5 Safety requirements and/or measures For guidance in connection with risk reduction by design, see !4.1 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003", and in addition: 5.1 Controls 5.1.1 Safety and reliability of control systems For the purposes of this European Standard a safety related control system is one from and including the initial manual control or position detector to the point of input to the final actuator or element e.g. motor. The safety related control systems of this machine (see !EN ISO 13849-1:2008") are those for:  starting (see 5.1.3);  normal stopping (see 5.1.4);  interlocking (see 5.2.7.3, 5.2.7.4);  the braking system (see 5.1.4, 5.2.4).
These control systems shall, as a minimum be designed and constructed using "well tried components and principles". For the purposes of this European Standard "well tried components and principles" means: a) electrical components if they comply with relevant standards including the following as: i) !EN 60947-5-1:2004", section 3 for control switches with positive opening operation used as mechanical actuated position detectors for interlocking guards and for relays used in auxiliary circuits; ii) EN 60947-4-1 for electromechanical contactors and motor-starters used in main circuits; iii) !HD 22.1 S4:2002" for rubber-insulated cables; iv) !HD 21.1 S4:2002" for polyvinyl chloride cable if this cable is additionally protected against mechanical damage by positioning (e.g. inside frames). b) electrical principles if they comply with the first four measures listed in 9.4.2.1 of !EN 60204-1:2006". The circuits shall be either "hardwired", or if electronic components are used in safety related control systems "well tried" is fulfilled if they are in accordance with 9.4.2.2 (i.e. redundancy with cross-monitoring) or 9.4.2.3 (i.e. diversity) of !EN 60204-1:2006"; c) mechanical components if, for example, they operate in the positive mode in accordance with the description given in !4.5 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003"; d) mechanically actuated position detectors for guards if they are actuated in the positive mode and their arrangement/fastening and cam design/mounting comply with the requirements of 5.2 and 5.3 of EN 1088:1995. Time delay devices used in hardwired safety related control circuits can be of category B in accordance with the requirements of !EN ISO 13849-1:2008" if the time delay device is designed for at least one million actuations.

Key1 Area X Figure 7 —Position of controls Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, measurement and inspection of the machine. 5.1.3 Starting See 9.2.5.2 of !EN 60204-1:2006" and in addition: For the purposes of this European Standard "all of the safeguards in place and functional" is achieved by the interlocking arrangements described in 5.2.7 and "operation" means rotation of the saw spindle.
The exceptions described in 9.2.5.2 of !EN 60204-1:2006" are not relevant. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection and relevant functional testing of the machine. 5.1.4 Normal stopping Machines shall be fitted with a stop control which, when actuated shall disconnect power from all the machine actuators and actuate the brake (if provided). If the machine is fitted with a mechanical brake this stop control shall be of a category 0 in accordance with the requirements 9.2.2 of !EN 60204-1:2006". If the machine is fitted with an electrical brake this stop control shall be of category 1 in accordance with the requirements 9.2.2 of !EN 60204-1:2006". When initiated the stopping sequence shall be: SIST EN 1870-5:2003+A1:2009

NOTE The requirements for a stability test for transportable machines with wheels, both when moved from location to location and when in use, will be considered at the first revision of this standard. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, inspection and relevant functional testing of the machine. 5.2.2 Risk of break-up during operation The guards for the saw blade shall be manufactured from: a) steel having an ultimate tensile strength of at least 350 N mm-2 and a wall thickness of at least 1,5 mm; b) light alloy with characteristics in accordance with Table 2; Table 2 — Light alloy tool guard thickness and tensile strength
Ultimate tensile strength N mm-2 Minimum thickness mm 180
c) polycarbonate with a wall thickness of at least 3 mm or other plastic material with such a wall thickness that the impact strength is equal to or better than that of polycarbonate of 3 mm thickness.
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, measurement !and" inspection on the machine !deleted text". !NOTE For the ultimate tensile strength a confirmation from the manufacturer of the material can be useful." 5.2.3 Tool holder and tool design 5.2.3.1 General It shall not be possible to mount a saw blade in the machine of a greater diameter than the saw blade for which the machine is designed. Saw spindles shall be manufactured in accordance with the tolerances given in Annex B. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, inspection, measurement and relevant functional testing of the machine. 5.2.3.2 Spindle locking When it is necessary to hold the spindle stationary for tool changing, a spindle holding device shall be provided. This may be e.g. a double spanner arrangement, or an integral locking bar inserted through the spindle. This bar shall have a minimum diameter of 8 mm and be made from steel with an ultimate tensile strength of at least 350 N mm-2. Locking bars shall prevent the spindle from rotating if the spindle drive motor is inadvertently switched on. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, inspection measurement !deleted text" and relevant functional testing of the machine. Alternatively on machines with locking bars, by the following test: After starting the spindle drive motor with the locking bar in place the spindle shall remain stationary. !NOTE For the ultimate tensile strength a confirmation from the manufacturer of the material can be useful." 5.2.3.3 Saw blade fixing device Saw flanges (or in the case of flush mounted saw blades - a flange) shall be provided. For saw blades with a diameter ≤ 450 mm the diameter of both flanges (or flange for flush mounting) shall be at least D/4 (where D = the maximum diameter of the saw blade for which the machine is designed). For saw blades with a diameter > 450 mm, the diameter of the flanges (or flange for flush mounting) shall be at least D/6, but not less than 115 mm. For flanges other than those for flush mounted saw blades the clamping surface at the outside part of flange shall be at least 5 mm in width and recessed to the centre (see Figure 8). Where two flanges are provided, both outside diameters shall be within a limit deviation of ± 1 mm. Precautions shall be taken to ensure that the saw blade does not come loose during start-up, running, rundown or braking, e.g. by using a positive connection between the spindle and the saw blade, or by using a positive connection between the front saw flange and the saw spindle.

The braked run-down time shall be less than 10 s. Electrical braking shall not be by reverse current. Verification: For the determination of unbraked run-down time and braked run-down time, if relevant, see the appropriate test below. 5.2.4.2 Conditions for all tests a) The spindle unit shall be set in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions (e.g. belt tension); b) when selecting the speed and the saw blade, conditions shall be chosen which create the greatest kinetic energy for which the machine is designed; c) warm up the spindle unit for at least 15 min by running the machine under no load before beginning the test; d) verify that the actual spindle speed is within 10 % of the intended speed; e) when testing a unit provided with manual star delta starting, the manufacturer’s instructions for starting shall be observed; SIST EN 1870-5:2003+A1:2009
