FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116: Safety of motor-
operated electric tools.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
116/429/FDIS 116/443/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
The committee has decided that the contents of this amendment and the base publication will
remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under
"http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to the specific publication. At this date, the
publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
NOTE The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing
organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in
which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or
revised tests.
It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation
nationally not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication.

Delete the following reference:
IEC 60335-2-29:2016, Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 2-29:
Particular requirements for battery chargers
Add, after ISO 7010, the following new reference:
ISO 8295:1995, Plastics – Film and sheeting – Determination of the coefficients of friction
3 Terms and definitions
3.101
automatic mode
Add the following Note to entry to the definition:

© IEC 2020
Note 1 to entry: Operation of the machine without the use of a manual controller and without the cutting means
operating during set up of the working area is considered not to be operation in automatic mode.
Replace the existing Definition 3.128 with the following:
3.128
peripherals
equipment additional to the machine itself that is provided by the manufacturer for intended
use of the machine, e.g. charging station(s), manual controller, signal source for perimeter
delimiter
Add, at the end of Clause 3, the following new definitions:
3.138
switched circuit
circuit that is a low-power circuit when the power switch is in the “off” position
Note 1 to entry: The requirements for a low-power circuit are given in 19.11.1.
3.139
power switch
device that electrically activates the cutting means and/or traction drive of the machine in
the “on” position and deactivates the same function of the machine in its “off” position
Note 1 to entry: The device is comprised of all primary and ancillary components (e.g. tactile switch, relays, load
switches) of the electrical control circuit that activates the cutting means and/or traction drive of the machine.
6 Classification
Replace the existing Subclause 6.1 with the following:
6.1 Replacement:
This subclause is not applicable for machines and non-mains-powered peripherals.
NOTE Machines and non-mains-powered peripherals covered by this standard are limited to those where the
only power source is a battery and are therefore considered not to be a class I appliance, class II appliance, or
a class III appliance and are not required to have basic insulation, supplementary insulation or reinforced
insulation. Electric shock hazard is considered to exist only between parts of opposite polarity where hazardous
voltage is present.
Mains-powered peripherals shall be of one of the following classes with respect to protection
against electric shock:
– class II appliance;
– class III appliance.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the relevant tests.
Replace the existing Subclause 6.2 with the following:
6.2 Addition:
Enclosures of machines shall be at least IPX1, except enclosures containing parts having a
working voltage that is a hazardous voltage, which shall be at least IPX4. Enclosures of
charging stations and other peripherals intended to be installed outdoors (e.g. a signal
source for a perimeter delimiter) shall be at least IPX1 if of class III construction.
Constructions other than class III construction shall be at least IPX4.

NOTE 8 Void
Replace the existing text of Note 11 with the following new text:
NOTE 11 Void
20 Stability and mechanical hazards
Delete the third dashed item of 20.102.2 (“rollover sensor”).
Replace the existing Subclause 20.102.4.1.1 with the following:
20.102.4.1.1 General
Inadvertent access to the cutting means by the feet during operation shall be prevented, so
far as reasonably practicable by the cutting means enclosure.
Compliance is checked by the tests of 20.102.4.1.2, 20.102.4.1.3 and 20.102.4.1.4.
The tests are made with the cutting means in the most unfavourable cutting position. If the
cutting means path height is different at different cutting means speeds, the test is
conducted so as to include the extremes of cutting means height.
Replace the existing Subclauses 20.102.4.1.2 and 20.102.4.1.3 with the following:
20.102.4.1.2 Adult foot probe test
The machine shall be placed on a hard, flat surface. The guards shall be in the normal
operating position on the cutting means enclosure and the machine support members in
contact with the supporting surface. Components of machines, such as wheels and frames,
are where relevant considered as part of the cutting means enclosure for the purpose of
these tests. The tests are conducted under static conditions.
The foot probe of Figure 102 shall be inserted towards the cutting means around the
machine’s external enclosure. The base of the probe is held horizontally at any height and
then inclined up to 15° forward or backward from the horizontal (see Figure 102). The probe is
applied around the entire machine as described in Figure 102 until a horizontal force of 20 N
maximum is reached, or until the machine’s enclosure lifts or moves from the original position,
or until contact is made with the cutting means path, whichever occurs first.
The test probe shall not enter the path of the cutting means assembly.
20.102.4.1.3 Foot probe test for standing child
The machine shall be placed on a hard, flat surface. The guards shall be in the normal
operating position on the cutting means enclosure and the machine support members in
contact with the supporting surface. Components of machines, such as wheels and frames,
are where relevant considered as part of the cutting means enclosure for the purpose of
these tests. The tests are conducted under static conditions.

The foot probe of Figure 107 shall be inserted towards the cutting means around the
machine’s external enclosure. The base of the probe is held horizontally at any height and
then inclined up to 15° forward or backward from the horizontal (see Figure 102). The probe is
applied around the entire machine as described in Figure 102 until a horizontal force of 20 N
maximum is reached, or until the machine’s enclosure lifts or moves from the original position,
or until contact is made with the cutting means path, whichever occurs first.
The test probe shall not enter the path of the cutting means assembly.
Add the following new subclause:
20.102.4.1.4 Foot probe test for kneeling child
The machine is placed on a test surface as described in Annex CC, except that
– the minimum size as described in Clause CC.2 shall be such that the machine is capable
of attaining its maximum traction drive speed in automatic mode during normal use with
the cutting means operating; and
– an injection tube as shown in Figure CC.1 need not be incorporated into the test surface.
The machine is tested by means of the foot probe shown in Figure 109. The sole of the foot
probe shall be constructed of a material with a 70 Shore A hardness (nominal) and a
thickness of (3 ± 0,5) mm. The sole of the foot probe shall be free from dust and grease. Prior
