Household and similar electrical appliances - Safety -- Part 2-91: Particular requirements for walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers
This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and
construction of electric powered walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge
trimmers, with cutting element(s) of non-metallic filament line or freely pivoting non-metallic
cutter(s), with a kinetic energy of not more than 10 J each, used by a standing operator for cutting
grass, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for a.c. or 75 V d.c..
NOTE 101 The method of calculating the kinetic energy for the purposes of this standard is given in 22.103.
In this European Standard, hand-held and walk-behind lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers are
referred to collectively as machine(s).
This European Standard does not apply to
− scissor type or lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers with cutting means other than those
described above;
