CLC publishes EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 for the safety of electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery. EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 gives particular safety requirements for transportable table masonry saws used to cut tile, bricks, stone, concrete block or similar material. It is the part you use together with the general requirements in IEC 62841-1 when you need a standard for this saw category.

What does EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 specify?

EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 applies to transportable type 1, type 2 and type 4 table masonry saws, with limits on the diamond cutting wheel size and construction. It sets the safety rules for these saws and defines where the scope stops, so users can tell whether a machine belongs in this part or in another standard.

The scope covers:

• type 1 and type 2 saws with diamond cutting wheels up to 600 mm diameter, with peripheral gaps, if any, not exceeding 10 mm and no positive rake angle
• type 4 saws intended only for continuous rim diamond cutting wheels up to 260 mm diameter
• cutting of masonry-type materials such as tile, bricks, stone and concrete block

The scope excludes:

• tools equipped with bonded abrasive wheels
• transportable cut-off machines, which are covered by IEC 62841-3-10
• type-3 cutting off machines in accordance with EN 12418:2021

EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 is organized as a particular standard that supplements or modifies IEC 62841-1:2014. Its main body follows the familiar structure of Clauses 1 to 28, with annexes for noise and vibration, battery tools and product safety labels.

Annex	What it covers
Annex I	Measurement of noise and vibration emissions
Annex K	Battery tools and battery packs
Annex AA	Product safety labels

What are the key requirements of EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026?

EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 focuses on marking, guarding, moisture safety, mechanical design and operating instructions. The most important requirements are the ones that control wheel compatibility, prevent contact with moving parts, and reduce the risk of shock, kickback and unintended restart.

Identification, markings and instructions

Clause 8 adds markings for rated no-load speed and rated capacity. In practice, this tells the user which wheel size and operating speed the tool is designed for, which is important when selecting replacement wheels.

Clause 8 also adds safety warnings and rotation marking:

• a warning to always wear eye protection
• for type 4 saws, a warning to use only continuous rim diamond cutting-off wheels
• a visible and indelible arrow showing spindle rotation direction

These markings matter because the saw can only be used safely with the right wheel type and orientation.

The instruction requirements in Clause 8.14.1.101 and 8.14.2 add practical safety information for use. EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 requires instructions on supported workpieces, wheel guard use, permitted wheel types, permitted materials, extension-cord use and, for wet saws, correct use of the liquid system. For type 1 and type 2 saws, the instructions also cover the permitted construction of segmented diamond cutting wheels, including the segment gap limit and rake-angle direction.

Guarding and mechanical layout

Clause 19 strengthens the mechanical safety requirements for the saws. For type 1 and type 2 saws, the wheel guard has to cover the upper part of the wheel and the fixing device, and it has to stay attached when opened or removed. This helps prevent contact and contains fragments, dust and water spray.

Type 4 saws need a debris deflector that reduces discharge toward the operator and can be adjusted to the workpiece thickness. Type 4 saws also have to place the wheel mounting means below the work table. In practice, these provisions shape the whole machine layout so the exposed cutting area is controlled.

Clause 19 also addresses flanges and flange strength. The flanges have dimensional and strength requirements, and their strength is checked with a disc and torque test. This matters because weak clamping parts can let the wheel loosen or distort during use.

Moisture and electrical safety

Clause 14 adds a moisture test with defined operating positions and leakage-current limits. That is important for saws used with water, because the combination of water and electricity creates shock risk.

Clause 14.4 removes one general moisture test for tools with a liquid system that uses water or a water-based liquid from an integral supply. For wet saws, Clause 21.105 requires a permanently marked water fill line when the diamond cutting wheel runs in a water bath. The instructions also have to tell the user not to overfill the bath and to keep electrical connections dry and off the ground.

Construction features that prevent misuse

Clause 21 adds several design controls:

• type 1 and type 2 saws must not automatically restart after voltage recovery
• type 1 saws need a material stop, and type 4 saws need a fence
• the arbor rotation direction is specified
• the wheel retaining arrangement must prevent the wheel from coming loose
• type 1 and type 2 saws must not accept wheels at or above 105% of rated capacity
• type 1 saws need a lockable cutting-head position and a guiding device for the work table
• type 4 saws need the workpiece orientation controlled by a fence

For the user, these requirements reduce the chance of wrong wheel fitting, unstable feed, unintended restart and wheel loosening.

Performance under fault and abnormal operation

Clause 18 replaces Table 4 with required performance levels for safety-related control functions. These include preventing unwanted switch-on, ensuring switch-off, preventing overspeed above 150% of rated no-load speed, and preventing self-resetting where required. In practice, this is the part that turns safety functions into testable design targets.

Clause 23 also requires non-self-resetting protection devices or circuits when a power switch can be locked on. That avoids the saw restarting by itself after a trip or fault recovery.

Supply cords and wet-saw pumping

Clause 24 sets the minimum cord constructions for different saw types. Type 4 saws have a different cord requirement from the other saw types, and the standard also points to regional cord conditions in Europe, the United States of America and Canada.

Clause 23.1.101 requires a pump used to flush the wheel on wet saws above safety extra-low voltage to comply with IEC 60335-2-41:2024. This matters when the liquid system includes an electrical pump rather than a purely manual or passive arrangement.

What terms does EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 define?

• cutting head - the part of the tool where the diamond cutting wheel is mounted.
• diamond cutting wheel - a metal wheel with abrasives located on the periphery.
• flange - a collar, disc or plate that supports and clamps the wheel.
• rated capacity - the maximum intended diameter of the rotating accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
• table masonry saw - a transportable tool equipped with a diamond cutting wheel for cutting masonry-type material.
• type 1 table masonry saw - a saw with a movable work table and an adjustable cutting head.
• type 2 table masonry saw - a saw with a horizontally movable cutting head and a fixed work table.
• type 4 table masonry saw - a saw with a fixed work table and a fixed cutting head.

Who uses EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026?

EN IEC 62841-3-17:2026 is used by manufacturers of transportable masonry saws, design engineers, test laboratories and certification bodies. It is also relevant to quality managers, safety engineers and buyers who need to check whether a saw design, wheel system, guard arrangement and instruction set match the required safety approach.

The standard is particularly relevant in tool manufacturing and in construction-related applications where tile, brick, stone and concrete block are cut. It gives these users a common basis for design review, type testing, marking checks and safety documentation.

64 FOREWORD
65 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
66 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
67 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
68 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
69 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
70 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
71 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
72 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
73 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
74 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
75 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
76 interested IEC National Committees.
77 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
78 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of
79 IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
80 misinterpretation by any end user.
81 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
82 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
83 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
84 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
85 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
86 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
87 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
88 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
89 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
90 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
91 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other
92 IEC Publications.
93 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
94 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
95 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
96 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

266 8.14.1.101 Safety instructions for table masonry saws
267 a) Support the workpiece with the work table. Cutting unsupported workpieces may result
268 in loss of control and personal injury.
269 b) Always use the wheel guard during operation. The wheel guard helps to reduce the risk
270 of personal injury.
271 c) Always use diamond cutting wheels which are specifically designed and specified by
272 the tool manufacturer. Just because a diamond cutting wheel can be attached to your
273 power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
274 d) Always use continuous rim diamond cutting wheels on this tool. Using segmented
275 diamond cutting wheels may cause kickback and increase the risk of personal injury.
