Overview
SIST EN 62841-2-11:2016/A1:2020 establishes the updated safety requirements for electric motor-operated hand-held reciprocating saws, including both portable and transportable tools, as well as certain machinery for lawn and garden use. This standard is aligned with IEC 62841-2-11:2015/A1:2018 and serves as a harmonized approach to ensure operator safety in compliance with the European Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC). The document addresses particular protective measures for both professional and consumer hand-held reciprocating saws, such as jigsaws and sabre saws, commonly used in construction, woodworking, and gardening applications.
Key Topics
Safety Requirements:
- Focuses on electric hazards, including the risk of electric shock from accidental contact with live wiring during operation.
- Specifies the need for insulated gripping surfaces and appropriate user warnings to mitigate the risk of electrical injury.
- Mandates secure workpiece support to prevent tool slippage and loss of control, reducing mechanical and user hazards.
Mechanical Protection:
- Requires the integration of physical barriers between grip zones and saw blades to prevent accidental contact with the teeth, especially when grip zones are adjacent to the cutting area.
- Details the minimum dimensions and positions for these barriers to enhance user protection without impacting usability.
- Recognizes that some tools may use auxiliary handles instead of barriers to achieve equivalent safety performance.
Construction and Durability:
- Stresses tool resistance against inadvertent access to live parts, the likelihood of sawing into hidden wiring or cords, and mechanical strength requirements.
- Applies to both corded and battery-powered reciprocating saws, emphasizing battery pack safety for cordless models.
Applications
Industrial and Professional Use:
- Widely applicable for hand-held power saws used on construction sites, in workshops, and by maintenance teams.
- Provides manufacturers and quality managers with a benchmark for product design, certification, and CE marking under relevant EU directives.
Consumer and Gardening Tools:
- Ensures safety in consumer-grade reciprocating saws used in landscaping tasks, DIY, and home maintenance.
- Specifies requirements for saws designed for cutting wood, plastics, and metals, contributing to safe handling and minimizing injury risks.
Certification and Compliance:
- Supports presumption of conformity with the EU Machinery Directive when the requirements are met, facilitating market access within the European Economic Area.
- Guides testing organizations and market surveillance authorities in verifying product safety.
