2 Normative references
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
Addition:
EN 206:201 3, Concrete. Specification, performance, production and conformity EN 206:201 3/AMD1 :201 6
3 Terms and definitions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
Addition:
3.1 01 percussion hammer
tool equipped with a built-in percussion system where the impact energy is not dependent on the feed force applied by the operator and has no capability of rotational motion
Note 1 to entry: Percussion hammers are also known as chisel hammers, hammers, breakers, concrete breakers and picks.
3.1 02 rotary hammer
tool capable of rotational motion and equipped with a built-in percussion system where the impact energy is not dependent on the feed force applied by the operator (rotary hammer mode) and additionally, may have one or more of the following modes:
a) with rotational motion disengaged (percussion only mode)
b) with the percussion system disengaged (drill only mode)
4 General requirements
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
5 General conditions for the tests
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
5.1 7 Addition:
The mass of the tool includes the auxiliary handle and all parts of an integrated (i.e. non- detachable) dust extraction device, if any. A detachable dust extraction device is not included in the mass of the tool.
6 Radiation, toxicity and similar hazards
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
7 Classification
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
8 Marking and instructions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
8.1 4.1 Addition:
The additional safety instructions as specified in 8.1 4.1 .1 01 shall be given. This part may be printed separately from the “General Power Tool Safety Warnings”.
8.1 4.1 .1 01 Hammer safety warnings
1) Safety instructions for all operations
a) Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
b) Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
c) Brace the tool properly before use. This tool produces a high output torque and without properly bracing the tool during operation, loss of control may occur resulting in personal injury.
NOTE 1 01 The above warning applies only for rotary hammers with a maximum output torque greater than 1 00 Nm measured in accordance with 1 9.1 02.
d) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
NOTE 1 02 For rotary hammers that can also be used as screwdrivers, the words “or fasteners” are added after “cutting accessory”.IEC 62841-2-6 pdf download.
