– change of Subclause 13.1 into Annex ZD. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This European Standard is divided into two parts: Part 1 General requirements, which are common to most transportable motor, operated tools (for the purpose of this European Standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the scope of this European Standard. Part 2 Requirements for particular types of tool which either supplement or modify the requirements given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools. Compliance with the relevant clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2 provides one means of conforming to the specified essential health and safety requirements of the Directive. This European Standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100. For noise and vibration, this European Standard covers the requirements for their measurement, the provision of information arising from these measurements and the provision of information about the personal protective equipment required. Specific requirements for the reduction of the risk arising from noise and vibration through the design of the tool are not given as this reflects the current state of the art.
Warning: Other requirements arising from other EU Directives can be applicable to the products falling within the scope of this standard. SIST EN 61029-2-1:2013

SIST EN 61029-2-1:2013

Addition: Circular saw benches shall be equipped with a guarding system, which cannot be removed without the aid of a tool. This requirement does not apply to a top guard fixed to a riving knife. 18.1.101 Guarding above the saw table 18.1.101.1 Circular saw benches shall have a top guard for the crown and the front of the saw blade that may be an adjustable guard, a self-closing guard or a combination of these. An adjustable guard when adjusted shall remain in any position necessary to give the required protection. - For riving knife mounted guards:
For all intended saw blade diameters and all positions of the saw blade, the guard shall cover the top and sides of the exposed saw teeth above a straight line between the guard mounting point on the riving knife and the first cutting tooth at the top of the table with the saw blade in the vertical position (an example is shown in Figure Z102). The maximum external width except a dust extraction port, if any, shall be 40 mm. - For other top guards:
When mounted separately from the riving knife, but integral with the machine, the support for the top guard shall not be in line with the riving knife.
The guard shall be capable of screening the top and both sides of the saw blade horizontally between the riving knife and the table at the front of the saw blade, shall be adjustable from a position 5 mm above the maximum height of cut down to the table and shall remain parallel with the table. The maximum external width shall be 50 mm.
For tools that have the facility to tilt the saw blade, either an auxiliary guard shall be provided, or the tool guard shall be capable of being fitted with an extension piece for use during angled cutting. The guards or extension pieces shall be exchangeable without the aid of a tool. 18.1.101.2 The top guard shall be constructed from soft material (e.g. aluminium or plastic) which will minimize damage to the saw blade should contact occur. The guard shall be designed to bear against the smooth sides of the saw blade in order to minimize the risk of damage to the guard. Either - the guard side walls shall have a thickness of minimum 6 mm or - the guard side walls shall be equipped with internal ribs on at least the lowest 3 mm of the side walls providing a total thickness of minimum 6 mm (see Figure Z103). If one side wall of a self-closing guard is made longer for bevelling, the 6 mm requirement does not apply to the additional side wall portion. 18.1.101.3 Void 18.1.101.4 Void SIST EN 61029-2-1:2013

– 11 – EN 61029-2-1:2012 18.1.101.5 A self-closing guard shall automatically a) open by contact with the workpiece to be cut as it is moved towards the saw blade; b) remain in contact with the upper surface of the workpiece as it is cut, to screen both sides of the saw blade at least down to the root of the teeth and at least between the upper surface of the workpiece and the riving knife; c) return to the initial position, in contact with the top of the table, after the workpiece has moved past the guard. Compliance with 18.101.1, 18.101.2 and 18.101.5 is checked by inspection and by measurement. 18.1.101.Z1 The guard and its supporting system shall have sufficient stability to reduce the risk of the saw blade making contact with the guard. Compliance is checked, with no saw blade fitted, by the following test (see Figures Z104 a) and Z104 b)). - For riving knife mounted saw blade guards:
While the guard is subjected to a load of 5 N at the front edge of the guard as defined in Figure Z104 a), the maximum deflection shall not be more than 15 mm. - For separately from riving knife mounted saw blade guards:
While the guard is subjected to a load of 20 N at the front edge of the guard as defined in Figure Z104 b), the maximum allowable deflection shall not be more than 8 mm. 18.1.102 Guarding below the saw table 18.1.102.1 Access to dangerous moving parts under the table shall not be possible at any depth of cut and any angle of inclination of the saw blade. Compliance with 18.1.102.1 is checked by using the test probe in Figure Z105. 18.1.102.2 Void 18.1.103 Riving knife 18.1.103.1 Circular saw benches shall be equipped with a riving knife. 18.1.103.2 The riving knife shall be rigidly fixed and be in alignment with the plane of the saw blade (tolerance ± 0,2 mm) and disposed to it so as to pass freely through the cutting groove. The position of the riving knife shall not change relative to the saw blade when the depth of cut is adjusted. 18.1.103.3 The riving knife and its holder shall be so designed as to allow the adjustment of the riving knife, for all saw blade diameters resulting in cutting capacities between 100 % and 95 % of the maximum cutting capacity, to comply with the following conditions: a) above the saw table the radial distance between the riving knife and the toothed rim of the saw blade shall not at any point exceed 5 mm as shown at Figure Z106, at any depth of cut; b) the tip of the riving knife shall not be lower than 5 mm from the tooth peak, as shown at Figure Z106. The leading edge of the riving knife shall be chamfered to provide a lead-in and the riving knife shall be of constant thickness (within ± 0,2 mm) throughout its working length.

– 13 – EN 61029-2-1:2012 18.1.105.2 The workpiece guiding part of the rip fence shall be adjustable parallel with the saw blade so that its out-feed end can be positioned forward to a point in line with the front edge of the riving knife, and rearwards to a point at the table level which is in line with the first cutting tooth of the largest saw blade for which the tool is designed when adjusted to the maximum depth of cut. Material of the guiding surface that may come in contact with the saw blade shall be made from a material that can easily be cut such as aluminium, plastic or wood. The rip fence shall be provided with two guiding surfaces, one for large depths of cut and one for small depths of cut, so that the saw blade cannot come in contact with the fence when the saw blade is tilted for 45°. The height of the lower guiding surface shall be not more than 12 mm (see also Figure Z111).
Compliance is checked by inspection and measurement. 18.1.105.Z1 Cross-cutting fence The saw may be provided with a cross-cutting fence. The fixing arrangement shall ensure that the fence cannot rise or swing out of position. The distance between the end of the cross-cutting fence closest to the saw blade and the saw blade shall not exceed 15 mm. If contact between the cross-cutting fence and the saw blade cannot be avoided, the part close to the saw blade shall be made of a material that can easily be cut such as aluminium, wood or plastic. The minimum height of the guiding surface of the fence shall be 30 mm or the maximum cutting capacity, whichever is the smaller. Where the fence passes beneath the saw blade top guard the maximum height of the fence shall not exceed 12 mm. Compliance is checked by inspection and measurement. 18.1.106 Flanges The outer diameter of the contact surface shall be not less than 0,2 times the saw blade diameter. The overlap a of the clamping area of the two flanges shall be at least 1,5 mm wide as specified in Figure Z112. Compliance is checked by inspection and measurement. 18.1.107 Dust outlet Connection ports for external dust collection equipment, if any, shall be directed away from the operator. Compliance is checked by inspection. It shall not be possible to gain access to the saw blade through the dust outlet opening. Compliance is checked by applying the test probe of Figure Z105.
