Methods and devices relating to loose debris chip shielding for dust free tile removal and ordinary tile removal projects. During the tile removal process, a chipping hammer powers a chipping hammer blade that breaks up tiles into pieces. The larger, heavier pieces are simply pushed away, but smaller debris chips break off with enough force to send them flying up in the air and in different directions landing in undesirable locations. The methods and devices herein protect equipment, environments, and individuals from damage caused by loose debris chips during tile removal. A shield with several degrees of freedom moves freely in response to chipping hammer vibrations and blocks loose flying debris chips, deflecting them toward the ground.

A vacuum dust extraction apparatus for a percussive air tool contains and extracts workplace dust created by the impacting action of the air tool's implement. The apparatus includes a clamshell adapter constructed as two halves that are oppositely disposed about the air tool's retainer, and joined to enclose the retainer, and a tubular dust bellows fastened to the outboard end of the joined clamshell halves. The clamshell adaptor includes an integral exhaust port, and an industrial vacuum coupled to the exhaust port via a flexible suction/vacuum hose creates suction in the bellows for extracting airborne dust created by percussive action of the implement on a workpiece. Suction loss through the clamshell adaptor is minimized by a sealing element that bridges a gap between the interior periphery of the clamshell adaptor and the exterior periphery of the air tool's retainer.

A hand-held power tool includes an electric motor, a housing, and a housing cover. The housing includes an opening located in the vicinity of carbon brushes of the electric motor, such that the carbon brushes can be removed through the opening in the housing. The housing cover includes air inlets through which cooling air can flow into the interior of the housing. The opening in the housing is detachably closed by the housing cover.

A dust cover for a hammer work tool, a hammer work tool, and a method of attaching the same are disclosed. The hammer work tool includes a housing, a power cell enclosed inside the housing, a tool member, and a detachable dust cover. When attached, the dust cover prevents particulate matter from entering the housing. When detached, a housing opening uncovered by the dust cover provides access to the power cell for maintenance and repairs. During installation, a housing rim and a locking tab of the hammer work tool are respectively received by a groove and a locking tab receiver of the dust cover. Advantageously, the dust cover is durable, cost effective, and easily attached and detached without the use of additional tools.

A power tool having a hammer mechanism, including: a connecting part connectable with a dust collector, and with a connection flow path to suck in the air from the dust collector to generate a suction power in the dust collector; a motor with a rotating shaft; a first fan to rotate with the rotating shaft and generate a first air flow to cool down the motor; a second fan to rotate with the first fan and generate a second air flow to generate the suction power; a housing with a first exhaust port to discharge the first air flow and a second exhaust port to discharge the second air flow; a first exhaust flow path to guide the first air flow to the first exhaust port; and a second exhaust flow path separated from the first exhaust flow path to guide the second air flow to the second exhaust port.

A docking station for a dust collection box comprising: a housing; a socket formed by the housing configured to receive a dust collection box of a dust extractor; first and second apertures formed through a wall of the housing which aligns with air outlet and inlet apertures of a dust collection box when the dust collection box is mounted within the socket; a connector connectable to a vacuum source; and a dust channel mounted inside of the housing, which provides a passageway between the second aperture and the connector. The docking station may further include an air vent formed through a wall of the housing to allow air surrounding the housing to enter a cavity formed inside of the housing, where the first aperture is connected to the cavity in the housing to allow air in the cavity to exit the housing through the first aperture.

A handheld power tool (1) is provided, including a tool holder (2) for receiving and locking a tool (3) on a working axis (4), and including a power tool housing (6). A striking mechanism (8) includes a striker (10) for applying impacts in the impact direction (9) and an anvil (11) for absorbing the impacts and for transmitting the impacts in the impact direction (9) onto the tool (3) accommodated in the tool holder (2). A collar (18) is fastened to the power tool housing (6) and to the anvil (11). When the anvil (11) abuts a rebound impact damper (13) in the impact direction (9), the elastic collar (18) applies a force acting in the impact direction (9) onto the anvil (11).

A vacuum dust extraction system includes a snorkel coupled to the implement end of an air tool, a dust bellows surrounding the air tool's implement and fastened to the outboard end of the snorkel, a pneumatically powered water filtration industrial vacuum, and a suction hose coupling the snorkel to the vacuum. The apparatus features an improved coupling arrangement for attaching the snorkel to the barrel of the tool driver that permits the apparatus to work with a wide assortment of air tools, and an improved water filtration apparatus housed in the vacuum.

Provided is a work tool that can work suitably in cooperation with an attachment device connected to a main body of the work tool to enhance work efficiency. The work tool includes a main body 2, and a control circuit 71 configured to provide control over the main body 2. The main body 2 includes a motor 3, an end-bit mount portion 10 and an end bit 14 as a work part configured to be driven by the motor 3 to perform a work. A dust collector 100 is connectable to the main body 2 to assist the work. The control circuit 71 is configured to detect whether the dust collector 100 is connected to the main body 2 and change the control over the main body 2 based on whether the connection is established or not.

A hand-held power tool includes an electric motor, a housing, and a housing cover. The housing includes an opening located in the vicinity of carbon brushes of the electric motor, such that the carbon brushes can be removed through the opening in the housing. The housing cover includes air inlets through which cooling air can flow into the interior of the housing. The opening in the housing is detachably closed by the housing cover.
