(Main)Hand-held non-electric power tools - Safety requirements - Part 11: Nibblers and shears
Hand-held non-electric power tools - Safety requirements - Part 11: Nibblers and shears
The standard EN 792 applies to hand-held non-electric power tools driven by rotary or linear motors, powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid and intended to be used by one operator and supported by:
- the operator's hand or hands,
- a suspension, e.g. a balancer.
This part, EN 792-11, applies to hand-held, non-electric power tools with a reciprocating movement for nibbling and shearing. This part lists the significant hazards caused by such power tools and specifies safety requirements valid for different aspects of safety during their foreseeable lifetime.
Power tools covered by this part of the standard:
- nibblers,
- shears.
Special requirements and modifications on a hand-held power tool for the purpose of mounting it in a fixture are not covered by this part.
NOTE At the date of publication no power tools driven by internal combustion engines are known.
Handgehaltene nicht-elektrisch betriebene Maschinen - Sicherheitsanforderungen - Teil 11: Nibbler und Scheren
Machines portatives à moteur non électrique - Prescriptions de sécurité - Partie 11: Grignoteuses et cisailles
La norme EN 792 s'applique aux machines portatives non électriques entraînées par des moteurs rotatifs ou linéaires,
alimentés par air comprimé, fluide hydraulique et prévues pour être utilisées par un seul opérateur et portée par
- la (ou les) main(s) de l'opérateur,
- en suspension, par exemple à l'aide d'un équilibreur.
Cette partie, l’EN 792-11, s'applique aux machines portatives de découpe non électriques, animées d'un mouvement
alternatif pour grignoter et cisailler. Elle énumère les risques significatifs provoqués par de telles machines portatives
et spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité relatives aux différents aspects de sécurité pouvant être rencontrés pendant
leur durée de vie.
La présente norme couvre les types de machines portatives suivantes :
- grignoteuses ;
- cisailles.
Les modifications et prescriptions spécifiques en vue du montage d'une machine portative sur un support ne sont pas
traitées par cette partie.
NOTE À la date de publication, il n’y a pas de machine mue par un moteur à combustion interne connue.
