Safety of woodworking machines - Circular sawing machines - Part 11: Semi-automatic and automatic horizontal cross-cut sawing machines with one saw unit (radial arm saws)

This document deals with the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to semi-automatic and automatic horizontal cutting cross-cut sawing machines with one saw unit (radial arm saws), hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials when covered with plastic edging and/or plastic/light alloy laminates.
Any work-piece positioning equipment fitted to the machine is included in this European Standard.  
This European Standard does not apply to machines:
a)   with manual feed of the saw unit; or
b)   for cross cutting logs; or
c)   specifically designed for sawing and/or milling roof timber frames; or
d)   fitted with hydraulic braking systems.
NOTE 1   Radial arm saws with manual feed of the saw unit (the saw unit is moved by hand) are dealt with in prEN 1870-17 and prEN 61029-2-2.
For Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines this European Standard does not cover hazards related to Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC).
NOTE 2   The requirements of this European Standard apply to all machines whatever their method of control e.g. electromechanical and/or electronic.
This European Standard is primarily directed to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of publication by CEN.
NOTE 3   Machines covered by this European Standard are listed under A.1.4 of Annex IV of the Machinery Directive.

Le présent document traite de tous les phénomènes, situations et événements dangereux significatifs, tels qu’énumérés à l’Article 4, applicables aux tronçonneuses automatiques et semi-automatique, à coupe horizontale avec une unité de sciage (scies circulaires radiales) (ci-après désignées «machines»), conçues pour la coupe de bois massif, de panneaux de particules et de fibres, de contre-plaqué, ainsi que ces matériaux lorsque leurs surfaces ou leurs chants sont recouverts de matière plastique stratifiée et/ou d'alliage léger."
Tout équipement de positionnement de pièce équipant la machine est compris dans la présente norme.
!texte supprimé"
La présente Norme européenne ne s'applique pas aux machines :
a)   à avance manuelle de l'unité de sciage ; ou
b)   conçues pour le tronçonnage de grumes ; ou
c)   conçues spécifiquement pour le sciage et/ou le fraisage des charpentes de toitures ; ou
d)   équipées de systèmes de freinage hydrauliques.
NOTE 1   Les scies circulaires radiales avec avance manuelle de l'unité de sciage (l’unité de sciage est déplacée à la main) sont traitées dans le prEN 1870-17 et dans le prEN 61029-2-2.
Pour les machines à commande numérique par ordinateur (CNC), la présente Norme européenne ne traite pas les phénomènes dangereux liés à la comptabilité électromagnétique (CEM).
NOTE 2   Les exigences de la présente norme s’appliquent à toutes les machines quelle que soit leur méthode de commande, par exemple : électromécanique et/ou électronique.
La présente Norme européenne est applicable avant tout aux machines fabriquées après la date de publication de la présente Norme européenne.
NOTE 3   Les machines couvertes par cette Norme européenne sont énumérées à l’Annexe IV, paragraphe A.1.4 de la Directive Machines.
