FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

8.14.1.1 Addition:
101) Diamond drill safety warnings
a) When performing drilling that requires the use of water, route the water away from
the operator’s work area or use a liquid collection device. Such precautionary
measures keep the operator’s work area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
b) Operate power tool by insulated grasping 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.
c) Wear hearing protection when diamond drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
d) When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and turn off the tool.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit jamming.
e) When restarting a diamond drill in the workpiece check that the bit rotates freely
before starting. If the bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool, or may cause
the diamond drill to release from the workpiece.
f) When securing the drill stand with anchors and fasteners to the workpiece, ensure
that the anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining the machine during
use. If the workpiece is weak or porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill stand to
release from the workpiece.
g) When securing the drill stand with a vacuum pad to the workpiece, install the pad on
a smooth, clean, non-porous surface. Do not secure to laminated surfaces such as
tiles and composite coating. If the workpiece is not smooth, flat or well affixed, the pad
may pull away from the workpiece.
NOTE The above warning applies only if the tool is intended to be used with a vacuum pad.

h) Ensure there is sufficient vacuum before and during drilling. If the vacuum is
insufficient, the pad may release from the workpiece.
NOTE The above warning applies only if the tool is intended to be used with a vacuum pad
i) Never perform drilling with the machine secured by the vacuum pad only, except
when drilling downwards. If the vacuum is lost, the pad will release from the workpiece.
NOTE The above warning applies only if the tool is intended to be used with a vacuum pad.
j) When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to protect persons and the work area
on the other side. The bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the
other side.
k) Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with water supply. Water entering the power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The above warning is only needed for tools that cannot be used for drilling overhead.
l) When drilling overhead, always use the liquid collection device specified in the
instructions. Do not allow water to flow into the tool. Water entering the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The above warning is only needed for tools that can be used for drilling overhead.
8.14.2 a) Addition:
101) Information about which diamond core bits can be used with the machine;
102) Instruction to and information about how to mount the tool to the drill stand;
103) Information about how to install the diamond core bit to the tool and, if applicable,
information about diamond core bit assembly;
104) Instruction to and information about how to anchor the drill stand in all applicable
positions;
105) For tools using vacuum fixing devices:
– Instruction to and information about how to check the surface where the drill stand
shall be fixed;
– Instruction to additionally secure the drill stand when drilling in orientations other
than vertically down, by using appropriate accessories or means and information
how to achieve this;

Test set-up The drill stand with the drill unit is fixed on a concrete block (specified in Table I.102) having
the minimum dimensions 500 mm x 500 mm and 200 mm in height and supported on resilient
material. The fixing shall be done in accordance with 8.14.2 a).
The machine settings (speed, liquid supply, impact, etc.) shall be correctly adjusted for drilling
into concrete with the type and diameter of the core drill bit used for the test, as described in
accordance with 8.14.2 a).
The liquid collection device, if any, shall be in place during the operation of the tool as
described in accordance with 8.14.2 a).
For the noise test, the concrete block, its support and the tool shall be so oriented that the
geometric centre of the tool is approximately 1 m above the reflecting plane. The centre of the
concrete block shall be located under the top microphone.
Orientation
Drilling vertically down into the concrete block.
The drilled core holes may overlap for the cases, where the concrete block is thick enough to
enable dead end core holes.
Tool bit Core bit, for application with liquid supply, with approximately 75 % of the maximum core bit
diameter as specified in accordance with 8.14.2 a) 101).
The depth of hole shall be according to Table I.103.
Before the test the drill bit shall be sharpened on a sharpening plate and then one hole shall be
drilled to give the drill bit a normal sharpness.
Feed force The feed force applied to the tool shall be determined as follows:
Drill with the tool increasing the feed force until either the speed is significantly reduced by the
load or a torque limiting device operates. Reduce the feed force slightly until a feed force is
reached enabling stable operation. Use this feed force for the test.
Preparation The start of drilling may cause problems, because the core bit is not guided. Prior to testing, the
holes shall be prepared to a depth of 5 mm.
Test cycle The measurement starts, when the drill bit has contact with the concrete block (in 5 mm depth),
and stops at a drilling depth specified in Table I.103, or when the maximum drilling depth of the
individual core drill bit is reached, whatever is less.

Part 3-6: Particular requirements for transportable
diamond drills with liquid system

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 62841-3-6 edition 1.1 contains the first edition (2014-05) [documents 116/165/FDIS
and 116/179/RVD], its corrigendum (2015-05) and its amendment 1 (2022-05) [documents
116/575/FDIS and 116/583/RVD].
In this Redline version, a vertical line in the margin shows where the technical content
is modified by amendment 1. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough

© IEC 2022
This part of International Standard IEC 62841 has been prepared by technical committee 116:
Safety of motor-operated electric tools.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
This Part 3-6 is to be used in conjunction with IEC 62841-1:2014.
This Part 3-6 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 62841-1, so as to
convert it into the IEC Standard: Particular requirements for transportable diamond drills with
liquid system.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 3-6, that subclause
applies as far as is reasonable. Where this standard states "addition", "modification" or
"replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
The terms defined in Clause 3 are printed in bold typeface.
Subclauses, notes and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101.
A list of all parts of the IEC 62841 series, under the general title: Electric motor-operated
hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety, can be found
on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendment will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under webstore.iec.ch
in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication.

IMPORTANT – The "colour inside" logo on the cover page of this document indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.

8.14.2 a) 102).
Replace the existing text of 8.14.2 a), item 102), with the following new text:
102) Instruction to and information about how to mount the drill unit to the drill stand, if
separable;
8.14.1.1 Addition:
101) Diamond drill safety warnings
a) When performing drilling that requires the use of water, route the water away from
the operator’s work area or use a liquid collection device. Such precautionary
measures keep the operator’s work area dry and reduce the risk of electrical shock.
b) Operate power tool by insulated grasping 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.
c) Wear hearing protection when diamond drilling. Exposure to noise can cause hearing
loss.
d) When the bit is jammed, stop applying downward pressure and turn off the tool.
Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the bit jamming.
e) When restarting a diamond drill in the workpiece check that the bit rotates freely
before starting. If the bit is jammed, it may not start, may overload the tool, or may cause
the diamond drill to release from the workpiece.
f) When securing the drill stand with anchors and fasteners to the workpiece, ensure
that the anchoring used is capable of holding and restraining the machine during
use. If the workpiece is weak or porous, the anchor may pull out causing the drill stand to
release from the workpiece.
g) When securing the drill stand with a vacuum pad to the workpiece, install the pad on
a smooth, clean, non-porous surface. Do not secure to laminated surfaces such as
tiles and composite coating. If the workpiece is not smooth, flat or well affixed, the pad
may pull away from the workpiece.
NOTE The above warning applies only if the tool is intended to be used with a vacuum pad.
h) Ensure there is sufficient vacuum before and during drilling. If the vacuum is
insufficient, the pad may release from the workpiece.
NOTE The above warning applies only if the tool is intended to be used with a vacuum pad
i) Never perform drilling with the machine secured by the vacuum pad only, except
when drilling downwards. If the vacuum is lost, the pad will release from the workpiece.
NOTE The above warning applies only if the tool is intended to be used with a vacuum pad.
j) When drilling through walls or ceilings, ensure to protect persons and the work area
on the other side. The bit may extend through the hole or the core may fall out on the
other side.
k) Do not use this tool for overhead drilling with water supply. Water entering the power
tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The above warning is only needed for tools that cannot be used for drilling overhead.
l) When drilling overhead, always use the liquid collection device specified in the
instructions. Do not allow water to flow into the tool. Water entering the power tool
will increase the risk of electric shock.
NOTE The above warning is only needed for tools that can be used for drilling overhead.
