Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
This document is of relevance, in particular, for the following stakeholder groups representing the
market players with regard to machinery safety:
— machine manufacturers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— health and safety bodies (regulators, accident prevention organisations, market surveillance etc.).
Others can be affected by the level of machinery safety achieved with the means of the document by the
above-mentioned stakeholder groups:
— machine users/employers (small, medium and large enterprises);
— machine users/employees (e.g. trade unions, organizations for people with special needs);
— service providers, e. g. for maintenance (small, medium and large enterprises);

The above-mentioned stakeholder groups have been given the possibility to participate at the drafting
process of this document.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
are covered are indicated in the Scope of this document.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or
-B standards, the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the
other standards for machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this
type-C standard.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 19432-1:2020(E)
Building construction machinery and equipment —
Portable, hand-held, internal combustion engine-driven
abrasive cutting machines —
Part 1:
Safety requirements for cut-off machines for centre-
mounted rotating abrasive wheels
1 Scope
This document specifies safety requirements and measures for their verification for the design and
construction of portable, hand-held, internal combustion engine-driven cut-off machines intended to
be used by a single operator in the cutting of construction materials, such as asphalt, concrete, stone
and metal. It is applicable only to those machines designed purposely for use with a rotating, bonded-
abrasive and/or super-abrasive (for example diamond) cut-off wheel having a maximum outer diameter
of 430 mm, centre-mounted on and driven by a spindle shaft where the top of the wheel rotates away
from the operator (see Figure 1).
This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events significant
to these machines when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably
foreseeable by the manufacturer. See Annex F for a list of significant hazards.
This document specifies methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from their use, as
well as the type of information on safe working practices to be provided with the machines.
Cut-off wheel specifications are not considered in this document. Cut-off wheels are deemed to comply
to existing cut-off wheel standards.
NOTE For example see Bibliography.
All through the document, portable, hand-held, internal combustion engine-driven cut-off machines are
called “cut-off machines”.
This document is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.

Cut-off machines shall be marked in accordance with 5.2. Cut-off machines shall carry warnings in

An instruction handbook shall be provided with the machine and shall comply with the
requirements of 5.1.
ISO 19432-1:2020(E)
For protection from contact with moving parts, except the cut-off wheel, any opening shall have a safety
distance to the moving part that meets the requirements of ISO 13857:2008, 4.2.4.1 and 4.2.4.3.
When the machine is placed in its normal resting position (see Figure 2) on a flat horizontal surface, the
cut-off wheel or the guard shall not touch the horizontal surface and the machine shall remain stable.
The requirements for the normal resting position shall be verified by inspection.
