EN 792-8:2001+A1:2008

Hand-held non-electric power tools - Safety requirements - Part 8: Sanders and polishers

EN 792 applies to hand-held non-electric power tools driven by rotary or linear motors, powered by compressed air or 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 of EN 792 applies to hand-held non electric power tools intended for polishing and sanding with all types of movement e.g. rotary, orbital and reciprocating, using coated abrasive products and bonnets of various soft materials and endless belts.
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.
Power tools covered by this part of the standard:
-   belt sanders,
-   orbital sanders,
-   polishers,
-   random orbital sanders,
-   rotary sanders,
-   straight line sanders.
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   At the date of publication no sanders and polishers driven by internal combustion engines are known.

Handgehaltene nicht-elektrisch betriebene Maschinen - Sicherheitsanforderungen - Teil 8: Schleifmaschinen für Schleifblätter und Polierer

Machines portatives à moteur non électrique - Prescriptions de sécurité - Partie 8: Polisseuses-lustreuses et ponceuses

L'EN 792 s'applique aux machines portatives non électriques entraînées par des moteurs rotatifs ou linéaires,
alimentés par air comprimé, fluide hydraulique et prévues pour être utilisées 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 de l'EN 792, s'applique aux machines portatives non électriques utilisées pour le polissage-lustrage et le
ponçage quelque soit le mouvement mis en oeuvre (rotatif, orbital ou alternatif) à l'aide de papier abrasif appliqué, de
tampons de polissage dans divers matériaux doux, et de bandes sans fin.
Cette partie énumère les risques 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.
La présente norme couvre les types de machines portatives suivantes :
- ponceuses à ruban ;
- ponceuses orbitales ;
- polisseuses-lustreuses ;
- ponceuses orbitales spéciales ;
- ponceuses rotatives ;
- ponceuses alternatives ;
Les modifications et prescriptions spécifiques en vue d'un montage d'une machine portative sur un support ne sont
pas traitées par cette partie.
NOTE À la date de publication, il n'y a pas de machine mue par un moteur à combustion interne connue.
