Encyclopedia of Power Tools
5th Edition 2001, 1180 Pages

The interesting reader is told about basics in mathematics and physics. Extensive international conversion tables and chemical values as well as information on the most important characteristics of material are conveying practice-oriented knowledge. In the chapter of ?Technology?, basics in electrical engineering, electronics and electric machines are pictured. Explanations of the basics in industrial hydraulics and construction technology are added.
As a novelty, the topic of ?Practical Applications? was especially designed for the users, pointing out connections between material, procedure and power tools. Many user?s tables and illustrations are completing the topic, which is finally closed by recommendations on work safety
