Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 19432 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 195, Building construction machinery and
equipment.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 19432:2006), which has been technically
revised, primarily concerning:
additional requirement for starting device (4.4);
throttle trigger (4.6);
unintentional movement (4.6.2);
throttle lock (4.6.3);
additional requirements for tank strength (4.10);
additional requirements for transmission cover (4.12);
clarification of the parts to be recognized as hot parts, including temperature limits (4.13.1);
additional requirement for electromagnetic immunity;
added requirement for declaration of uncertainties to noise and vibration values (5.1.1, B.8 and C.10);
modifications in required markings (5.2) and warnings (5.3) including durability requirements for labels;
modified calculation of values for equivalent sound power, sound pressure and hand vibration (Annexes B
and C);
stricter specification for accelerometer mounting (C.4.3) and position (C.5);
inclusion of a simulated feeding force to the vibration test procedure (C.8);
definition of machine positions (Annex D);

machines — Safety requirements
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies safety requirements, and measures for their verification, for the design
and construction of portable, hand-held, internal combustion engine-driven, cut-off machines, intended to be
used by a single operator in the cutting of construction materials, such as asphalt, concrete, stone and metal.
It is applicable only to those machines designed purposely for use with a rotating, bonded-abrasive and/or
super-abrasive (diamond) cut-off wheel having a maximum outer diameter of 430 mm, centre-mounted on,
and driven by, a spindle shaft, where the top of the wheel rotates away from the operator (see Figure 1).
This International Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events
significant to these machines when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are
reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer. (See Annex F for a list of significant hazards.)
This International Standard specifies methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from their use,
as well as the type of information on safe working practices to be provided with the machines.
Cut-off wheel specifications are not considered in this International Standard; for such specifications, see, for
1 12 15
example, ISO 603-7 , ISO 13942 and ISO 22917 .
This International Standard is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication.

4.1 General
Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. In addition,
the machine shall be designed according to the principles of ISO 12100 for relevant but not significant hazards
which are not dealt with by this International Standard.
The safe running of cut-off machines depends on both the safety requirements according to this clause and
the safe working conditions associated with the use of adequate personal protection equipment (PPE), such
as gloves, leg protection, boots, eye, hearing and head protection equipment, and safe working procedures
(see 5.1).
Cut-off machines shall also be marked according to 5.2 and carry warnings according to 5.3.
The instruction handbook to be provided with the machines shall comply with 5.1.
For protection from contact with moving parts, except the cut-off wheel, any opening shall have a safety
distance to the moving part that meets the requirements of ISO 13857:2008, 4.2.4.1 and 4.2.4.3.
When the machine is placed in its normal resting position (see Figure 1) on a flat horizontal surface, the cut-off
wheel or the guard shall not touch the horizontal plane and the machine shall remain stable.
Figure 1 — Example of cut-off machine placed in a normal position on a flat surface
A method of verification is established for each requirement.

SIST EN ISO 19432:2012
ISO 19432:2012(E)
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS — Some of the tests specified in this International Standard involve
processes that could lead to a hazardous situation. Any person performing tests in accordance with
this International Standard should be appropriately trained in the type of work to be carried out. All
national regulatory conditions and health and safety requirements must be followed.
4.2 Handles
4.2.1 Requirements
Cut-off machines shall have a handle for each hand. These handles shall be designed so that they
can be fully gripped by an operator when wearing protective gloves,
provide the necessary sureness of grip by their shaping and surface, and
conform to the dimensions and clearances, except distances B and C, given in ISO 7914:2002, Table 1,
for tree work service.
Cut-off machines with a system to isolate the machine vibration from the handles shall be designed so that the
operator is able to stop the engine in a controlled manner with the engine-stopping device, even in the event
of partial or full failure of the vibration isolators.
4.2.2 Verification
Dimensions shall be verified by measurements. The ability to control the machine if a failure occurs in the
vibration isolators shall be verified by inspection of the design and function test.
4.3 Spindle speed
4.3.1 Requirement
Engine speed shall be limited so that it is not possible to accelerate the engine so that the maximum spindle
speed (see 5.1) is exceeded.
4.3.2 Verification
The spindle speed shall be measured at the spindle with fully open throttle and no load. The maximum
allowed inaccuracy is 5 r/min.
NOTE Simple calculations using the engine speed and the transmission ratio cannot be permitted due to the potential
for slippage in the energy transmission from the engine to the shaft.
4.4 Engine-starting device
4.4.1 Requirements
The engine-starting device shall be an electric starter or a manual starter. The actuator for the manual starter
shall be permanently attached to the machine.
The cut-off machine with a manual starter shall have a recoil device for the rope.
To activate the electrical starting device, two or more separate and dissimilar actions shall be required. This
also applies to manual starting devices with stored energy.
