General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING
Read all the safety notes, instructions, illustrations and technical data which
come with this power tool. Failure to heed the following instructions can lead to
electric shock, fire and/or severe injuries.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains­operated (corded) power
tool.
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 pres-
ence 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. Distrac­
tions 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. Unmod­
ified 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 misuse the connecting cable to carry or hang up the power tool or
to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the connecting cable away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or knotted cables
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, 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 operating
a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influ-
ence 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 protec­
tion 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, 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,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
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 before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety meas­
ures reduce the risk of starting 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 and gripping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent safe handling and control of the
power tool in unforeseeable 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.
Safety notes for electrical die stocks for cutting pipe
threads with quick-change die heads
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.
● Do not use the power tool if it is damaged. There is a danger of accident.
● Only use original REMS quick-change die heads and plug-on heads for
button dies. Other die heads do not guarantee a secure fit or damage the
octagonal seat of the drive unit.
● Do not use the REMS quick-change die heads S together with extension
(Art.-No. 522051) with an electric die stock for cutting threads. The support
bracket (2) does not fit. There is a danger of the electric die stock being torn from
the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
● Always use a support bracket. Otherwise there is a danger of the electric die
stock being torn from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
● Only use the support bracket (2) that fits the electric die stock. The electric
die stock could be damaged. There is also a danger of the electric die stock being
torn from the hand and spinning round as the torque increases.
● Do not reach into the area of the motor (6), support bracket (2) during
operation. Only hold the electric die stock by the motor handle (9). There
is a risk of injury.
● Do not work without a retaining ring (11). Otherwise the die head may be
pushed out, e.g. during start­cutting.
● REMS thread cutting oils in spray cans (REMS Spezial, REMS Sanitol)
contains environmentally friendly but highly inflammable propellant gas
(butane). Aerosol cans are pressurised; do not open by force. Protect these
from sunlight and heating above 50°C. Aerosol cans can explode and cause
fires, danger of injury.
● Avoid intensive skin contact with thread-cutting materials. These have a
degreasing effect. A skin protector with a regreasing effect must be applied.
● Children and persons who, due to their physical, sensory or mental abilities
or lack of experience and knowledge are unable to operate the power tool
safely may not use this power tool without supervision or instruction by a
responsible person. Otherwise there is a risk of operating errors and injuries.
● Only allow trained persons to use the power tool. Apprentices may only use
the power tool when they are over 16, when this is necessary for their training
and when they are supervised by a trained operative.
● Check the power cable of the power tool and extension leads regularly for
damage. Have these renewed by qualified experts or an authorised REMS
customer service workshop in case of damage.
● Only use approved and appropriately marked extension leads with a sufficient
cable cross-section. Use extension leads up to a length of 10 m with cable
cross­section 1.5 mm², from 10 – 30 m with cable cross­section 2.5 mm².
NOTICE
● Make sure that REMS thread-cutting materials are not disposed of undiluted
in the drain system, ground water or ground. Unused thread­cutting material
should be handed in to responsible disposal companies. Waste code for thread­
cutting materials containing mineral oil (REMS Spezial) 54401, for synthetic
materials (REMS Sanitol) 54109. Observe the national regulations.
