- Are impact or hammer functions included?
Frequently asked questions
Does the battery pack need its own compliance evidence?
Yes. The battery pack can have battery-specific obligations and safety evidence separate from the drill body.
Should the charger be assessed as a separate product?
Yes. A supplied charger can have its own electrical-safety, EMC, substance and ecodesign requirements.
Why is the risk assessment important for a cordless drill?
The drill creates mechanical, electrical and foreseeable misuse hazards that should be connected to guards, controls, instructions and conformity evidence.
