Product Finder Safe drilling from DEWALT
Health and Safety is paramount in the workplace and with the added emphasis on dust control, DEWALT has designed a low vibration cordless drilling system with integrated dust extraction to combat this. The DC234KL 36v rotary hammer can now produce low vibration and dust free drilling in conjunction with the new D25302DH integrated dust extraction adaptor.
Long term exposure to certain dusts (especially in silica aggregates) can cause silicosis or asthma. These risks can now be seriously reduced by using the DEWALT system. The D25302DH has an independent motor and draws its power from the 36v battery in the drill. Having an independent motor ensures that full suction power is obtained and that there is no reduction in drilling performance. It works with a spring loaded extendable nose-piece attached to the handle and a hose that is attached to the nose piece from the dust collector. This means that the extraction works directly on the work piece and all dust is cleared immediately. The vacuum starts as soon as the trigger is pressed and remains on for several seconds after the trigger is released to ensure all hoses are clear after drilling.

www.ewnews.co.uk New from Legrand
Legrand has broadened the scope of its Synergy wiring devices and enhanced its provision of products for the healthcare sector by launching a new range of sockets that meet the requirements stipulated in the Medical Electrical Installation Guidance Notes (MEIGaN).
The range, which incorporates 1 and 2 gang Isolated Power Supply (IPS) clean earth sockets in both switched and unswitched forms, is manufactured with dark blue coated stainless steel front plates and engraved with white lettering that reads Medical Equipment Only.
Caroline Boden, Marketing Manager for Legrand said: “MEIGaN was published in order to give healthcare organisations clear and very strict guidance in regards to permanent electrical wiring and installation in new, refurbished or upgraded healthcare establishments and transportable treatment rooms.
“One of the key benefits of it is that the electrical products now being installed have been specifically designed for healthcare use and so can play a part in the fight against infection control. In regards to our Synergy MEIGaN sockets, we have ensured they have been designed with no gaps or indents where germs and bacteria could gather.”
