This standard deals with the safety of hand-held electric tools with AC single-phase and DC rated voltages not greater than 250V and AC three-phase rated voltages not greater than 440V driven by motors or electromagnets. These tools can be equipped with electric heating elements. This standard deals as far as possible with the common hazards caused by hand-held tools that people actually encounter in their daily use of tools. Note: Hand-held power tools (hereinafter referred to as tools) that can be mounted on a support and can be used as stationary tools without changing the tool itself are also included in the scope of this standard; however, in this case, additional requirements may be required, As specified in Part II. Pay attention to the following facts: ---- Hand-held tools used in vehicles, boats or aircraft may require additional requirements; ---- Hand-held tools used in tropical countries may require special requirements; ---- In many countries, There are additional requirements stipulated by the competent departments of health, labor protection, and water sources. This standard does not apply to: ----Hand-held tools used in places where there are often special conditions such as corrosive or explosive atmospheres (dust, steam or gas); ----Hand-held tools for medical use (IEC 601) . Electric heating tools belong to IEC 335-2-45. For motors that are not isolated from the mains and whose basic insulation is not designed for the rated voltage of the tool, the requirements are specified in Annex B.
