2.3. Electrical supply
WARNING
Before connecting the machine, check that the mains voltage corresponds with
the voltage specified on the rating plate. Use extension cord with earth wiring
only. The machine is switched on and off by means of the foot switch (21,
Tornado / 4, Magnum). Switch (18, Tornado / 3, Magnum) is used to preselect
the direction of rotation and speed. The machine can only be switched on when
the emergency-off button (22, Tornado / 5, Magnum) is released and the protec-
tion switch (23, Tornado / 6, Magnum) on the pedal switch is depressed. If the
machine is connected directly to the mains (without a plug), a 16 A main switch
must be installed.
2.4. Cooling lubricant
Perfect threading results, long durability of dies as well as utmost protection of
the machine are achieved with REMS cooling lubricant.
NOTICE
REMS Spezial cooling lubricant (containing mineral oil) is highly al loyed and
suitable for cutting pipe and bolt threads of all types. In addition, it can be washed
off with water (officially approved). Mineral oil-based cooling lubricants are not
permitted to be used on drinking water pipes in certain countries, e.g. Germany,
Austria. In this case, use REMS Sanitol, which contains no mineral oil.
REMS Sanitol cooling lubricant is free of mineral oil, is synthetic, completely
water soluble and possesses the lubricating properties of mineral oil. Its use is
compulsory in Germany and Austria for drinking water installations and complies
with the officially applicable regulations (DVGW Approval No. DW-0201AS2032;
OEVGW Approval No. W 1.303; SVGW Approval No. 7808-649).
NOTICE
Use all types of cooling lubricant undiluted!
2.5. Material support
CAUTION
Pipes and bars longer than 2 m must be additionally supported by the height-
adjustable REMS Herkules, fitted with steel balls, posing no problems for moving
rods and pipes in all directions without tipping over the material support. If the
REMS Magnum is mounted on a workbench, the REMS Herkules Y must be
used. Capacity of REMS Herkules and REMS Herkules Y: Ø ⅛ – 4".
2.6. REMS 4"automatic die head
When using the REMS 4"automatic die head, observe the operating instructions
supplied with the die head.
3. Operation
3.1. Tools
The die head (8, Tornado / 12, Magnum) is a universal die head. That means
for all types of threads for above mentioned sizes, divided in 2 tool sets, only
one die head is required. For cutting tapered pipe threads, the length stop (9,
Tornado / 13, Magnum) needs to be in the same direction with the closing and
opening lever (10, Tornado / 14, Magnum). To cut cylindrical long threads and
bolt threads, the length stop (9, Tornado / 13, Magnum) has to be folded away.
Changing dies
The dies can be inserted or changed with the die head mounted on the machine
or detached (i.e. on a bench). Slacken clamping lever (11, Tornado / 15, Magnum)
but do not remove it. Push the adjusting disc (12, Tornado / 16, Magnum) at
the handle away from the clamping lever to the far end position. In this position
the dies are put in or taken out. Ensure that the indicated size of thread shown
on the back of the dies corresponds to the size of thread to be cut. Furthermore,
ensure that the numbers shown on the back of the dies correspond with those
indicated on the die holder (14, Tornado / 17, Magnum).
Insert the dies into the die head as far as the ball inside the slot of the die holder
snaps in. Once all dies are set, adjust the size of thread by shifting the adjusting
disc. Bolt thread must always be set to „Bolt". Clamp the adjusting disc with
the clamping lever, close the die head by pressing the closing and opening
lever (10, Tornado / 14, Magnum) down slightly to the right. The die head opens
either automatically (with tapered pipe threads), or at any time manually by
slight pressure to the left on the closing and opening lever.
If the holding power of the clamping lever (11, Tornado / 15, Magnum) is insuf-
ficient (e.g. through blunt dies) when the 2½ – 3" and the 2½ – 4" die head is in
use, due to the increased cutting force applied, with the result that the die head
opens under cutting pressure, the capscrew on the side opposite the clamping
lever (11, Tornado / 15, Magnum) must also be tightened.
The pipe cutter (15, Tornado / 18, Magnum) cuts pipes ¼ – 2", resp. 2½ – 4".
The reamer (16, Tornado / 19, Magnum) deburs pipes ¼ – 2" resp. 2½ – 4". To
avoid rotation, latch the reamer sleeve into the reamer arm either in the front
or in the back end, depending on the position of the pipe.
3.2. Chuck
A size adjusted clamping sleeve (Art.-No. 343001) is required for sizes < 8 mm
when operating with Magnum up to 2" and Tornado, for Magnum up to 4" <
20 mm. When ordering the clamping sleeve the required clamping size needs
to be provided.
3.2.1. Chuck Tornado (19) and (20)
The self-clamping jaws open and close automatically through left or right turning
of the switch (18) and operating the foot switch (21). Pay attention when changing
rear and front clamping jaws that the particular clamping jaws are fitted in
corresponding to fig. 4 and 5, as otherwise damage will arise. On no account
switch on the machine until all clamping jaws and both clamping jaw covers
have been fitted.
3.2.2. Chuck Magnum (1) (2)
Quick action hammer chuck (1), guide chuck (2)
The front quick action hammer chuck (1) with the large clamping ring and the
movable chuck jaws installed in the chuck jaw carriers ensures secure, concen-
tric clamping with the minimum of force. As soon as the material juts out of the
guide chuck (2), it should be closed.
