EN 60204-1:2006 does not apply. The safety related part of the control system for starting the rotation of the spindle (see 5.2.1) shall conform to category 1 in accordance with the requirements of !EN ISO 13849-1:2008". The requirements shall be met at the level of the control circuits. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection of the machine and relevant functional testing of the machine.
5.2.4 Normal stopping The machine shall be fitted with a stop control system where by the machine can be brought safely to a complete stop. The stopping action shall include disconnection from energy supply of all actuators and actuate the brake (if provided-see 5.3.4). The normal stop control systems for machines fitted with spring operated mechanical brake shall comply with stop category 0 in accordance with the requirements in 9.2.2 of EN 60204-1:2006. The normal stop control system for machines fitted with any other type of brake e.g. electrical brake shall comply with stop category 1 in accordance with the requirements in 9.2.2 of EN 60204-1:2006. Where a category 1 stop control is fitted, the stopping sequence shall be: a) cut power to all machine actuators except workpiece clamping (if fitted) and actuate the brake; b) cut power to brake(s) (if electrical brake is fitted) after the saw spindle has come to rest e.g. by using a time delay in accordance with 5.2.1.2; SIST EN 1870-17:2007+A2:2009

EN 60204-1:2006. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, measurement, inspection of the machine and relevant functional testing of the machine. 5.2.6 Failure of the control circuits The requirements of Clause 6 of EN 1037:1995 apply and in addition: In the event of loss of pneumatic pressure, clamping of the workpiece shall be maintained until the return stroke of the tool is initiated. Where non-return valves are used to meet this requirement, they shall be fitted to the actuating cylinder. Also see 5.2.1. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and/or circuit diagrams, inspection of the machine and relevant functional testing of the machine. 5.3 Protection against mechanical hazards 5.3.1 Stability It shall be possible to fix stationary machines to a suitable stable structure e.g. floor. Facilities for fixing are e.g. fixing holes in the machine frame (also see 6.3 h)). Displaceable machines fitted with wheels shall have the facility to make them stable during cutting. Such facilities are e.g.: a) brakes for the wheels; or b) a combination of wheels and stabilisers ; or c) a device to retract the wheels from the floor. Verification:
By checking relevant drawings, inspection on the machine and performing the stability test described in Annex A. 5.3.2 Risk of break-up during operation The guards for the saw blade shall be manufactured from materials with at least the following properties: a) steel with an ultimate tensile strength of at least 350 N mm-2 and a wall thickness of at least 1, 5 mm; SIST EN 1870-17:2007+A2:2009

c) polycarbonate with a wall thickness of at least 3 mm or other plastic material (e.g. polyethylene, polyester, polyvinyl chloride, polymethylmetacrylate) having an impact resistance equal or better than 3 mm polycarbonate; d) cast iron with an ultimate tensile strength of at least 200 N mm-2 and a wall thickness of at least 5 mm. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, tensile strength, measurement, performing the test in Annex B and inspection of the machine NOTE For the ultimate tensile strength a confirmation from the manufacturer of the material can be useful.
5.3.3 Tool holder and tool design 5.3.3.1 Saw blade design The requirements of EN 847-1:2005 apply. Also see 6.3 j). Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and inspection of the machine. 5.3.3.2 Saw spindle design The saw spindle shall be manufactured: a) in steel with an ultimate tensile strength of at least 580 N mm-2; and
b) to at least the tolerances given in Annex B. The direction of the rotation of the saw spindle shall be such, that the cutting force of the saw blade is directed against the fence. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, measurement, and relevant functional testing of the machine. NOTE
For the ultimate tensile strength a confirmation from the manufacturer of the material can be useful.
5.3.3.3 Spindle locking When it is necessary to hold the spindle stationary for saw blade changing, a spindle holding/blocking device shall be provided e.g. a set of two separate spanners or an integral locking bar inserted through the spindle. .When a blocking device is used it shall prevent tool spindle rotation and shall not be deformed after starting the spindle drive motor, with the blocking device in place. Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, inspection of the machine, measurement and relevant functional testing of the machine. SIST EN 1870-17:2007+A2:2009

The machine shall be designed so that it is not possible to mount saw blades with a greater cutting width than 6 mm. Two saw flanges shall be provided which fulfil the following requirements: # a) for saw-blades with a diameter ≤ 450 mm the diameter of both flanges shall be at least D/4 (where D = the diameter of the largest saw-blade for which the machine is designed). for saw-blades with a diameter > 450 mm, the diameter of the flanges shall be at least D/6, but not less than 115 mm;$ b) the tolerance of the outside diameters shall be within ± 1 mm; # c) the clamping surface at the outside part of flange shall be at least 5 mm in width and recessed to t
