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 die grinders driven by internal combustion engines are known.
Handgehaltene nicht-elektrisch betriebene Maschinen - Sicherheitsanforderungen - Teil 9: Schleifmaschinen für Schleifstifte
Die Norm EN 792-9 gilt für handgehaltene nicht-elektrisch betriebene Maschinen, die durch Motore mit drehender oder linearer Bewegung angetrieben werden, wobei die Energie aus Druckluft oder über Hydraulik-flüssigkeit bezogen werden kann. Die Maschinen sind dazu bestimmt, durch eine Person verwendet und
- mit einer oder beiden Händen gehalten,
- in einer Halterung, z. B. Aufhängevorrichtung, aufgenommen
zu werden.
Dieser Teil der EN 792-9 gilt für handgehaltene nicht-elektrisch betriebene Maschinen, die mit Spannzangen bestückt sind und zum Schleifen sowie für die Oberflächenbearbeitung und zum Entgraten verwendet werden mittels Kleinschleifkörpern, Engratwerkzeugen, Feilen und kleinen Drahtbürsten, die an Schäften befestigt sind. Dieser Teil listet die wesentlichen, von diesen Maschinen ausgehenden Gefährdungen auf und beschreibt die besonderen Sicherheitsanforderungen für die verschiedenen Sicherheitsaspekte während ihrer vorhersehbaren Lebensdauer.
ANMERKUNG 1 Schleifmaschinen ohne Spannzangen für die Verwendung von Kleinschleifkörpern mit Gewinde-aufnahme werden in EN 792-7 behandelt.

Introduction
This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070:1998.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this standard.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard.
EN 792 consists of a number of independent parts for individual types of hand-held non-electric power tools.
Other european 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.
1 Scope
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;

This part of EN 792 applies to hand-held, non-electric power tools fitted with collets and used for grinding and
surface finishing and chamfering using mounted points, burrs and files and small wire brushes mounted on
shafts. 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.
NOTE Grinders without collets for use with cones and plugs with threaded inserts are covered by EN 792-7.
Power tools covered by this part of the standard:
angle die grinders;
reciprocating files;
rotary files;
straight die grinders.
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 die grinders driven by internal combustion engines are known.
