Ces machines comportent une lame courbe effectuant un mouvement rotatif autour d'un axe, le chargement s'effectuant verticalement et manuellement.
Les machines suivantes sont exclues du domaine d'application de la présente norme :
¾ les machines à couper multi-lames ) ;
¾ les machines à lame rotative courbe (en forme de faucille) ou circulaire effectuant un mouvement d'oscillation par rapport à un axe, le chargement s'effectuant horizontalement et manuellement 1) ;
¾ les machines d'expérimentation ou d'essai en cours d'élaboration chez le fabricant ;
¾ les appareils et machines domestiques destinés à être utilisés par un public plus large.
Les phénomènes dangereux significatifs couverts par la présente norme sont mécaniques (par exemple coupure, happement, cisaillement, perte de stabilité), électriques, ergonomiques, ainsi que le manque d'hygiène.
Le bruit n'est pas considéré comme un phénomène dangereux significatif. Un code d'essai acoustique est fourni en Annexe B. La présente norme ne traite pas de la réduction des émissions sonores.

If the machine is not supplied with such integral stand, a permanent warning sign (see Figure 5) indicating the minimum height of the upper edge of the infeed chute (1 500 mm) shall be fixed to the machine and be clearly visible. In that case, the instruction handbook shall also state explicitly the required height of the upper edge of the infeed chute (see 7.1) The characters of the warning sign shall be at least 5 mm high and the sign shall be at least 40 mm high and 35 mm wide.
