This heading covers tools which incorporate a compressed air motor (or compressed air operated piston) an internal combustion motor or any other non-electric motor (e.g. small hydraulic turbines); the compressed air motor is generally operated by an external source of compressed air and in the case of the internal combustion motor the ignition batteries are generally separate. In pneumatic tools the action of the compressed air is sometimes supplemented by hydraulic connections. The heading covers such tools only if for working in the hand. The expression " tools for working in the hand " means tools designed to be held in the hand during use and also heavier tools (such as earth rammers) which are portable that is which can be lifted and moved by hand by the user in particular while work is in progress and which are also designed to be controlled and directed by hand during operation. To obviate the fatigue of taking their full weight during operation they may be used with auxiliary supporting devices (e.g. tripods jacklegs overhead lifting tackle).
The heading excludes tools which because their weight size etc. obviously cannot be used in the hand as described above. It also excludes tools (whether or not portable) fitted with a base plate or other device for fixing to the wall bench floor etc. and those with provision for running on rails (e.g. machines for slotting or drilling railway sleepers). The heading further excludes combinations consisting of a tool holder with one or more tools and a separate spark- ignition internal combustion piston engine with a flexible shaft; the tool holder is classified in heading 84.66 the spark- ignition internal combustion piston engine with its flexible shaft in heading 84.07 and the tools in their own appropriate headings.
Subject to the conditions above the tools of this heading include inter alia :
(1) Drilling tapping or reaming machines.
(2) Boring machines rock drills etc.
(3) Wrenches screwdrivers nut setters and the like.
(4) Filing machines grinders sanders polishers etc.
(5) Wire brush machines.
(6) Circular saws and chain saws.
(7) Hammers of various types such as chipping hammers de-scaling hammers caulking hammers riveting hammers concrete breakers.
(8) Squeeze-type riveters.
(9) Sheet metal cutters (shear type or nibbler type).
(10) Sand rammers for foundries de-coring tools for removing cores from castings mould vibrators.
(11) Earth compacting rammers for road building etc.
(12) Automatic spades.
(13) Concrete vibrators to facilitate the flow and setting of concrete.
(14) Hydraulically driven boiler type de-scalers.
(15) Compressed air type greasing pistols for garages etc.
(16) Portable machines for trimming lawns cutting grass along walls borders or under bushes for example. Such machines have a self-contained internal combustion engine in a light metal frame and a cutting device usually consisting of one or more thin nylon threads.
(17) Portable brush-cutters with a self-contained internal combustion engine a drive shaft (rigid or flexible) and a tool holder presented together with various interchangeable cutting tools for mounting in the tool holder.
PARTS
Subject to the general provisions regarding the classification of parts (see the General Explanatory Note to Section XVI) the heading also covers parts (other than tool holders of heading 84.66) of the tools of this heading.
