AMENDMENT 1
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) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 62841-3-1:2014 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 116:
Safety of motor-operated electric tools.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:

2 Normative references
Replace the existing normative reference ISO 180 with the following:
ISO 180:2019, Plastics – Determination of Izod impact strength
3 Terms and definitions
Replace the existing definition 3.110 with the following:
3.110
kerf width
maximum distance between two parallel planes that are touching the opposing sides of at
least three saw blade tooth tips
8 Marking and instructions
Add the following new subclause:
8.2 Addition:
NOTE 101 In the United States of America, the following additional requirements apply.
The following statements shall be verbatim:
a) DANGER – Never place your hands in the vicinity or in line with the saw blade.
b) WARNING – “Wear eye protection”.
NOTE 102 It is possible to replace the above verbatim text with symbol M004 of ISO 7010 (2011-05).
c) WARNING – Always use a properly functioning saw-blade guard, riving knife and anti-kickback device for
every operation for which it can be used, including all through sawing.

– 4 – IEC 62841-3-1:2014/AMD1:2021
© IEC 2021
NOTE 103 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the text is revised as follows:
WARNING – Always use a properly functioning saw-blade guard and riving knife for every operation for which
it can be used, including all through sawing.
NOTE 104 It is possible to replace the term “anti-kickback device” with “anti-kickback pawls” or “anti-kickback
rollers”.
d) WARNING – Use a push-stick or push-block when required.
e) WARNING – Do not perform any operation freehand.
f) WARNING – Pay particular attention to instructions on reducing risk of kickback. (or “Know how to reduce risk
of kickback.”)
g) WARNING – Never reach around or over saw blade. (or “Never reach in back of or over saw blade.”)
h) WARNING – Turn off tool and wait for saw blade to stop before moving workpiece or changing settings.
i) WARNING – Never stand directly in line with the saw blade. Always position your body on the same side of the
saw blade as the fence.
8.14.1.101 Safety instructions for table saws
Replace the existing text of NOTE 1 of 8.14.1.101 1) b) with the following new text:
NOTE 1 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the warning is revised as follows:
Always use saw blade guard and riving knife for every through-cutting operation. For through-cutting
operations where the saw blade cuts completely through the thickness of the workpiece, the guard and other safety
devices help reduce the risk of injury.
Replace the existing text of 8.14.1.101 1) c) with the following new text:
c) After completing a non-through cut such as rabbeting, resawing, or dadoing, restore
the riving knife to the extended-up position. With the riving knife in the extended-up
position, reattach the blade guard and the anti-kickback device. The guard, riving
knife, and anti-kickback device help to reduce the risk of injury.
Replace the existing text of NOTE 3 of 8.14.1.101 1) c) with the following new text:
NOTE 3 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the warning is revised as follows:
After completing a non-through cut such as rabbeting, resawing, or dadoing, restore the riving knife to the
extended-up position. With the riving knife in the extended-up position, reattach the blade guard. The
guard and riving knife help to reduce the risk of injury.
Replace the existing text of NOTE 1 of 8.14.1.101 1) f) with the following new text:
NOTE 1 If an anti-kickback device is not provided, the warning is revised as follows:
For the riving knife to work, it must be engaged in the workpiece. The riving knife is ineffective when cutting
workpieces that are too short to be engaged with the riving knife. Under these conditions, a kickback cannot be
prevented by the riving knife.
