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 operatorss 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 for tightening or installing of threaded fasteners. This part lists the significant hazards caused by such power tools and specifies safety requirements valid for different aspects of safety during their foreseeable lifetime. Power tools covered by this part of the standard: air-hydraulic impulse wrenches; impact wrenches; fastener installation tools; nut runners; open-ended spanners; ratchet wrenches; screwdrivers.
Die Norm legt Sicherheitsanforderungen für nichtelektrisch betriebene Schraubmaschinen zum Anziehen oder Anbringen von Befestigungselementen mit Gewinde fest.
