UL 45 Document Information:
Title
UL Standard for Safety Portable Electric Tools
Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
Publication Date:
May 6, 1997
Scope:
These requirements cover portable electric tools rated not more than
600 V (at not more than 250 V
if the tool employs a universal motor), for use in accordance with the
National Electrical Code.
In addition these requirements cover accessories and attachments for
use with portable electric
tools. Specific requirements are outlined in Sections 62 - 66.
These requirements do not cover fixed or stationary electric tools,
flexible-shaft tools, gardening
appliances, garage equipment, soldering irons or guns, painting
equipment, floor-finishing
machines, or other equipment covered by individual requirements.
The requirements cover double-insulated tools. Specific requirements
are given in Sections 59 - 61.
For the purpose of these requirements, tools are classified into two
groups:
a) A general-use tool is considered to be a tool (usually employing a
universal motor) that
ordinarily is subject to a wide fluctuation of load, such as a drill,
a hand circular saw, an
aerial grinder, and a disc sander.
b) A special-use tool is considered to be a tool intended for a
particular operation not involving
a wide variation of load, such as an orbital sander and a nibbler.
These requirements cover an accessory and an attachment:
a) Recommended by the manufacturer;
b) Referred to in the instruction manual for a tool; or
c) Packed with a tool.
These requirements do not cover accessories or attachments that:
a) Are not provided with the tool; and
b) Are not identified by catalog number or equivalent product
designation in the instruction manual
for the tool.
These requirements do not cover accessories or attachments mentioned
in minicatalogs or flyers even
if the catalog or flyer is provided with the tool.
Multifunction tools that have clearly separate modes of operation,
such as hammer-drills and rotary
hammers, are required to separately comply with the requirements
applicable to each separate mode
of operation. See 29.1.
