Foreword
The text of document 116/41/FDIS, future edition 5 of IEC 60745-2-5, prepared by TC 116, Safety
of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote.
A draft amendment, which covers common modifications towards future IEC 60745-2-5 (116/41/FDIS),
was prepared by CENELEC Technical committee TC 116, Safety of hand-held motor operated electric
tools. It was submitted to the formal vote.
The combined texts were approved by CENELEC as EN 60745-2-5 on 2010-10-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60745-2-5:2007 + A11:2009.
Main changes include: in Clause 17, Endurance: introduction of endurance tests in practical use for
the guards of all types of saws; in Clause 19, Mechanical hazards: clarifications and editorial
improvement in respect to the guarding; and in Annex M, Safety of working stands for operation with
hand-held motor-operated electric tools: editorial improvements.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the amendment has to be implemented

at national level by publication of an identical

national standard or by endorsement
(dop) 2011-10-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting

with the amendment have to be withdrawn
(dow) 2013-10-01
This European Standard is divided into two parts:
Part 1: General requirements which are common to most hand-held electric motor operated tools (for
the purpose of this standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the scope of
this standard;
Part 2: Requirements for particular types of tools which either supplement or modify the requirements
given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools.
This European Standard has been prepared under Mandate M/396 given to CENELEC by the
European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements
of EC Directive 2006/42/EC. See Annex ZZ.
Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2 provides one means of conforming with
the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
CEN/TC 255 is producing standards for non-electric circular saws (EN 792-12).
Warning: Other requirements and other EC Directives can be applicable to the products falling within
the scope of this standard.
This standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2.

This Part 2-5 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60745-1:2009. When this standard states "addition",
"modification" or "replacement", the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
Subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101;
additional annexes are lettered AA, BB, etc.
Subclauses, tables and figures which are additional to those in IEC 60745-2-5:2010 are prefixed “Z”.
Annex ZZ has been added by CENELEC.
NOTE In this standard the following print types are used:
- requirements proper; in roman type
- test specifications: in italic type;
- explanatory matter: in smaller roman type.

Circular saws intended to cut metal are tested under load observing the conditions shown in
Table Z102.
Circular saws with speed setting devices shall be adjusted to the settings to cut the work piece
material required in the test.
Table Z101 – Operating conditions for circular saws cutting wood
Cutting a horizontal piece of chipboard with minimum dimensions
Orientation
800 mm x 600 mm and a thickness depending on maximum cutting depth of the
circular saw:
- maximum cutting depth ≤ 40 mm: chipboard thickness 19 mm;
- maximum cutting depth > 40 mm: chipboard thickness 38 mm.
The board shall be firmly fixed by screws, clamps air cylinders or the like to a
test bench using resilient material. It shall be mounted so that it does not have
any significant resonance in the frequency range that can influence the test
result.
The board excess end shall be 250 mm from the clamped area and shall be
readjusted at the beginning of each series of tests.
Tool bit New blade as recommended by the manufacturer for cutting chipboard.
Feed force

The measurement starts when the blade enters the wood and finishes when the
blade leaves the wood.
