Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery - Safety - Part 2-6: Particular requirements for hand-held hammers
IEC 62841-2-6:2020 Tools covered by this document include percussion hammers and rotary hammers, including rotary hammers with the capability to rotate only with the percussion system disengaged (drill only mode).
The rated voltage is not more than 250 V for single-phase a.c. or d.c. tools, and 480 V for three-phase a.c. tools.
This document does not apply to drills and impact drills.
This document does not apply to tools that are designed exclusively for driving fasteners, such as palm nailers.
The content of the corrigendum 1 (2024-10) has been included in this copy.
Outils électroportatifs à moteur, outils portables et machines pour jardins et pelouses - Sécurité - Partie 2-6 : Exigences particulières pour les marteaux portatifs
IEC 62841-2-6:2020 Les outils couverts par le présent document comprennent les marteaux de percussion et les marteaux rotatifs, y compris les marteaux rotatifs qui ne sont capables de tourner que lorsque le système de percussion est désactivé (mode forage uniquement).
La tension nominale n’est pas supérieure à 250 V pour les outils a.c. ou d.c. à une seule phase, et à 480 V pour les outils à trois phases a.c.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux perceuses ni aux perceuses à percussion.
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux outils destinés exclusivement à la pose de fixations, comme les cloueuses portatives.
Le contenu du corrigendum 1 (2024-10) a été pris en considération dans cet exemplaire.
