2.3. Setting the torque
The torque required for the work is set with the torque setting ring (2). The numbers 1 to 15 and the symbol
are shown on the torque setting ring. The lowest torque is set at stage 1 and the highest torque at
stage 15. A low torque is preferably used for turning in small screws. A higher torque, if necessary up to symbol
, should be set for drilling, removing burr and for loosening screws.
2.4. Reversing the direction of rotation
The rotation direction can be reversed with the rotation direction switch (4). In the middle rest position the
safety switch (5) cannot be pressed and therefore the power tool cannot be switched on. Select this setting
for all work on the power tool, e.g. tool change, maintenance and for transport and storage. Press the rotation
direction switch (4) with the arrow head in the direction of the quick-clamping chuck (1) up to the stop for
right-hand rotation. Press the rotation direction switch with the arrow head in the direction of the speed range
preselection lever (3) up to the stop for left-hand rotation. The rotation direction switch (4) can only be actu-
ated when the safety switch (5) is not pressed.
2.5. Clamping the tool
Remove the battery or move the rotation direction switch (4) to the middle rest position. The drilling spindle
is locked when the safety switch (5) is not pressed. This enables easy tightening and loosening of the tool
attachment in the quick-clamping chuck (1). The tool is clamped by turning the quick-clamping chuck (1) to
the right, loosen by turning to the left. Never open or close the quick-clamping chuck when the motor is running.
2.7. Operating the safety switch
With the safety switch (5), the speed can be infi nitely controlled from 0 – 560 min
min
(speed range 2). As soon as the safety switch (5) is actuated, the LED work light (6) lights up.

3. Operation
REMS Helix 22 V VE is equipped with a safety switch (5). This enables the drive unit to be stopped at any
time but especially in the event of danger.
3.1. Drilling
Only apply REMS Helix 22 V VE to the workpiece to be drilled when it is off. Press the safety switch (5) a little
at fi rst, then press in fully.
3.2. Turning in/loosening screws
Only apply REMS Helix 22 V VE to the screw head when it is off. As soon as the bit is fi rmly in the screw head,
press the safety switch (5) at fi rst only a little and then press in fully.
NOTICE
NOTICE
Switch off the drive unit immediately if the safety clutch responds during operation.
3.3. Removing burr with REMS REG
Set the preselection lever for the speed range (3) to "1" and the rotation direction switch (4) to right-hand
rotation. Press the safety switch (5) and observe the permissible speed indicated on the REG. Press the pipe
to be deburred carefully against the pipe deburrer.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Danger of injury! Do not reach into the area of the moving pipe deburrer!
3.5. Machine Status Check with Battery Low Discharge Protection
REMS Helix 22 V VE is equipped with high current overload protection with charging status indicator. The
charging status is displayed by the LED work light (6) The LED work light fl ashes when the battery needs
recharging, the battery is defective or the drive unit has cut-out due to overvoltage. If this status occurs
during work, the work procedure must be completed with a charged Li-Ion battery.
3.6. Graduated charging status indicator (10) of the battery
The graduated charging state indicator shows the charging state 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 state of the battery. If a LED fl ashes red, the battery must be recharged.
