spring back differently. If a 180° bend / Curvo 50: 90° bend is produced and
reaches the end position, the slipping clutch comes into action again. Re-
lease the inching switch immediately. Turn/slide setting ring/slide (7) to »L«
(reverse). Allow the bending former to run back a few degrees until the pipe
is unclamped by light pressure on the inching switch (8). Pull out the insert
bolt (4) and remove the bent pipe. When bending on site, the bending for-
mer too can be taken off for easier removal of the bent pipe.
Only allow the bending former to return to its starting position after removal
of the pipe, as otherwise the produced bend might be damaged. While ben-
ding stainless steel pipes of pressfitting systems one must pay attention that
the mark at the pipe caused by the driver (10) does not lie in the sealing area
of the pressing joint.
3.2. Bending to size
If a bend is required at a certain point on the pipe, a lenght correction must
be made to suit the pipe size.
For a 90° bend, the correction dimension X given in Fig. 2 must be taken in-
to account. The set dimension L must be reduced by the amount X here. If
the dimension L should be 400 mm for the pipe size 22, the dimension line
must be made on the pipe at 320 mm. This line is then – as shown in Fig. 2
– to be aligned with the 0-mark on the bending former.
3.3. Unit support REMS Curvo, REMS Akku-Curvo
Vertically adjustable unit supports on tripod (Art.No. 586100) and for moun-
ting on the work bench (Art.No. 586150) available as accessories.
4. Maintenance
Pull out the mains plug and remove the battery before maintenance and
repair work! This work must be carried out solely by specialists or persons
familiar with the unit.
4.1. Maintenance
REMS Curvo, REMS Curvo 50 and REMS Akku-Curvo are maintenance-
free. The gearbox has a permanent grease filling and therefore requires no
lubrication.
4.2. Inspection/Servicing
The motor of the REMS Curvo and REMS Curvo 50 has carbon brushes.
These are subject to wear and must therefore be checked periodically and
replaced if necessary. To do so, unscrew the 4 screws on the motor handle
about 3 mm, pull the motor handle back and remove the two covers from the
motor housing. See also "6. Action in Case of Trouble".
5. Connection
In the REMS Akku-Curvo make absolutely sure that the plus pole on the
motor (plastic base of the connecting tab with lug) is connected to switch ter-
minal 1 with the red wire.
