Part 2-14: Particular requirements for hand-held planers

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.
This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.
IEC 62841-2-14 edition 1.1 contains the first edition (2015-06) [documents 116/222/FDIS
and 116/236/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2025-02) [documents 116/857/FDIS and
116/882/RVD].
In this Redline version, a vertical line in the margin shows where the technical content
is modified by amendment 1. Additions are in green text, deletions are in strikethrough
red text. A separate Final version with all changes accepted is available in this
publication.

International Standard IEC 62841-2-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116:
Safety of motor-operated electric tools.
This bilingual version (2017-12) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in
2015-06.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The French version of this standard has not been voted upon.
This Part 2-14 is to be used in conjunction with the first edition of IEC 62841-1 (2014).
This Part 2-14 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 62841-1, so as to
convert it into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for hand-held planers.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-14, that subclause
applies as far as relevant. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or
“replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
The terms defined in Clause 3 are printed in bold typeface.
Subclauses, notes and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101.
A list of all parts of the IEC 62841 series, under the general title: Electric motor-operated
hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety, can be found
on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document and its amendment will remain
unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the
data related to the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn, or
• revised.
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.

For planers, the additional safety instructions as specified in 8.14.1.101 shall be given. This
part may be printed separately from the “General power tool safety warnings”.
8.14.1.101 Safety instructions for planers
a) Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter
may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
b) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
c) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
8.14.2 b) Addition:
101) instructions on how to adjust the entire range of the depth of cut;
102) instruction on the correct use of the dust collection system.
8.14.2 c) Addition:
101) information about types of cutting heads which can be used, if applicable;

Compliance is checked by the following test:
The planer is set to minimum depth of cut and is positioned with the shoes resting on a flat
surface that extends beyond the planer by at least 100 mm in all directions. Any lift-off
device is disabled. The accessibility is checked by means of the test probe shown in
Figure 102 with a force not exceeding 5 N.
19.108 Planers with rabbeting facilities shall be provided with a guard that avoids
inadvertent contact at the sides with the blades.
NOTE Rabbeting is also known as rebating.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the following test:
The planer is set to minimum depth of cut and is positioned with the shoes resting on a flat
surface that extends beyond the planer by at least 100 mm in all directions. Any lift-off
device is disabled. The accessibility is checked by means of the test probe shown in
Figure 102 without any force.
© IEC 2025
19.109 It shall not be possible to touch the blades through the chip ejection opening.
Compliance is checked by testing all apertures for chip ejection with the test probe of
Figure 102. It shall not be possible to touch the blades in the cutting head at any angle of the
probe.
19.110 Planers shall stop within 10 s after switching off.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by measurement.
19.111 Lift-off device
19.111.1 If a lift-off device is provided to meet the requirements of 18.8 or 21.18.1.1, it
shall meet the requirements of 19.111.2 and 19.111.3, which are checked only after
completing the endurance test of 17.101.
19.111.2 If a lift-off device is provided, it shall be designed so that
– it is automatically activated, when the planer is lifted up from a horizontal surface; and
– the blade(s) do not make contact, when the planer is set at maximum depth of cut in
accordance with 8.14.2 b) 101) and placed on a horizontal surface.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
19.111.3 A lift-off device shall provide sufficient stability.
Compliance is checked by the following test:
The planer is set to maximum depth of cut in accordance with 8.14.2 b) 101) and with the
supply cord, if any, removed. The planer is then placed on a flat board of medium density
3 3

International Standard IEC 62841-2-14 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116:
Safety of motor-operated electric tools.
This bilingual version (2017-12) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in
2015-06.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
116/222/FDIS 116/236/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The French version of this standard has not been voted upon.
This Part 2-14 is to be used in conjunction with the first edition of IEC 62841-1 (2014).
This Part 2-14 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses in IEC 62841-1, so as to
convert it into the IEC standard: Particular requirements for hand-held planers.
Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-14, that subclause
applies as far as relevant. Where this standard states “addition”, “modification” or
“replacement”, the relevant text in Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
– notes: in small roman type.
The terms defined in Clause 3 are printed in bold typeface.
Subclauses, notes and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting
from 101.
A list of all parts of the IEC 62841 series, under the general title: Electric motor-operated
hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety, can be found
on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this 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.

This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
3 Terms and definitions
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
Additional definitions:
3.101
planer
tool intended for removing surface material, equipped with a rotating cutting head where the
axis of rotation of the cutting head is parallel to the plane of the base plate, which is the part
supporting the planer on the workpiece
Note 1 to entry: The base plate consists of a fixed shoe and an adjustable shoe that determines the depth of cut.
3.102
lift-off device
device which keeps the blade(s) from making contact with a flat surface when the base plate
of the planer is attempted to be placed on the flat surface
3.103

– 10 – IEC 62841-2-14:2015 © IEC 2015
19.104 The blades shall be secured in the cutter block in such a way that friction alone is not
relied upon to prevent the radial ejection of the blades.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
19.105 Cutting heads shall be designed and made of such materials that they withstand the
forces and loads expected in normal use.
Compliance is checked by the following test:
An overspeed test shall be made on a sample cutting head, equipped with blades for the
largest cutting diameter and the largest cutting edge width, the test speed being 1,5 times the
rated no-load speed. If applicable, tension elements such as clamping screws shall be
tightened in accordance with the instructions required by 8.14.2 b).
After the test, the cutting head shall not be deformed or cracked, no screws shall be
loosened and displacements of separable parts shall be less than specified in the test
procedure.
The test procedure is as follows:
1) Measure the cutting head dimensions.
2) Bring the cutting head to the rated no-load speed, for 1 min.
3) Stop and re-measure the cutting head; measured displacements of the separable parts of
the cutting head shall not be greater than 0,15 mm.
4) Bring the cutting head to the test speed, for 1 min.
5) Stop and re-measure the cutting head and compare the results with those obtained from
step 3. The compared displacements shall not exceed 0,15 mm.
19.106 Clamping screws or bolts shall not project beyond the cutter block as shown in
Figure 101.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
19.107 It shall not be possible to inadvertently touch rotating parts from the sides of the
planer, except for the cases covered by 19.108.
Compliance is checked by the following test:
The planer is set to minimum depth of cut and is positioned with the shoes resting on a flat
surface that extends beyond the planer by at least 100 mm in all directions. Any lift-off
device is disabled. The accessibility is checked by means of the test probe shown in
Figure 102 with a force not exceeding 5 N.
19.108 Planers with rabbeting facilities shall be provided with a guard that avoids
inadvertent contact at the sides with the blades.
NOTE Rabbeting is also known as rebating.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the following test:
The planer is set to minimum depth of cut and is positioned with the shoes resting on a flat
surface that extends beyond the planer by at least 100 mm in all directions. Any lift-off
device is disabled. The accessibility is checked by means of the test probe shown in
Figure 102 without any force.
19.109 It shall not be possible to touch the blades through the chip ejection opening.
Compliance is checked by testing all apertures for chip ejection with the test probe of
Figure 102. It shall not be possible to touch the blades in the cutting head at any angle of the
probe.
19.110 Planers shall stop within 10 s after switching off.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by measurement.
19.111 Lift-off device
19.111.1 If a lift-off device is provided to meet the requirements of 18.8 or 21.18.1.1, it
shall meet the requirements of 19.111.2 and 19.111.3, which are checked only after
completing the endurance test of 17.101.
19.111.2 If a lift-off device is provided, it shall be designed so that
– it is automatically activated, when the planer is lifted up from a horizontal surface; and
– the blade(s) do not make contact, when the planer is set at maximum depth of cut in
accordance with 8.14.2 b) 101) and placed on a horizontal surface.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
19.111.3 A lift-off device shall provide sufficient stability.
Compliance is checked by the following test:
The planer is set to maximum depth of cut in accordance with 8.14.2 b) 101) and with the
supply cord, if any, removed. The planer is then placed on a flat board of medium density
3 3
fibreboard (MDF) having a density of 650 kg/m to 850 kg/m that is inclined at an angle of
10°, such that the rear of the planer is nearest to the high side of the board and allowed to
rest freely for 10 s to 12 s. During the test, the planer is permitted to slide, however, the lift-
off device shall not collapse such that the planer blades come into contact with the board.
20 Mechanical strength
This clause of Part 1 is applicable.
21 Construction
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
21.18.1.1 Addition:
Planers whose blade(s) make contact with a flat surface when the base plate is placed on the
flat surface and without a lift-off device are regarded as tools having a risk associated with
continued locked-on operation.
NOTE In Europe (EN 62841-2-14), the above text is replaced by the following:
For planers, the switch shall not have any locking device to lock it in the “on” position.
21.18.1.2 Addition:

Annexes
The annexes of Part 1 are applicable except as follows.
Annex I
(informative)
Measurement of noise and vibration emissions
NOTE In Europe (EN 62841-2-14), Annex I is normative.
I.2 Noise test code (grade 2)
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
I.2.4 Installation and mounting conditions of the power tools during noise tests
Addition:
Planers are held and used as specified in I.2.5.
I.2.5 Operating conditions
Addition:
Planers are tested under load observing the conditions shown in Table I.101.
The temperature requirements of 5.6 are not applicable.
Table I.101 – Test conditions
Orientation
Planing along a horizontal surface of a softwood workpiece free of knots and having a
residual moisture not exceeding 14 %.
The workpiece shall have a minimum length of 600 mm, a minimum height of 90 mm and
a width B, where B is the maximum planing width of the tool minus (15 ± 2) mm.
The workpiece shall be supported on resilient material and fixed vertically by screws,
clamps, air cylinders or the like to a test bench of Figure I.1, see Figure I.101. For the
fixing, the workpiece may have recesses or the like; an example is shown in Figure I.101.
The resilient material shall be mounted so that it does not have any significant resonance
in the frequency range that can influence the test result.
To prevent absorption of airborne noise, the resilient material shall either
– not extend the contact area between workpiece and test bench; or
– be of non airborne-sound absorbing material, such as rubber.
If a parallel guide is provided, this may be used.
NOTE Examples of softwood are pine and fir.
Tool bit Blade as specified for planing softwood. The depth of cut shall be set to maximum
capacity.
Feed force As necessary to achieve a constant feed rate resulting in 10 s to 15 s planing time for one
test cycle (600 mm). Equal forces are applied to the main handle and the auxiliary
handle, if applicable, avoiding excessive gripping forces.
However, if it is not possible to plane the whole surface length within the given time,
because the planer may stall, a longer test cycle time is permitted using a feed force as
high as possible without stalling the planer.
Test cycle Planing the complete length of 600 mm at maximum depth of cut.
The measurement takes place over a length of approximately 400 mm that does not
include the ends of the workpiece.

I.3 Vibration
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
I.3.3.2 Location of measurement
Addition:
Figure I.102 shows the positions on the main handle and the auxiliary handle, if applicable.
I.3.5.3 Operating conditions
Addition:
Planers are tested under load according to the conditions shown in Table I.101.
I.3.6.2 Declaration of the vibration total value
Addition:
The vibration total value a of the handle with the highest emission and the uncertainty K shall
h
be declared.

(normative)
Battery tools and battery packs
K.1 Scope
Addition:
All clauses of this Part 2-14 apply unless otherwise specified in this annex.
K.8.14.1.101 Item b) is not applicable.
K.12.2.1 This subclause is not applicable.
K.20.5 This subclause is not applicable.
K.21.18.1.2 Addition:
Two separate and dissimilar actions shall be necessary before the motor is switched on (e.g.
a power switch which has to be pushed in before it can be moved laterally to close the
contacts to start the motor). It shall not be possible to achieve these two actions with a single
grasping motion or a straight line motion.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test.
K.21.30 This subclause is not applicable.
NOTE In Europe (EN 62841-2-14), the following additional subclause applies:
K.21.18.Z101 Isolation device
Planers with an integral battery shall be equipped with an isolation device to prevent the risk of injury from
mechanical hazards during user maintenance that
– ensures a reliable disconnection of at least one pole of the battery from the relevant load(s);
– has a reliable mechanical link between the manual control and the disconnecting element(s);
– is equipped with an unambiguous indication of the state of the disconnection device which corresponds to each
position of its manual control (actuator);
– protects against accidental reconnection.
NOTE 1 Examples of methods to achieve this disconnection include removable jumpers, removable batteries or a
electromechanical power switch with a direct mechanical link between the actuator and the contact.
NOTE 2 The risk of accidental reconnection for a power switch is addressed by the requirement of 21.18.1.2.
The other examples in Note 1 achieve this by the necessary actions for reconnection.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
