General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions
can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodi­
fied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock
if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for
outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable or there is the
likelihood of cutting into the cord, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when opera-
ting a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non­skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the
tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust coll­
ection can reduce dustrelated hazards.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from
the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of star­
ting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power
tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles do
not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Threading Machine Safety Warnings
Work area safety
● Keep floor dry and free of slippery materials such as oil. Slippery floors invite
accidents.
● Restrict access or barricade the area when work piece extends beyond
machine to provide a minimum of one metre clearance from the work piece.
Restricting access or barricading the work area around the work piece will reduce
the risk of entanglement.
Electrical safety
● Keep all electric connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch plugs
or tool with wet hands. These precautions will reduce the risk of electrical shock.
Personal safety
● Do not wear gloves or loose clothing when operating machine. Keep sleeves
and jackets buttoned. Do not reach across the machine or pipe. Clothing
can be caught by the pipe or machine resulting in entanglement.
Machine safety
● Follow instructions on proper use of this machine. Do not use for other
purposes such as drilling holes or turning winches. Other uses or modifying
this power drive for other applications may increase the risk of serious injury.
● Secure machine to bench or stand. Support long heavy pipe with pipe
supports. This practice will prevent machine tipping.
● While operating the machine, stand on the side where the FORWARD/
REVERSE switch is located. Operating the machine from this side eliminates
the need to reach over the machine.
● Keep hands away from rotating pipe and fittings. Stop the machine before
wiping pipe threads or screwing on fittings. Allow the machine to come to
a complete stop before touching the pipe. This practice will reduce the chance
of entanglement in rotating parts.
● Do not use this machine to install or remove fittings, it is not the intended
use of the machine. This practice could lead to trapping, entanglement and loss
of control.
● Keep covers in place. Do not operate the machine with covers removed.
Exposing moving parts increases the probability of entanglement.

Special Safety Warnings

WARNING
● Never operate the machine without protective covers.
● Never reach into the die head.
● Never watch the thread cutting process through the opening in the end of the
protective cover. Chips can be flung out there. Only look through the safety
window in the protective cover.
● Only fix short lengths of pipe with REMS Nippelspanner or REMS Nippelfix.
● Concentrated thread cutting materials may not be allowed to get into the drain
system, water or ground.
● Thread cutting materials REMS Spezial and REMS Sanitol:
First aid measures:
► General notes:
Consult a doctor if symptoms occur or if in doubt. In case the victim loses
consciousness, do not administer anything via the mouth, place in the stable
side position and call a doctor. Take off soiled clothing immediately and dispose
of safely.
