Dust Management

ULTIMATE SAFETY.
MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY.

Perform & Protect is our stamp of certification and range of power tools that let you get more done in less time. Tools in the range let you consistently perform to the highest standards without compromising safety or health. Tools in the Perform & Protect range are designed to consistently exceed health and safety regulations without compromising on performance. It is our stamp of certification that lets you know that the tools you use are up to the task — they let you get more done in less time without compromising health and safety.

    PERFORMANCE

    Perform & Protect tools let you get more done in less time and push boundaries of performance without compromising health and safety.

    check Get more done in less time

    check Improved tool and team performance

    check Tools exceed health and safety regulations

    COMPLIANCE

    Having tools that are compliant with stringent jobsite regulations gives you and your team the ability to take on a greater range of jobs.

    check Access jobs on large construction sites

    check Tools comply with jobsite regulations

    check Take on a wider range of larger jobs

    SAFETY

    Jobsite safety is paramount. Our Perform & Protect stamp lets your team know that you've tools that exceed safety standards and lets everyone on site know that you're fully compliant and safe.

    check Informs users that tools are fully compliant

    check Inform construction sites that you are fully compliant

    check Mitigates risks associated with prolonged tool use

    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.

    CLEANER EFFICIENCY

    The Perform & Protect range reduces the health risks associated with dust inhalation such as silicosis or chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD). The Perform & Protect range features advanced dust management solutions including HEPA certified M Class extractors (0.1% dusts with maximum allowable concentrations (MAC) 0.1 mg/m³) with automatic filter cleaning, shrouds, hollow drill bits, as well as universal extractors compatible with all brands of tools.

    check Improved tool performance, reliability, and longevity
    check A cleaner and safer work environment
    check Reduced risk of dust inhalation

    DUST MANAGEMENT ELEMENTS

    Automatic pulsing filters prevent filter blinding and maintain efficiency.

    A universal system connecting tools to dust extraction shrouds.

    Wireless remote operation of tools with integrated Wireless Tool Control.

    M-Class certified conforming to stringent jobsite guidelines.

    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.

    Automatic grinder shut off when a pinch, stall, or bind-up occurs.

    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.

    Airlock Compatibility

    Each extractor unit in the AirLock range has specific attachments available to connect to a broad range of DEWALT tools.
