scope:

This International 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 operator's 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.
NOTE: EN 13463-1 gives requirements for non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres.
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.
Special requirements and modifications on drills or tappers for the purpose of mounting it in a fixture are not covered by this part.
NOTE: At the date of publication no drills and tappers driven by internal combustion engines are known. When these are identified the standard will be amended to include such powered tools.
