    DUST MANAGEMENT

    Reduced risk of dust inhalation and cleaner workspaces.

    VIBRATIONS

    Vibration levels reduced by up to 50%, lowering exposure to risk.

    SAFETY CONTROLS

    Tools can bind up in normal drilling or cutting applications which can cause injury to the user, or damage the tool.

    LANYARD READY

    Your last line of defence when tools fall.

    A STEADY HAND

    Prolonged vibration exposure leads to common disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and white finger (VWF). Our Active Vibration Control features include counterbalance systems, floating handles and more to considerably lower levels of triaxial vibrations. This helps deliver up to 50% lower vibrations compared to standard model power tools as measured against EN 60745 1:2006.

    Correctly used, tools in the Perform & Protect range ensure user exposure is kept below the Exposure Action Value limit. Tools recording a 5m/s² vibration can be used up to 2 hours/day to reach the exposure action value (EAV) and up to 8 hours/day to reach the exposure limit value (ELV). Increased time and comfort of use means you and your team can perform heavy-duty tasks for longer with greater safety.

    check Perform heavy duty tasks for longer
    check Increased user comfort levels
    check Enhanced team safety levels, reliability, and longevity


    Reduces vibration felt by the user at handles by 20%.

    POWER IS NOTHING WITHOUT CONTROL

    High speed, high-performance tools can jam when cutting or drilling risking injury to the user and tool. Our Perform & Protect range features integrated, advanced torque control technology as standard.

    Anti-rotation E-Clutch systems detect rotational motion and minimise any sudden torque reaction, while electronic Kickback Brakes in our grinders automatically shut off power when a pinch, stall or bind up occurs. LED indicators and overload sensors also feature.

    SAFETY CONTROL ELEMENTS

    Wireless remote operation of tools with integrated Wireless Tool Control.

    Automatically shuts the tool down in bind-up situations to prevent injury.

    YOUR LAST LINE OF DEFENSE WHEN A TOOL FALLS

    When working at heights on the jobsite it’s important to adopt integrated solutions offering ultimate protection and secure the tool in case it drops. Lanyard ready integrated solutions offer options to tether select corded and cordless tools to rigid structures on jobsites when working at height with a maximum lanyard length of 2m, helping to secure the tool in case it is dropped*. All Perform & Protect products are designed to consistently exceed health and safety regulations without compromising on performance.

    *See individual product details for lanyard connection methods. Lanyards sold separately. Additional safety instructions included in manual.
