- a suspension, e.g. a balancer.
This part, EN 792-10, applies to hand-held non electric compression power tools with yoke, e.g. for squeeze riveting, punching, shaping, pressing and cutting of metal, plastics or other materials.
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, all of them with a yoke, covered by this part of the standard:
- crimping tools,
- collar splitters,
- power tools for metal forming (edge formers, folding tools, swagers),
- nut splitter heads,
- presses,
- punches,
- squeeze riveters,
- cutting power tools with parallel knives.

Foreword
This document (EN 792-10:2000+A1:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 255 "Hand-
held, non-electric power tools - Safety", the secretariat of which is held by SIS.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2009 and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at
the latest by December 2009.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
!For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annexes ZA and ZB, which are integral parts of this
document."
This document includes Amendment 1, approved by CEN on 2008-07-26.
This document supersedes EN 792-10:2000.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the text by tags ! ".
The standard has been created in close co-operation with CENELEC/TC 61F with the aim of achieving
requirements for mechanical safety in the EN 50144 series, which are similar for hand-held electric and non-
electric power tools.
The annexes to this part of the standard are:
Annex A (informative) Examples of power tools covered by this part

Introduction
This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070.
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.
The European Standard, EN 792, consists of a number of independent parts for individual types of hand-held
non-electric power tools.
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.
