Hilti highlights dust
The SR30-A36 has a patented blade holder.
Hilti believes that the issue of controlling dust when using power tools is set to rise up the agenda significantly following the Health & Safety Executive’s decision to undertake a consultation on proposals to implement amendments to the Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive (2004/37/EC). This introduces or revises occupational workplace exposure limit
(WEL) values for a number of carcinogens, including respirable crystalline silica dust, which can be produced by some construction tasks. The Directive classifies RCS as a carcinogen where it is generated as a result of a work process. Walid Hussain, National Tool Hire Manager (UK) of Hilti (Gt. Britain)
Ltd, told EHN, ”We can offer a wide range of appropriate products as harmonised solutions comprising the tool, captor hood, extraction unit and tubing. This also means hirers have the potential to offer more items with each hire, including consumables.”
The TE500-A36’s 9.0Ah battery is said to give similar performance to its corded counterpart.
A dust collection attachment can be fitted to Hilti’s forthcoming
SR30-A36 cordless reciprocating saw, scheduled for launch in August. Claimed to offer similar performance to a corded equivalent, it has a patented blade holder designed to avoid breakages and an ergonomically designed front grip. Another August launch will be the TE500-A36 cordless breaker which has a mighty 9.0Ah battery. Again, it offers similar performance to the corded TE500-AVR, can be connected to a dust extractor and is designed for low vibration. Also new is the DX9 powder
actuated nailer, which Hilti believes could allow hirers to target installers fastening metal decks in warehouses, shopping malls and other buildings. The tool fires nails and is operated in a standing position for less fatigue,
higher consistency and greater productivity. Also available is the SDT9, a corded decking tool which drives collated screws into panels, again from a standing position. Hilti believes both

tools can be offered as a pair to meet a variety of work requirements.
