This European standard does not apply to: domestic machines; portable hand-held blenders and whisks which are covered by a specific standard (see EN 12853:2001).1.3
This standard covers significant hazards at such machines, as identified by risk assessment (seeEN 1050:1996), which are listed in clause 4 of this standard.1.4
This European standard does not deal with the vibration hazard.1.5
This European standard applies primarily to the machines which are manufactured after its date of issue.SIST EN 12854:2004

Zone 3 : hinge area of the beamHazards of crushing and entanglement of hands and fingers.

Figure 3 — Safety dimensions of the head protecting device5.2.1.1.2 During transport or removal of the toolOne of the following two measures shall be adopted : an interlocking device which prohibits the operation of the work head outside the working zone between300 mm and 900 mm inclusive (see Figure 4a) from the level of access (ground for example). Out of this zone,operation by means of a hold-to-run control is permitted in order e.g. to finish a process; a hold-to-run control device located on the control panel in such a manner that the operator has a clear view ofthe work head in all positions, see Figure 4a (see 3.23.3 of EN 292-1:1991).In the instruction handbook there shall be an explicit requirement for instructions to be given on tool change. Fortransport, the instructions shall state that the machine shall be locked in a safe position outside the operationalarea (see Figure 4b).SIST EN 12854:2004

Where technically necessary they shall be chosen from those of Figure B.17 of annex B.The manufacturer shall give in the instruction handbook detailed information regarding the cleaning procedures,intervals and products recommended to be used.NOTEBecause of the problem of contamination the machines are not intended to be cleaned with water jet (see 7.1.e).5.5 ErgonomicsRegard shall be given to the safeguards set out in 3.6 of EN 292-2:1991 and in EN 614-1. Any informationnecessary to achieve the ergonomic objectives which the user shall follow shall be included in the instructionhandbook.5.6 NoiseThe machines shall be so designed and constructed that risks from airborne noise emission are reduced to lowlevels by particularly applying measures at source to control noise, see for example EN ISO 11688-1. The successof the applied noise reduction measures is assessed on the basis of the actual noise emission values (see annexA) in relation to other machines of the same family.For these machines the major sound sources are the motor andthe rotating blades.SIST EN 12854:2004
