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.
2. Preperations for Use
Important!
For safety reasons, use only the genuine REMS drive unit for REMS Twist or
REMS Hurrican. The use of other units could lead to operator injury and tool
damage. And it voids the warranty!
If the expander insert has been removed from the expander tool, it must be
inserted by rotating it manually until the first threads have caught. Only then
can the drive unit be used for further rotation. Otherwise, the thread could get
damaged!
2.1. Electrical connection
Before connecting the power supply, check to ensure that the mains voltage
corresponds to the voltage given on the machine rating plate.
2.2. Working with the expander tool
Select the expander tool that corresponds to the pipe size (Fig.1(1)). Insert the
expander tool on the drive unit and tighten with wing screw (2). This design
permits the electric expander to be hand-held and used any where.
The expander tool can also be bolted to a workbench (Fig. 2). Use nuts and
bolts or wood screws for this purpose. Care must be taken to ensure that the
drive unit is freely accessible and can be operated properly.
The expander tool can also be clamped in a vise. In this case, care must be
taken to ensure that the clamping height of 15 mm is not exceeded (Fig.3).
3. Operation
3.1. Working with the expander tool
Insert the pipe as far as the mark (Fig. 1 (3)) and tighten firmly with the clam-
ping spindle (4). Set drive unit for clockwise (right-hand) rotation (5). Press
push switch (6) all the way. The mandrel pin will now rotate into the end of the
pipe and expand it. At the end of the expansion procedure, the expander insert
contacts the housing. The drive unit's slip clutch responds. Release the push
switch immediately, set the reversing lever to anticlockwise (left-hand) rotation
(7), and slowly remove the mandrel pin from the finished expansion. Then
remove the pipe.
Never operate the reversing lever while the drive unit is in operation!
3.2. Working with the extractor tool
Be sure to attach holder (Fig. 7 (10)) to the drive unit (Danger of accident
through counter-torque!). Insert drill head into the drive unit's hexagon mount
and set pipe diameter. Apply drill head to centre of pipe and drill until the drill
head's stop ring contacts the pipe (Fig. 7). Remove drill head. Insert tool holder
into hexagon mount (Fig. 8). Retract vee until rear end is flush with front edge
of hexagon mount. Spread arms of extractor tool and insert in hole. Close
extractor tool and insert in tool holder (Fig. 10). Set drive unit to anticlockwise
(left-hand) rotation, holdvee firmly and let it slowly advance until it almost
contacts the pipe. Hold drive unit firmly with both hands and press switch all
the way to complete the extraction procedure. Set drive unit to clockwise (right-
hand) rotation and allow vee to reverse out. Remove tool from tool holder (rotate
clockwise). Use flaring pliers to produce two flares more or less opposite one
another (Fig. 11) for positioning the pipe.
3.3. Lubricant
From time to time, the mandrel pins and extractor tools should be lubricated
lightly with the supplied lubricant.
4. Maintenance
Remove plug from mains prior to service or repair! This work may only be
performed by skilled specialists or specially trained personnel.
4.1. Maintenance
The product requires no maintenance whatsoever. The gearing is lubricated
for life.
4.2. Inspection/Servicing
The drive unit motor is equipped with safety carbon brushes. If these brushes
are worn, the motor will not start again after being switched off and on. The carbon
brushes shall only be replaced by REMS or an authorized REMS service centre.
5. Action in Case of Trouble
5.1. Trouble: Drive unit will not rotate under load.
Cause:
● Mains undervoltage.
● Worn brushes.
● Tools insufficiently lubricated.
● Pipe wall too thick.
● Pipe material too hard.
5.2. Trouble: Expansion/extraction undersize.
Cause:
● Mandrel pin/extractor tool worn.
6. Manufacturer's Warranty
The warranty period shall be 12 months from delivery of the new product to the
first user but shall be a maximum of 24 months after delivery to the Dealer. The
date of delivery shall be documented by the submission of the original purchase
