DEWALT promotes safe jobsites

PERFORM & PROTECT™

The DEWALT PERFORM & PROTECT™ line of tools and accessories is YOUR FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE™ on the job. They are designed to provide a high level of one or more of the following: dust containment, control, or low vibration, without sacrificing performance.

Dust containment

Offering 220+ OSHA Table 1 Compliant dust solutions within our DEWALT PERFORM & PROTECT™ line. PERFORM & PROTECT™ shrouds, extractors, and extraction accessories reduce the amount of air-borne dust exposure, increase use visibility, and cut down on tool maintenance costs.

Control

Tools can bind up in normal drilling or cutting applications, which can cause injury to the user or damage the tool. DEWALT PERFORM & PROTECT™ drills and grinders come equipped with integrated control features. The Anti-Rotation E-CLUTCH® System and Kickback Brake feature help protect the user in bind up situations.

Vibration

Prolonged exposure to vibration may result in fatigue, pain numbness, increased sensitivity to cold, and decreased sensitivity to touch in fingers and hands. The DEWALT SHOCKS ACTIVE VIBRATION CONTROL® System reduces vibration felt at the handles. ‡
