Replace the first paragraph with the following:
"This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to stationary and displaceable band sawing machines with either manual or automatic loading and/or unloading, 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.".
Delete the second paragraph.
Delete the first sentence of the third paragraph.
Replace in the fourth paragraph the first indent with:
"hand held motor-operated electric tools or any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e. bench mounting;".
Add a note: "NOTE 1   Hand-held motor operated electric tools are covered by the requirements of
EN 60745-1:2006 together with EN 60745-2-20:2003.".
Replace in the fourth paragraph the second indent with the following:
"transportable machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which are intended to carry out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand.".
Add a note: "NOTE 2   Transportable electrically driven machines are covered by the requirements of EN 61029-1:2000 together with EN 61029-2-5:2002.".

This document specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to stationary and displaceable band sawing machines with either manual or automatic loading and/or unloading, 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 does not cover the hazards related to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) as required by the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC of 03-05-89.
This European Standard does not apply to:
-   hand held motor-operated electric tools or any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e. bench mounting;
NOTE 1   Hand-held motor operated electric tools are covered by the requirements of
EN 60745-1:2006 together with EN 60745-2-20:2003.
-   transportable machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which are intended to carry out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand.
NOTE 2   Transportable electrically driven machines are covered by the requirements of EN 61029-1:2000 together with EN 61029-2-5:2002.
This European Standard does not cover the hazards arising from machining processes (e.g. milling and sawing) of related to associated machines e.g. canters and circular saws.
This European Standard is primarily directed at machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.

This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risk on band sawing machines with either manual or automatic loading and/or unloading, 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. Electrically driven machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which are intended to carry out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand, excluded by the scope of this European standard, are covered by the  requirements of EN 61029-1 : 1995 and prEN 61029-2-5. This European Standard covers all the hazards relevant to these machines as stated in Clause 4.  This European Standard does not cover the hazards related to Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) as required by the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC of 03-05-89.  This European Standard does not apply to:   - hand held woodworking machines or any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e. bench mounting; - machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which are intended to carry out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand.   This European Standard does not cover the hazards arising from machining processes (e.g. milling and sawing) of related to associated machines e.g. canters and circular saws.  This European Standard is primarily directed at machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this standard.
