universal saw blade for all sawing work instead of many different saw blades.
Tenacious material, highly flexible, also for wall-flush sawing. Double-sided
hinge with extra wide clamping surface for exact seat and high stability. Alter-
nating tooth pitch (combi-teeth), very highly hardened in the teeth area. Excel-
lent sawing performance and very long service life as a result. Also for materials
that are difficult to cut, e.g. stainless steel pipes, hard cast iron pipes etc. and
for sawing wood with nails, pallets. Normal saw blades with one-sided hinge
are useless for the high thrust pressure when sawing with a guide holder; they
break at the clamping point.
REMS saw blades for all REMS reciprocating saws
For special sawing work with metals, wood, building materials and plastics
numerous REMS saw blades or different shape, length and tooth pitch with
conventional (one-sided) hinge are available: See saw blade table Fig. 8.
2.5. Fitting the saw blade
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before fitting/removing the
saw blade!
All REMS Tiger, REMS Cat models (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3)
Do not place the saw on the anti-kink sleeve of the connecting lead to fit the
saw blade, otherwise it will be damaged! Loosen the clamping screw (9) of the
saw blade pressure piece (4) until the saw blade can be inserted over the
centring pin. The REMS special saw blade and the REMS universal saw blade
are between the two arms of the U-shaped saw blade pressure piece (Fig. 2).
REMS saw blades must lie within the recess in the base of the saw blade
pressure piece (Fig. 3). Screw the saw blade pressure piece tight with the
clamping screw (9) otherwise the centring pin will be damaged or sheared off.
The centring pin does not have the task of holding the saw blade. This is done
exclusively by clamping with the clamping screw (9). If the clamping screw (9)
can no longer be tightened because its socket head or the Allen key is worn,
the centring pin shears off. Therefore renew a worn clamping screw (9) and
Allen key in good time.
REMS Puma VE (Fig. 5.)
Do not place the saw on the anti-kink sleeve of the connecting lead to fit the
saw blade, otherwise it will be damaged! Swing up the saw blade clamping
lever (14) by hand and hold it. Insert the saw blade (5) either with the teeth
facing down or turned 180° facing up. Release the saw blade clamping lever
(14), this is spring-loaded and clamps the saw blade automatically. Check the
saw blade (5) for tight fit. The saw blade turned upwards allows sawing cuts
near to a surface (Fig. 7.)
2.6. Setting the length-adjustable support shoe, only REMS Puma VE (Fig. 6.)
WARNING
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery before adjusting the length-
adjustable support shoe!
Take the Allen key out of the holder (15) and undo the two clamping screws
(16). The support shoe can be adjusted steplessely by 40 mm in longitudinal
direction. Set the desired position, tighten the clamping screws (16), insert the
Allen key in the holder (15). This adjustment possibility allows better utilisation
of partially blunt saw blades and prevents the tip of the saw blade from hitting
a wall/inside of a pipe (take saw blade stroke into consideration).
2.7. Inserting the battery, only REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE
NOTICE
Charge the battery before inserting it into the REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE! Always
insert the battery (13) vertically into the REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE or rapid
charger until it snaps in audibly. If inserted at an angle it can cause damage to
the contacts and result in a short circuit which damages the battery.
3. Operation
Use eye protection
Use ear protection
WARNING
Suitable dust extractors, a respirator and disposable overalls must be used for
work which could produce health hazardous dusts. Observe the national regu-
lations.
REMS Tiger ANC: Switch on/off with on/off safety switch (7).
REMS "VE" reciprocating saws: Stepless electronic stroke speed control by
variable pressure on the stepless safety switch (accelerator switch) (10).
REMS Tiger ANC SR: Stepless electronic stroke speed control. Preselection
of the desired number of strokes at the thumbwheel (12). Switch on/off with on/
off safety switch (7).
REMS Tiger ANC pneumatic: To overcome the switch-on lock, first pull the
lever (11) to the side and then press it down. The number of strokes is selected
by pressing the lever (11) appropriately.

5. Wiring
(2), when performing work where the tool can come into contact with concealed
electric cables or its own power cable. Contact with a live cable can also put
metal tools or the guide holder under voltage and lead to electric shock.
NOTICE
Only use REMS special saw blades or REMS universal saw blades (see 2.4.).
Normal saw blades with one-sided hinge are useless for right-angled sawing
with a guide holder because they break at the clamping point due to high thrust
pressure.
Fit the guide holder as described in 2.2. Place the saw with guide holder on
the pipe so that the clamping spindle (1) is vertical. Tighten the clamping spindle.
Press the switch (7 or 10) at the same time as grasping the motor handle or
actuate the lever (11) and pull up the saw until the pipe or profile is sawn through.
The start of sawing can be improved especially with large diameters (e.g. 4")
by not switching on the machine until the saw blade is already in contact with
the pipe. Make sure that the prism of the guide holder is always kept free from
chips, otherwise the right-angled cut will be impaired. To achieve optimum
sawing speed and to preserve the saw blade, only select medium thrust pres-
sure. Heavy thrust pressure does not increase the sawing speed! REMS Tiger
ANC is equipped with an overload protection (8). This is triggered when the
thrust pressure is too great; the button jumps out slightly and the saw stops.
After a few seconds the overload protection can be pushed back in and the
saw can be switched back on.
DANGER
Only hold the power tool by the insulated handles ("A") when performing work
where the tool can come into contact with concealed electric cables or its own
power cable. Contact with a live cable can also put metal tools under voltage
and lead to electric shock.
For straight or curved cuts press the support shoe (6) forcefully against the
material so that the support shoe (6) is constantly in contact with the material
to be sawn. Switch on the machine. Only use sharp and flawless saw blades.
Even thrust pressure reduces the risk of accident and is kind on the machine
and saw blade. Always feed the connecting lead back away from the machine.
Keep the machine pressed forcefully against the material to be sawn during
sawing. If the saw blade jams whilst sawing, switch off the reciprocating saw,
widen the sawn cleft with a suitable tool and pull out the saw blade.
For plunge-cut sawing in material that is not too hard, e.g. wood, plastic, plastic
pipes or alloy pipes, the saw blade can be plunged carefully into a surface
whilst sawing (Fig. 4). Use a short saw blade. Place the switched off saw with
the bottom edge of the support shoe and the tip of the saw blade at the cutting
point, switch on the saw and plunge the saw slowing sawing into the material.
Preferably use REMS saw blades with stepless stroke speed control. In harder
material, e.g. metal, an appropriately large hole for the saw blade should be
drilled for the sawing start.
Do not use lubricants for normal sawing work. These hinder the ejection of
chips from the sawing chase and therefore reduce the useful life of the saw
blade.
REMS Spezial or REMS Sanitol for cooling and lubrication should be used
exclusively for sawing stainless steel and hard cast iron pipes. It is recommended
to use REMS Tiger ANC SR and one of the REMS universal saw blades 561003
... 561006. The guide holder is absolutely essential for right-angled sawing
(see 2.2.).
REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE is equipped with low discharge protection for the
rechargeable battery. This switches off the drive machine as soon as the battery
needs to be recharged. In this case remove the battery and charge with the
REMS rapid charger.
WARNING
Before any repair work, pull the mains plug or remove the battery!
The REMS reciprocating saws are maintenance free. The gear runs in a sealed
grease housing and therefore does not need any lubrication.
WARNING
Before any repair work, pull the mains plug or remove the battery! This
work may only be performed by qualified personnel.
The REMS reciprocating saws with universal motor have carbon brushes.
These are subject to wear and must therefore be inspected or replaced from
time to time by an authorised REMS after-sales service facility. See also section
6. Action in case of trouble.
On REMS Akku-Cat ANC VE, make sure that the positive pole of the motor
(connector piece on plastic base with nose) is connected with the red wire to
the switch clip 1. The rotation lever at the switch has to be set to the rear
(towards the mounting surface of the cooling block).
