FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC

oscillating multifunction tools

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 62841-2-24 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116: Safety of motor-operated

Table I.101 for plunge cut applications and Table I.102 for sanding applications. Speed
settings, if any, are adjusted to the highest value. Amplitude settings, if any, are adjusted to the
maximum amplitude angle.
Table I.101 – Test conditions for plunge cut applications
Orientation Horizontal plunge cut through a vertical piece of chipboard, class P-LB-Reg in accordance
with ISO 16893:2016, with a density of (610 ± 60) kg/m , a minimum height of 500 mm and
a width of approximately 250 mm.
The thickness of the chipboard shall be (35 ± 5) mm to obtain a measurement time of not
less than 4 s.
The chipboard shall be securely fixed to the sliding element of the test rig as shown in
Figure I.102.
Tool bit/settings A new accessory as specified for plunge cuts for wood material in accordance with
8.14.2 a) 101). The accessory shall have a generally rectangular shape with a minimum
length L of 48 mm and a minimum width W of 30 mm as shown in Figure I.104.
The accessory used shall be recorded.
Feed force With the tool completely hand supported in accordance with 8.14.2, the horizontal feed
force (force in direction to the cut) applied to the tool shall be (20 ± 3) N. Where it is not
possible to achieve the test cycle with a horizontal feed force (20 ± 3) N, the feed force may
be reduced to the nearest lower maximum level that enables the test cycle to be
a
completed . The feed force is achieved by opposing the force from the hanging weight
during the entire plunge cut, as shown in Figure I.102. Excessive gripping force shall be
avoided.
Test cycle One test cycle consists of one plunge cut in a horizontal direction. The measurement starts
once the full depth of the cutting teeth of the accessory have entered the chipboard and
stops
– when any portion of the cutting teeth of the accessory begins to exit the chipboard; or
– after a period of 8 s when any portion of the cutting teeth of the accessory has not
exited the chipboard.
a
Tools with low power can operate incorrectly or stall during the test cycle when a horizontal feed force (20 ± 3) N
is applied to tool.
Table I.102 – Test conditions for sanding application
Orientation Sanding a horizontal steel plate 400 mm × 400 mm × 20 mm mounted on a bench.
The steel plate shall be supported on resilient material and fixed vertically by screws,
clamps, air cylinders or the like to a test rig, see Figure I.103.
Tool bit/settings A new accessory as specified for sanding in accordance with 8.14.2 a) 101).
Recommended sanding paper for steel with a grain size of 180. The accessory and the
sanding paper used shall be recorded. Examples of sanding accessories are shown in
Figure I.105.
Feed force Vertical force applied in addition to the weight of the tool:
– (30 ± 5) N, if the mass of the tool is less than 1,5 kg;
– (50 ± 5) N, if the mass of the tool is equal to or greater than 1,5 kg;
– or the force necessary to obtain rated input, whichever is the lower.
The vertical force shall be determined, e.g. by means of a scale, and shall be recorded.
For battery-powered oscillating multifunction tools, the mass of the tool to select the
feed force shall be the mass of the tool in accordance with 5.17, but not including any
detachable battery pack(s) or separable battery pack(s).
Test cycle With a new sanding paper, carry out 1 min of sanding before starting measurements.
The tool shall be moved at a constant speed over the surface of the steel plate in a
figure-of-eight pattern, as shown in Figure I.106. Each figure-of-eight pattern shall take
approximately 4 s.
The measurement shall be conducted to obtain a measurement time of equal or greater
than 8 s in accordance with IEC 62841-1:2014, I.3.3.3.
