Safety of woodworking machines - Circular sawing machines - Part 5: Circular sawbenches/up-cutting cross-cut sawing machines

This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or the measures to remove the hazards and limit the risk on circular sawbenches/up-cutting cross-cut sawing machines, hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials where they are covered with plastic edging and/or plastic/light alloy laminates.
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 is intended to carry out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand.
This European Standard covers the hazards relevant to these machines as stated in clause 4.
For Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines this European Standard does not cover hazards related to Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC).
This European Standard is primarily directed at machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of this European Standard.
