This standard applies to hand-held non-electric power tools driven by rotary or linear motors, powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid or internal combustion engines and intended to be used by one
operator and supported by: the operators hand or hands or a suspension, e. g. a balancer. hand-held tools which are intended to be capable of being fixtured. Compliance with this standard on its own does not imply that power tools are suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, for which additional safety measures are likely to be required. This part, applies to hand-held non-electric power tools used for rotary drilling of holes in all kinds of material, e.g. wood, metal, concrete, plastics etc. and tappers for tapping and cleaning threads in metal and plastics.
This part lists the significant hazards caused by drills and tappers and specifies safety requirements valid for different aspects of safety during their foreseeable lifetime. Power tools covered by this part of the standard: drills; heavy duty drills with two handles; tappers. For examples of drills and tappers see annex A.
