The work-piece is fed through the processing units by an integrated feed consisting of rollers or a chain.
This European Standard covers the hazards relevant to these machines as stated in clause 4.
This European Standard does not apply to transportable machines.
This European Standard does not deal with any hazards relating to:
a) mechanical loading and/ or unloading of the work-piece; or
b) a machine being used in combination with any other machine (as part of a line); or
c) use of laser.
For Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines this European Standard does not cover hazards related to Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC).
NOTE 1   The requirements of this European Standard apply to all machines whatever their method of control e.g. electromechanical and/or electronic.
This European Standard is primarily directed to machines which are manufactured after the date of publication by CEN.
NOTE 2   Single end tenoning machines with sliding table are dealt with in EN 1218-1:1999. Double end tenoning and/or profiling machines fed by chain or chains are dealt with in EN 1218-2. Single end tenoning machines where the tenon is produced only by means of saw-blades are dealt with in EN 1218-3.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risks on single end tenoning machines with sliding table, hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials where they are covered with plastic laminate or edgings.  This European Standard covers all the hazards relevant to this machine. These  hazards are listed in [clause] 4. This European standard does not cover the hazards related to Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) as stated in the EMC directive 89/336 EEC dated 03.05.89.  This standard does not apply to :  a) machines where the tenon is produced only by means of saw blades;  b) machines where the design speed of any tool spindle exceeds 6000 min-1;  c) machines where the average sliding table feed speed in either direction exceeds 25 m min-1 + 5%;  d) combined machines used for tenoning (see EN 940 : 1997);  e) tenoning attachments on a vertical spindle moulding machine (see EN 848-1 : 1997).  NOTE : Single and double end tenoning machines fed by chain or chains are dealt with in prEN 1218-2. Single end tenoning machines where the tenon is produced only by means of saw blades are dealt with in prEN 1218-3.  This European Standard is primarily applicable to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of his standard.
