4).
Tighten the clamping spindle tightly with the lever.
3. Spray thread cutting oil (REMS aerosol can or spray bottle) onto the threading
section (see 2.6.).
4. Place the drive unit on the pipe (rod) with the REMS quick-change die head
inserted so that the motor (6) (see Fig. 1) in REMS Amigo E, REMS Amigo,
REMS Amigo 2 and REMS Amigo 2 Compact comes to rest between the forks
of the support bracket.
5. 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 thread or reverse rota-
tion for right hand threads).
6. Press safety tip switch (8) while holding the motor handle (9), press the die
stock on the handle (5) against the material. After 1 or 2 threads the die heads
continue to cut automatically.
7. Lubricate several times with thread-cutting oil (REMS aerosol can or spray
bottle) during thread-cutting.
8. The standard length for tapered threads is reached when the front edge of the
pipe is flush with the upper edge of the dies (not top of the cover).
9. When the desired thread length is reached, release the safety tip switch (8).
10. When the unit stops rotating turn the rotation lever (7) into reverse. The quick-
change die head (1) is run off the thread by pressing the safety tip switch (8)
again.
NOTICE
Only change the direction on the rotation lever (7) when the unit stops rotating!
3.2. Production of nipples and double nipples
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 (21) 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 specified in the standards.
5. Faults
5.1. Fault: Electric die stock does not pull through, overload protection (10) triggers off.
Cause:
● Not original REMS quick-change die heads.
● REMS dies are blunt.
● Unsuitable thread-cutting material.
● Worn carbon brushes.
● Mains lead defective.
● Electric die stock defective.
5.2. Fault: No workable thread, threads are ripping off.
Cause:
● REMS dies are blunt.
● REMS dies inserted incorrectly.
● Unsuitable or insufficient thread-cutting material.
● Pipe material is unsuitable for thread cutting.
5.3. Fault: Thread is cut skew to the pipe axis.
Cause:
● Pipe not cut at a right angle.
5.4. Fault: Pipe slips in support bracket (2).
Cause:
● Pipe not clamped tightly enough in support bracket.
● Prismatic clamping jaw (3) heavily soiled.
● Teeth of the prismatic clamping jaw (3) worn.
5.5. Fault: Die stock hits the support bracket (2).
Cause:
● Support bracket fixed too close to the end of the pipe or rod.
● Long thread cut without re-tightening.
4. Maintenance
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out maintenance or repair work!
This work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
4.1. Maintenance
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before maintenance work!
Clean the drive unit and the holder of the REMS quick-change die heads from
time to time. Clean heavily soiled die heads with turpentine oil for example and
remove stuck chips. Replace blunt REMS dies and REMS quick-change die
heads. Clean plastic parts (e.g. housing) only with REMS CleanM machine
cleaner (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 onto or inside the drive unit. Never immerse
the drive unit in liquid.
4.2. Inspection/repair
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug before carrying out maintenance or repair work!
This work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
The gear runs in a life-long grease filling and therefore needs no lubrication.
The drive machine motor has carbon brushes. These are subject to wear and
must therefore by checked and changed by qualified specialists or an author-
ised REMS customer service workshop from time to time.
Remedy:
● Only use REMS quick-change die heads.
● Change REMS dies, see 2.3.
● Use REMS Spezial or REMS Sanitol thread-cutting oils.
● Have the carbon brushes changed by qualified personnel or an authorised
REMS customer service workshop.
● Have the mains lead replaced by qualified personnel or an authorised REMS
customer service workshop.
● Have the electric die stock checked/repaired by an authorised REMS customer
service workshop.
Remedy:
● Change REMS dies, see 2.3.
● Observe numbering of the REMS dies to the slot number of the die head body
(18), see 2.3, change die heads if necessary.
● Use sufficient, undiluted quantity of REMS Spezial or REMS Sanitol thread-
cutting oil, see 3.1.
● Only use approved pipes.
Remedy:
● Cut pipe at right angle, e.g. with dual purpose holder (Art.-No. 543100,
accessory) Fig. 7 and REMS Tiger ANC, REMS Tiger ANC VE, REMS Tiger
ANC SR or with REMS RAS St, REMS Turbo K, REMS Cento.
Remedy:
● Make the clamping spindle (4) tighter.
● Clean the prismatic clamping jaw with a wire brush for example.
● Change the support bracket (2).
Remedy:
● Fix the support bracket about 10 cm from the end of the pipe or rod, see 3.1.
● Switch the electric die stock off when it approaches the support bracket.
