HiKOKI’s IP56 Feature
IP56 is an independent stamp of durability against the elements that HiKOKI Power Tools hold as a bench mark.
In technical terms, the IP code or ‘Ingress Protection’ is a standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to measure the degrees of protection offered by electrical equipment enclosures against the ingress of solid foreign objects like dust or the ingress of water to hazardous parts.
Certain HiKOKI models have been designed, tested, and independantly certified to meet tehe IP56 level of protection against Dust & Water ingress*.
In real terms, every tradie knows that two potential onsite enemies threatening operating efficiency and long life are dust and water getting into the tool’s enclosure.
That’s why it’s so reassuring to see the IP56 sticker on the side of your HiKOKI tool.
*These products are designed to be resistant to dust and water. However it is not guaranteed that they will not fail. Refer to user manual for recommended use and maintenance procedures. IP56 Rating applies to certain tools only. Batteries and chargers are not IP56 Rated.
