1 Modification to Clause 1, “Scope”
Add the following to the existing Clause 1:
“This document covers all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant for
machines covered by this document.
NOTE Z101 Essential requirements not mentioned in Table ZZ.1 are deemed to be not applicable, because the
corresponding hazards are either not relevant for machines covered by this document or do not require specific action
by the designer.”
2 Modification to Clause 19, “Mechanical hazards”
Replace the existing Subclause 19.102.2.1 with the following:
“19.102.2.1  The front handle shall be located so that the distance from the nearest cutting edge of the
cutter blade to the rear side of any handle, except for Category 1, is not less than 120 mm as shown in
Figure 108 a) and Figure 108 b).
For Category 1, the shortest distance between the front of the handle grip and the nearest blade tooth
shall be at least 120 mm (see Figure 111). The distances shall be measured along the shortest path from
the front of the handle grip to the nearest cutting edge of the cutter blade.
For all categories in Table 101, if there is a front hand barrier, then the x and x distances in Figure 108 a)
1 2
and Figure 108 b) shall be measured along the shortest path from the backside of the handle, via the edge
of the front hand barrier, to the nearest cutting edge of the cutter blade. The front hand barrier shall not
have any openings with a minor dimension larger than 10 mm.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by measurement.”
3 Replacement of the Annex ZA, “Normative references to international
publications with their corresponding European publications”
Replace the existing Annex ZA with the following:
“
