± 1 mm. The clamping surface shall be at least 3 mm in width and recessed to the centre (see Figure 4). Precautions shall be taken to ensure that the saw-blade does not come loose during start up, running, run-down or braking, e.g. by using a positive connection between the spindle and saw-blade, or by using a positive connection between the front saw flange and the saw spindle. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, measurement, inspection and relevant functional testing on the machine.
