What is the danger
This product poses a risk of a broken wrist, hand, fingers and/or facial injuries. The handle disengages from the secure mounting on the drill body, rotating rapidly around it. Given that the user would probably be gripping both this handle and the rear handle, there is a risk of injury as the two handles suddenly rotate with considerable force in relationship to each other. The product does not comply with the Machinery Directive and the relevant European standard EN 60745. 9 incidents have been recorded varying from broken fingers to facial damage.
