1.9. Vibrations
Weighted effective value of acceleration
The specifi ed vibration emission value was measured according to a standard
test method and can be used for comparison with another power tool. The
specifi ed vibration emission value can also be used for an initial estimation of
the cut-out.
CAUTION
CAUTION
The vibration emission value may differ from the specifi ed value during actual
use of the power tool depending on the manner in which the power tool is used.
Dependent upon the actual conditions of use (periodic duty) it may be necessary
to establish safety precautions for the protection of the operator.
2. Preparations for Use

2.1. Electrical connection
WARNING
WARNING
Note the mains voltage! Before connecting the drive unit, the rapid charger
or the power supply unit, check whether the voltage given on the rating plate
corresponds to the mains voltage. On building sites, in a wet environment,
indoors and outdoors or under similar installation conditions, only operate the
power tool on the mains with a fault current protection switch (FI switch) which
interrupts the power supply as soon as the leakage current to earth exceeds
30 mA for 200 ms.
Rechargeable batteries
NOTICE
Always hold the battery 14.4 V (25) upright when inserting it in the drive unit
or the rapid charger. If inserted at an angle it can cause damage to the contacts
and result in a short circuit which damages the battery.
Total discharging by undervoltage
The Li-Ion batteries may not drop below a minimum voltage because otherwise
the battery could be damaged by "total discharge". The cells of the REMS Li-Ion
battery are delivered pre-charged to approx. 40 %. Therefore the Li-Ion batteries
must be charged before use and recharged regularly. Failure to observe this
regulation of the cell manufacturer can lead to damage to the Li-Ion battery by
total discharging.
Total discharging due to storage
If a relatively low charged Li-Ion battery is stored, self discharging can lead to
total discharge damage of the battery after longer storage. Li-Ion batteries must
therefore be charged before storing and recharged every six months at the
latest and charged again before use.
NOTICE
Charge the battery before use. Recharge Li-Ion batteries regularly to avoid
their total discharge. The rechargeable battery will be damaged by total
discharge.
Only use approved REMS rapid chargers for charging the REMS battery, see
Guidelines for use, fi g. 22. New Li-Ion batteries and Li-Ion batteries which have
not been used for a long time only reach full capacity after several charges.
Machine status check for all Li-Ion cordless presses
All REMS cordless presses are available as of 2011-01-01 with an electronic
machine status check with charging state display (23) by a 2-coloured green/
red LED. The LED lights green when the battery is fully or still suffi ciently
charged. The LED lights red when the battery must be charged. If this condition
occurs during pressing and the pressing process is not fi nished, the pressing
must be completed with a fully charged Li-Ion battery. If the drive unit is not
used, the LED goes out after approx. 2 hours but comes on again when the
drive unit is switched back on.
Graduated charging level indicator (28) of the Li-Ion 21.6 V battery
The graduated charging level indicator shows the charging level of the battery
with 4 LEDs. At least one LED lights for a few seconds after pressing the key
with the battery symbol. The more LEDs that light green, the higher the charging
level of the battery. If a LED fl ashes red, the battery must be recharged.

Rapid charger Li-Ion/Ni-Cd and rapid charger Li-Ion (Art. No. 571560,
< 2,5 m/s² K = 1,5 m/s²
571575, 571585, 571587)
The left control lamp lights up and remains green when the mains plug is
plugged in. If a battery is inserted in the rapid charger, the green control lamp
fl ashes to indicate that the battery is charging. The green light stops fl ashing
and remains on to signal that the battery is fully charged. If the red control lamp
fl ashes, the battery is defective. If the red control lamp comes on and remains
on, this indicates that the temperature of the rapid charger and / or the battery
is outside the permissible operating range of the rapid charger of 0°C to +40°C.
NOTICE
The rapid chargers are not suitable for outdoor use.
2.2. Assembly (changing) of the pressing tongs, Mini pressing tongs (Fig. 1
(1)), the pressing tongs (4G) (Fig. 17), the pressing tongs (S) (Fig. 18), the
pressing ring (PR-3S) with adapter tongs (Fig. 19), the pressing ring
(PR-3B) with adapter tongs (Fig. 20), the pressing ring 45° (PR-2B) with
adapter tongs, Mini adapter tongs (Fig. 21) in radial presses.
Pull out the mains plug or remove the battery. Only use pressing tongs, pressing
tongs Mini or pressing rings with system-specifi c pressing contour according
to the pressfi tting system to be pressed. Pressing tongs, pressing tongs Mini
or pressing rings have letters on the pressing jaws or pressing segments to
identify the pressing contour and a number to identify the size. The adapter
tongs are marked by the letter Z and a number which serves for assignment
to the permissible pressing ring which carries the same identifi cation. The
pressing ring 45° (PR-2B) may only be applied at at angle of 45° to the adapter
tongs Z1/adapter tongs Mini Z1 (Fig. 21). Read and observe the installation
and assembly instructions of the manufacturer/supplier of the press fi tting
system to be pressed. Never use non-matching pressing tongs, pressing tongs
Mini, pressing ring, adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini (pressing contour,
size). The press joint could be rendered useless and the machine and pressing
tongs, pressing tongs Mini, pressing ring, adapter tongs and adapter tongs Mini
could be damaged.
