NOTICE
When using the REMS Curvo 50, the support (11) and (13) respec tively
should be attached above the bending and back formers, for all sizes.
Up to and including sizes 24 R75 (¾" R75), the support (15) should also
be attached below. This is mounted on one side on the adaptor block
collar (14), and on the other side with the locating pin (16) in the outermost
bore hole of the support (15) marked out in the housing (see 3.1.).
The drive unit gets damaged when bending without this support!
Ensure here that the insert bolt (4) for the sizes up to 22 mm (¾") goes into the
left-hand locating hole (5) and for larger sizes into the right-hand hole (6).
Operate the inching switch (8) to bend the pipe. Towards the end of the required
bend, only press the switch lightly, so that the final point is approached slowly
and thereby precisely. A scale is provided on each bending former, together
with the mark on the back former, ensures precise manufacture of arcs of up
to 180° / Curvo 50 up to 90°. Be aware that various materials 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. Release the inching
switch immediately. Turn/slide setting ring/slide (7) to »L« (reverse). Allow the
bending former to run back a few deg rees 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 former 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 bending
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 into 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 mounting
on the work bench (Art. No. 586150) available as accessories.
3.4. Bending lubricant
REMS bending spray (Art. No. 140120) ensures a continuous film of lubricant
for reduced force and even bending. High pressure-resistant, acid-free Without
HFC and therefore not harmful to the ozone layer.
4. Maintenance
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug and remove the battery before maintenance and
repair work! This work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
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 lubrica-
tion.
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. 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 terminal 1
with the red wire.
6. Trouble
6.1. Trouble: Bending former stops during bending although the motor is
running.
Cause:
● Pipe being bent has walls too thick.
● Slipping clutch worn.
● Carbon brushes worn.
● Battery empty (REMS Akku-Curvo).
6.2. Trouble: Pipe bend is out of round.
Cause:
● Wrong bending former or wrong back former.
● Worn back former.
● Damaged pipe.
6.3. Trouble: Pipe slips out of driver (10) during bending.
Cause:
● Driver bent or worn.
● Piece not projecting far enough beyond driver.

6.4. Trouble: Unit does not start.
Cause:
● Connecting lead defective.
● Unit defective.
● Battery empty (REMS Akku-Curvo).
