Part 3-3: Particular requirements for transportable
planers and thicknessers
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
IEC 62841-3-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116: Safety of motor-operated
electric tools. It is an International Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

"replacement", the relevant text in IEC 62841-1 is to be adapted accordingly.
The following print types are used:
– requirements: in roman type;
– test specifications: in italic type;
notes: in small roman type.

the axis of the cutter block which performs the function of chip thickness limitation.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
19.101.3 The cutting edge of the blades shall not extend more than 1,1 mm (see dimension a
in Figure 103) past the surface of the cutter block.
Compliance is checked by measurement.

19.101.4 There shall be no recess in the cutter block except for the cutting blades and their
fastening devices (see Figure 103).
The chip groove in front of the blade shall have a maximum depth, d, measured radially to the
cutter block in accordance with Figure 104.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by measurement.

19.101.5 The blades shall be fixed to the cutter block in such a way that friction alone is not
relied upon to prevent ejection of the blades.
The clamping screws, if any, shall engage for a minimum of six full threads when fitted to a
steel cutter block. When the cutter block is made of material other than steel, the clamping
arrangement shall have the same degree of strength as that provided by the requirement for
the clamping screw for a steel block. The cutter block shall ensure that blade(s) are clamped
over their total length.
Compliance is checked by inspection and by the following test:
The blades are fitted to the cutter block in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The projection of the blades is measured, and the cutter block is run at no-load speed n for
5 min. After this test, the projection of the blades is measured again, and the displacement shall
not exceed 0,15 mm.
The cutter block is then run at the test speed n for 5 min. The projection of the blades is
p
measured and the displacement from the previous shall not exceed 0,15 mm,
where
n is the no-load speed in revolutions per minute of the cutter block at rated voltage or at the
upper limit of the rated voltage range; and
n = 1,5 × n

19.101.6 Handles and levers shall not impede the operator when feeding or loading the
workpiece.
