Introduction
This document has been prepared to be a harmonised standard to provide one means of conforming to the
essential safety requirements of the Machinery Directive, and associated EFTA regulations. This document is
a type C standard as stated in EN ISO 12100:2010.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are
indicated in the scope of this document.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of other standards, for machines that
have been designed and built in accordance with the requirements of the provisions of this type C standard.
The requirements of this document are directed to manufacturers and their authorised representatives of
manual horizontal cutting cross-cut circular sawing machines with one saw unit (manual radial arm saws). It is
also useful for designers.
This document also includes provisions and examples of information to be provided by the manufacturer to
the user.
Common requirements for tooling are given in EN 847-1:2005+A1:2007.

laminates, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including
reasonably foreseeable misuse.
NOTE 1 For the definition of stationary and displaceable machine, see 3.2.3 and 3.2.4.
The requirements of this document apply to all machines whatever their method of control
e.g. electromechanical and/or electronic.
This document does not apply to:
a) machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which are intended to carry out work in a
stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand; the bench can also be an integrated

c) machines fitted with powered work-piece positioning;
d) machines fitted with the facility for either ripping, milling (including trenching and grooving), sanding
and/or drilling;
e) machines equipped with more than one saw spindle speed;
NOTE 3 A standard to cover machines that can be used for ripping and moulding will be considered at the next
revision.
NOTE 4 Semi-automatic and automatic horizontal cutting cross-cut circular sawing machines with one saw unit (radial
arm saws) are dealt with in EN 1870-11:2003+A1:2009.
f) machines with integrated feed.
This document is not applicable to manual horizontal cutting cross-cut circular sawing machines with one saw
unit (manual radial arm saws) which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.

3 Terms and definitions
3.1 General
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN ISO 12100:2010 and the following
apply.
3.2 Definitions
3.2.1
cross-cutting
operation of cutting across the longitudinal workpiece dimension
3.2.2
manual horizontal cutting cross-cut circular sawing machine with one saw unit (manual radial arm
saw)
machine where the saw unit has hand feed and is moved horizontally forward along an arm in a straight line
through the workpiece during the cut and then back to its initial/rest position
Note 1 to entry: See Figures 1 and 2.
Note 2 to entry: The arm can rotate around a vertical axis (pivoting) in a horizontal plane and the saw unit can rotate
about a horizontal axis (canting) parallel to the arm. The workpiece is manually positioned on and removed from the
workpiece support.

NOTE The saw blade is not in the rest position.

stationary machine
machine designed to be located on or fixed to the floor or other parts of the structure of the premises and to
be stationary during use
3.2.4
displaceable machine
machine which is located on the floor, stationary during use and equipped with a device, normally wheels,
which allow it to be moved between locations

direction of the feed movement
3.2.6
machine actuator
power mechanism used to effect motion of the saw blade
3.2.7
cutting area of the saw blade
area of the saw blade where it can be involved in the cutting process
3.2.8
