EN 61029-2-11:2009 - 2 - Foreword The text of the International Standard IEC 61029-2-11:2001, prepared by SC 61F (transformed into IEC TC 116, Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools), together with the common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 116, former TC 61F, Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, was submitted to the Unique Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61029-2-11 on 2009-06-01. This European Standard supersedes EN 61029-2-11:2003. This revised version has been prepared to take into account the comments received from the MD consultant and the authority of the Netherlands. The following dates were fixed: – latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement
(dop) 2010-06-01 – latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn
(dow) 2012-06-01 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. This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of EC Directives 98/37/EC (amended by Directive 98/79/EC) and 2006/42/EC. See Annexes ZZA and ZZB. Compliance with the relevant clauses of Part 1 together with a relevant Part 2 of this European Standard provides one means of confirming with the specified essential requirements of the Directive. The requirements defined in EN 1050 are also dealt with in this European Standard. The standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2. For noise and vibration this European Standard covers the requirements for their measurement, the provisions 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 art. Warning: Other requirements arising from other European Directives can be applicable to the products falling within the scope of this European Standard. CEN has prepared standards for industrial machines, which may extend to transportable machines. Although CEN and CENELEC have where appropriate used common solutions to provide uniform levels of protection, persons using this European Standard should check the scope of both this and CEN standards to ensure that a correct standard is used.

- 3 - EN 61029-2-11:2009 This Part 2-11 is to be used in conjunction with EN 61029-1:2009. This Part 2-11 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 61029-1, so as to convert it into the European Standard: “Particular requirements for combined mitre and bench saws”. Where a particular subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-11, that subclause applies as far as reasonable. Where this Part 2-11 states "addition" "modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly. Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101. Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables and figures which are additional to those in IEC 61029-2-11 are prefixed "Z". 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. SIST EN 61029-2-11:2009

The guarding system shall comply with the requirements of 18.1.101, 18.1.102 and 18.1.103. 18.1.101 Blade guards 18.1.101.1 Mitre sawing mode Combined mitre and bench saws shall be provided with a combination of fixed and self-closing guards (see Figure Z104). The areas 1 and 2 of the machine are as shown in Figure Z104. The machine shall have a fixed guard to guard the area 1. This guard shall, as a minimum, cover the periphery of the saw blade within the area 1 and both sides of the saw blade within area 1 at least down to the root of the teeth, irrespective of the position of the saw unit. When the flange / clamping nut is not circular it shall be covered by a fixed guard. The top guard of bench saw mode shall be lockable in the mitre saw mode, or the bench saw table shall completely protect the blade when the top table is adjusted in the highest position (type “A” saw). In the rest position the machine shall have a combination of fixed and self-closing guards which guard the area 2. These guards shall, as a minimum, cover the periphery of the saw blade within the area 2 and both sides of the saw blade within area 2 at least down to the root of the teeth. See Figure Z104 for illustration. The guard shall comply with this requirement at any mitre and bevel position which is possible. The self-closing saw guard shall comply with either a) or b): a) The guard shall be of a U-shaped construction (see Figure Z101a), spring-loaded and/or connected by positive mode to the saw unit. The guard shall enclose the teeth of the blade. “Positive mode” means that the opening and closing of the guard is related to the corresponding up and down movement of the saw unit. SIST EN 61029-2-11:2009



EN 61029-2-11:2009 - 12 - Compliance is checked by inspection and the following test. The saw unit in the rest position at 90° to the table is subjected to a load of 100 N vertically downwards at the highest point of the operating handle. When applying the test probe of Figure Z108 in all positions, it shall not be possible to touch the teeth of the blade, taking into account any free movement of the guard. After manually actuating the release device the guard shall open either
– by further pressing the release device for an angle of maximum 60° to a perpendicular line through the spindle axis, see Figure Z105, or – by moving the saw unit down to come into contact with the work piece. Compliance is checked by inspection and by manual test. b) The guard shall be of an open guard construction (see Figure Z101b) which covers both sides of the saw blade teeth as shown in Figure Z106 and which opens when it makes contact with the work piece or the fence. The guard shall lie on the work piece or on the fence during cutting to afford maximum protection.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by measurement. The guard shall be locked in all rest positions. Compliance is checked by inspection and the following test. The saw unit in the rest position at 90° to the table is subjected to a load of 100 N vertically downwards at the highest point of the operating handle. The guard shall not give access to saw blade teeth when applying the test probe of Figure Z108. It shall be possible for an operator to unlock the guard without releasing the grip on the handle. Compliance is checked by manual test. 18.1.101.2 In cutting mode the front of the saw blade shall be guarded against inadvertent contact. Compliance is checked while the saw unit is at its lowest vertical position, its maximum extended horizontal position and no work piece present. A test rod with 12 mm diameter and 50 mm length is applied at all bevel and mitre angles. The longitudinal axis of the test probe shall be parallel to the table surface and be perpendicular to the cutting line. The test probe shall be equally shared about the cutting line. When the test probe is moved towards the saw blade, it shall not be able to touch its toothed rim. 18.1.101.3 For saws in mitre mode provided with
