This document specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to stationary and displaceable hand fed single spindle vertical moulding machines (with or without demountable power feed unit), herein after referred to as "machines",
designed to cut solid wood, chip board, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials
if they are covered with plastic laminate or edgings when they are used as intended
and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse .
Machines which are designed to work wood based materials may also be used for working
hardened plastic materials with similar physical characteristics as wood.
NOTE 1 For the definition of stationary and displaceable machine see 3.2.17 and 3.2.18.
This document does not apply to:
-
a) machines equipped with outboard bearings;
-
b) machines equipped with powered movements of front extension table and/or tenoning sliding table;
-
c) hand held woodworking machines or any adaptation permitting their use in a different
mode, i.e. bench mounting;
NOTE 2 Hand-held motor-operated electric tools are dealt with in EN 60745‑1:2009 together with EN 60745‑2‑17:2010.
-
d) machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which are intended to carry
out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand.
The bench can also be an integrated part of the machine if it consists of hinged legs
which can be extended down;
NOTE 3 Transportable motor-operated electric tools are dealt with in EN 61029‑1:2009 together with EN 61029‑2‑8:2010.
This document is not applicable to hand fed single spindle vertical moulding machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
NOTE 4 Machines covered by this document are listed under 7 of Annex IV of the Machinery Directive.
