European foreword
This document [EN 50636-2-107:2015/A2:2020] has been prepared by CLC/TC 116 “Safety of motor-
operated electric tools”.
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has (dop) 2020-09-27
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national (dow) 2022-09-27
standards conflicting with this document
have to be withdrawn
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This amendment was developed to implement an extra test with a kneeling child foot test probe.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission
and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For the relationship with EU Directive(s) see informative Annex ZZ, which is an integral part of this
document.
1 Modification to Clause 1, "Scope"
Add the following to the existing Clause 1:
"This standard covers all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events relevant for tools
covered by this standard.
NOTE 101 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 standard or do not require specific action by the designer.".
2 Modification to Clause 2, "Normative references"
Add the following normative reference:
"EN ISO 8295:2004, Plastics - Film and sheeting - Determination of the coefficients of friction
(ISO 8295:1995)".
3 Modification to 20.102.4.1, "Inadvertent foot access to the cutting means"
Replace the first four paragraphs with the following:
“20.102.4.1.1 General
Inadvertent access to the cutting means by the feet during operation shall be prevented, so far as
reasonably practicable by the cutting means enclosure.
Compliance is checked by the tests of 20.102.4.1.2, 20.102.4.1.3 and 20.102.4.1.4.
The tests are made with the cutting means in the most unfavourable cutting position. If the cutting
means path height is different at different cutting means speeds, the test is conducted so as to include
the extremes of cutting means height.”.
Replace the existing subclause 20.102.4.1.1 with the following:
"20.102.4.1.2 Adult foot probe test
The machine shall be placed on a hard, flat surface. The guards shall be in the normal operating position
on the cutting means enclosure and the machine support members in contact with the supporting
surface. Components of machines, such as wheels and frames, are where relevant considered as part of
the cutting means enclosure for the purpose of these tests. The tests are conducted under static
conditions.”
The foot probe of Figure 102 shall be inserted towards the cutting means around the machine’s external
enclosure. The base of the probe is held horizontally at any height and then inclined up to 15° forward or
backward from the horizontal (see Figure 102). The probe is applied around the entire machine as
described in Figure 102 until a horizontal force of 20 N maximum is reached, or until the machine’s
enclosure lifts or moves from the original position, or until contact is made with the cutting means path,
whichever occurs first.
The test probe shall not enter the path of the cutting means assembly."
Replace the existing subclause 20.102.4.1.2 with the following:
"20.102.4.1.3 Foot probe test for standing child
The machine shall be placed on a hard, flat surface. The guards shall be in the normal operating position
on the cutting means enclosure and the machine support members in contact with the supporting
surface. Components of machines, such as wheels and frames, are where relevant considered as part of
the cutting means enclosure for the purpose of these tests. The tests are conducted under static
conditions.
The foot probe of Figure 107 shall be inserted towards the cutting means around the machine’s external
enclosure. The base of the probe is held horizontally at any height and then inclined up to 15° forward or
backward from the horizontal (see Figure 102). The probe is applied around the entire machine as
described in Figure 102 until a horizontal force of 20 N maximum is reached, or until the machine’s
enclosure lifts or moves from the original position, or until contact is made with the cutting means path,
whichever occurs first.
The test probe shall not enter the path of the cutting means assembly."
