(Main)Hand-held non-electric power tools - Safety requirements - Part 12: Small circular, small oscillating and reciprocating saws
Hand-held non-electric power tools - Safety requirements - Part 12: Small circular, small oscillating and reciprocating saws
The standard EN 792 applies to hand-held non-electric power tools driven by rotary or linear motors, powered by compressed air, hydraulic fluid and intended to be used by one operator and supported by:
- the operator's hand or hands,
- a suspension, e.g. a balancer.
This part, EN 792-12, applies to hand-held non-electric small circular and small oscillating and reciprocating power tools for sawing. This part lists the significant hazards caused by such power tools and specifies safety requirements valid for different aspects of safety during their foreseeable lifetime and subsequent disposal.
Power tools covered by this part of the standard:
- circular saws, circular knives,
- jig saws,
- oscillating saws, oscillating knives (windshield knives),
- power hack saws,
- reciprocating saws.
This part of the standard applies to:
- circular saws with saw blades with a diameter of 65 mm or less,
- circular saws with diamond cutting-off wheels with diameters of 65 mm or less and a maximum cutting depth of 10 mm,
- oscillating saws having a saw blade with a radius of 50 mm or less or a diamond cutting-off blade with a radius of 100 mm or less.
NOTE 1 For circular saws having saw blades exceeding 65 mm see requirements for mechanical safety of
EN 50144-2-5 and EN 50144-2-10. For circular saws with diamond cutting-off wheels exceeding 65 mm see part 7 of this series
Special requirements and modifications on a hand-held power tool for the purpose of mounting it in a fixture are not covered by this part.
NOTE 2 At the date of publication no power saws driven by internal combustion engines are known.
Handgehaltene nicht-elektrisch betriebene Maschinen - Sicherheitsanforderungen - Teil 12: Kleine Kreis-, oszillierende und Stichsägemaschinen
Machines portatives à moteur non électrique - Prescriptions de sécurité - Partie 12: Petites scies circulaires et petites scies oscillantes et alternatives
La norme EN 792 s'applique aux machines portatives non électriques entraînées par des moteurs rotatifs ou linéaires, alimentés par air comprimé, fluide hydraulique durant l’utilisation normale par un seul opérateur et portée :
par la (ou les) main(s) de l'opérateur,
en suspension, par exemple à l'aide d'un équilibreur.
Cette partie, EN 792-12, s'applique aux petites machines portatives non électriques alternatives, rotatives et oscillantes utilisées pour scier. Elle énumère les phénomènes dangereux significatifs provoqués par de telles machines portatives et spécifie les prescriptions de sécurité relatives aux différents aspects de sécurité pouvant être rencontrés pendant leur durée de vie.
Machines portatives couvertes par la présente norme :
scies circulaires, couteaux circulaires ;
scies sauteuses ;
scies oscillantes, couteaux oscillants (couteaux à pare-brise) ;
scies alternatives à métaux ;
scies alternatives.
Elle s'applique
aux scies circulaires avec lames de diamètre de 65 mm ou moins,
aux machines portatives munies de disques diamant de tronçonnage de diamètre de 65 mm ou moins et avec une profondeur de découpe de 10 mm,
aux scies oscillantes ayant une lame avec un rayon de 50 mm ou moins ou une lame diamant de tronçonnage avec un rayon de 100 mm ou moins.
NOTE 1 Pour les scies circulaires ayant une lame excédant 65 mm, voir les prescriptions de sécurité mécanique de l'EN 50144 partie 2-5 et partie 2-10. Pour les scies circulaires avec disques diamant de tronçonnage excédant 65 mm, voir l'EN 792-7.
Les modifications et prescriptions spécifiques en vue du montage d'une machine portative sur un support ne sont pas traitées par cette partie.
NOTE 2 À la date de publication il n'y a pas de machine mue par un moteur à combustion interne connue.

Other EN standards deal with safety rules for hand-held power tools used in e. g. the following fields: agriculture and forestry such as chain saws, hedge-trimmers, brush cutters, grass trimmers; construction and building such as cutting-off power tools, concrete vibrators; food industry, such as fowl secateurs, sheep shears. Endeavours have been made to achieve co-ordination with the relevant Technical Committees so that the safety requirements are compatible. This standard is divided in the following parts: Part 1 - Assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners (former part 14) Part 2 - Cutting-off and crimping power tools (former part 15) Part 3 - Drills and tappers Part 4 - Non rotary percussive power tools Part 5 - Rotary, percussive power drills Part 6 - Assembly power tools for threaded fasteners Part 7 - Grinders Part 8 - Sanders and polishers Part 9 - Die grinders
Part 10 - Compression power tools Part 11 - Nibblers and shears Part 12 - Small circular, small oscillating and reciprocating saws
Part 13 - Fastener driving tools Certain parts of EN 792 cover hand-held non-electric power tools, driven by internal combustion engines powered by gaseous or liquid fuel. In these parts, the safety aspects relating to internal combustion engines are found in a normative annex. The parts are type C standards and refer to pertinent European Standards of type A and B where such standards are applicable. SIST EN 792-12:2000+A1:2008
