Ta evropski standard določa vse zahteve in/ali ukrepe za zmanjšanje tveganj ter omejuje tveganje pri večlistnih krožnih žagah za prečni rez (z najmanj dvema rezalnima enotama) z mehanskim pomikom obdelovanca in ročnim podajanjem in/ali odvzemom, opremljene s pogonskim motorjem za vsako rezalno enoto, v nadaljnjem besedilu »stroji«, ki so namenjene za rezanje polnega lesa, ivernih plošč, vlaknenih plošč, vezanih plošč in teh materialov, prevlečenih s plastično obrobo in/ali plastjo iz plastike/lahkih zlitin, ter se uporabljajo v skladu z namenom in pod pogoji, ki jih je predvidel proizvajalec, vključno z razumno predvideno nepravilno uporabo. Ta dokument opisuje vsa večja tveganja, nevarne situacije in dogodke, ki se nanašajo na te stroje, kot je navedeno v točki 4. Ne opisuje nobenih tveganj, ki se nanašajo na mehansko podajanje in/ali odvzem obdelovancev ali izhajajo iz uporabe stroja z drugim strojem. Ta dokument ne pokriva strojev, namenjenih za rezanje navzgor (glejte 3.2.10). Zahteve tega dokumenta veljajo za vse stroje, ne glede na njihov način upravljanja, npr. elektromehansko in/ali elektronsko in/ali pnevmatsko. Ta dokument ne velja za večlistne krožne žage za prečni rez z mehanskim pomikom obdelovanca in ročnim podajanjem in/ali odvzemom, ki so bile izdelane, preden je bil objavljen kot standard EN.

The safety related parts of control system of this machine are those for the following functions and they shall fulfil at least the requirements of the PL given below in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1:2008:  starting and restarting of the saw-blade(s) rotation, the movements of the saw unit(s), the work-piece feed mechanism: PL=c (see 5.2.3, 5.2.6);  normal stopping: PL=c (see 5.2.4);  emergency stop: PL=c (see 5.2.5);  interlocking: PL=c (see 5.3.7);  interlocking between the feed chain motor with the position of the saw spindles: PL=c (see 5.2.6);  interlocking with guard locking: PL=c (see 5.3.7);  prevention unexpected start-up after failure of the power supply: PL=c (see 5.2.8);  hold-to run control: PL=c (see 5.3.7.3);  control duplication (where fitted): PL=c (see 5.2.7);  initiation of the braking system: PL=b or PL=c (see 5.3.4). For all components exposed to environmental conditions, e.g. dust, fumes and/or gases, these conditions shall be taken into account. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams and inspection of the machine. NOTE For the component characteristics a confirmation from the manufacturer of the component can be useful. SIST EN 1870-15:2012

For the components characteristics a confirmation from the components' manufacturers can be useful. 5.2.2 Position of controls Hand-operated control devices for start and stop of the motor for the saw spindles, emergency stop, integrated feed and hold-to run shall be located in an area between 600 mm and 1700 mm above the floor level. NOTE For electric control devices see also EN 60204-1:2006, 10.1.1. Where controls are located on a separate movable control console it shall be of the type with cable connection to the machine and its position relative to the machine shall be indicated in the instruction handbook (see 6.4). For positions of emergency stop, see 5.2.5 and for the position of the hold-to-run control devices, see 5.3.7.3. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection and relevant functional testing on the machine. 5.2.3 Starting The requirements of EN ISO 12100:2010, 6.2.11 and EN 60204-1:2006, 9.2.5.2 apply and in addition: Before starting or restarting the machine all the safeguards shall be in place and functional. This is achieved by the interlocking arrangements described in 5.3.7. Start or restart shall only be possible by actuation of the start control device provided for that purpose. Starting of the saw spindle drive motor(s), the powered movements of the saw units and the powered movements of the saw spindles (if provided) shall only be possible by manually operated control devices. For starting the feed chain motor, see 5.2.6. For starting the feed chain drive motor, either a manually operated control device or a foot pedal shall be provided. Where for initiating the movement of the feed chain a foot pedal is used this control device shall in accordance with the following requirements: a) it shall be of the hold-to-run control type; b) it shall be shrouded against unintentional activation; c) the force required to actuate the foot pedal shall not exceed 350 N; d) the safety related parts of the control system shall conform to at least PL=c in accordance with the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1:2008.
