Introduction
This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
The European Standard, EN 792, consists of a number of independent parts for individual types of hand-held
non-electric power tools.
Other EN standards deal with safety rules for hand-held power tools used in e. g. the following fields:
agriculture and forestry such as chain saws, hedge-trimmers, brush cutters, grass trimmers;
construction and building such as cutting-off power tools, concrete vibrators;
food industry, such as fowl secateurs, sheep shears.
Endeavours have been made to achieve co-ordination with the relevant Technical Committees so that the
safety requirements are compatible.
This standard is divided in the following parts:
Part 1 - Assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners (former part 14)
Part 2 - Cutting-off and crimping power tools (former part 15)
Part 3 - Drills and tappers
Part 4 - Non rotary percussive power tools
Part 5 - Rotary, percussive power drills
Part 6 - Assembly power tools for threaded fasteners
Part 7 - Grinders
Part 8 - Sanders and polishers
Part 9 - Die grinders
Part 10 - Compression power tools
Part 11 - Nibblers and shears
Part 12 - Small circular, small oscillating and reciprocating saws
Part 13 - Fastener driving tools

Certain parts of EN 792 cover hand-held non-electric power tools, driven by internal combustion engines
powered by gaseous or liquid fuel. In these parts, the safety aspects relating to internal combustion engines
are found in a normative annex.
The parts are type C standards and refer to pertinent European Standards of type A and B where such
standards are applicable.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this part of the standard, the following terms and definitions apply:
3.1 General terms and definitions
3.1.1 hand-held power tool: Machine driven by rotary or linear motors powered by compressed air,
hydraulic fluid, gaseous or liquid fuel, electricity or stored energy (e.g. by a spring) to do mechanical work and
so designed that the motor and the mechanism form an assembly that can easily be brought to its place of
operation. The hand-held power tool is operated by one or two hands.
NOTE Hand-held power tools driven by compressed air or gas are called pneumatic tools.
Hand-held power tools driven by hydraulic liquid are called hydraulic tools.
3.1.2 inserted tool: Tool inserted in the hand-held power tool to perform the intended work.
3.1.3 service tool: Tool intended for performing maintenance or service on the hand-held power tool.
3.1.4 control device: Device to start and stop the hand-held power tool or to change the direction of the
rotation or to control the functional characteristics such as speed and power.
3.1.5 maximum operating pressure: Maximum pressure that a hand-held power tool may be operated at,
as specified by the manufacturer.
3.2 Terms and definitions related to cutting-off and crimping power tools
3.2.1 crimping tool without a yoke: Power tool with a mechanism to permanently fasten by crimping or
clinching a connection element, e.g. to a cable or a hose.
3.2.2 cutting-off tool: Power tool where two jaws fully close the gap between them for cutting-off.

5 Safety requirements and measures
5.1 Mechanical safety
5.1.1 Surfaces, edges and corners
Accessible parts of the power tool, except the inserted tool, shall not have sharp edges or angles or rough or
abrasive surfaces, see 3.1 of EN 292-2:1991.
5.1.2 Supporting surface and stability
Power tools shall be so designed that they can be laid aside and remain in stable position on a plane surface.
5.1.3 High pressure ejection
Hydraulic systems of the power tool shall be enclosed so as to give protection against high pressure fluid
ejection.
5.2 Thermal safety
Surface temperatures of parts of the power tool which are held during use or could be inadvertently touched
shall follow the provisions of EN 563.
NOTE 1 The limit values for low temperatures are studied by CEN/TC 122.
Power tools for use in potentially explosive atmospheres should comply with EN 1127-1. However because
the suitability of a power tool for use in potentially explosive atmospheres will depend not only on the power
tool but the inserted tool and the workpiece, it is not possible to give any detailed advice in this standard.
5.3 Noise
5.3.1 General
The emission of noise from a power tool shall be kept as low as possible.
The noise emission from using hand-held power tools emanates from three main sources:
the hand-held power tool itself,
the inserted tool,
the workpiece.
NOTE Generally, the manufacturer has no possibility of influencing the noise emitted by the processed workpiece.
5.3.2 Noise emitted by the hand-held power tool
The noise emitted by the hand-held power tool itself can be divided into:
noise from the motor,
noise from exhaust air or gases at pneumatic tools,
vibration induced noise.
