Foreword
The text of the International Standard IEC 60745-2-20:2003, prepared by SC 61F (transformed into
IEC TC 116, Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools), together with the common modifications
prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 61F (transformed into TC 116) was submitted to the
formal vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 60745-2-20 on 2003-09-01.
A draft amendment (prAA) was prepared to align Subclause 6.2 with the new Subclause 6.2 in
EN 60745-1. Moreover, vibration values determined with the new 6.2 are complying with the requirements
of the Physical Agents Directive Vibration 2002/44/EC. The text of the draft was submitted to the Unique
Acceptance Procedure and was approved by CENELEC as amendment A11 to EN 60745-2-20:2003 on
2007-06-01.
The text of document 61F/738/FDIS future amendment 1 to IEC 60745-2-20:2003, was submitted to the
IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as amendment A1 to EN 60745-2-20:2003
on 2009-04-22.
A further draft amendment (prAB), extending Annex ZZ to include the new MD 2006/42/EC, was
submitted to the formal vote.
The combined texts were approved by CENELEC as a new edition of EN 60745-2-9 on 2009-07-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 60745-2-9:2003 + A11:2007 + A1:2009.
The following dates were fixed:
- latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
 at national level by publication of an identical
 national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2010-02-01
- latest date by which the national standards conflicting
 with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2012-05-01
This standard is divided into two parts:
Part 1: General requirements which are common to most hand-held electric motor operated tools (for the
purpose of this standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the scope of this
standard;
Part 2: Requirements for particular types of tools which either supplement or modify the requirements
given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools.
This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of
EC Directives 98/37/EC (Machinery Directive), amended by Directive 98/79/EC, and of EC Directive
2006/42/EC. See Annex ZZA and Annex ZZB.
Compliance with the clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2 provides one means of conforming with
the essential health and safety requirements of the Directive concerned.
Warning: Other requirements and other EC Directives can be applicable to the products falling within
the scope of this standard.
This standard follows the overall requirements of EN ISO 12100-1 and EN ISO 12100-2.
This Part 2-20 is to be used in conjunction with EN 60745-1:2009. When this standard states "addition",
"modification" or "replacement", the relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly.

Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard IEC 60745-2-20:2003 + A1:2008 was approved by CENELEC as a
European Standard with agreed common modifications as given below.
COMMON MODIFICATIONS
6 Void
Replace by:
6 Environmental requirements
This clause of Part 1 is applicable except as follows:
6.1.2.4 Modification:
Band saws are suspended. The cutting part of the loop blade shall be horizontal.
6.1.2.5 Modification:
Band saws are tested at no-load.
6.2 Vibration
6.2.4.2 Location of the measurement
Addition:
Figure Z101 shows the positions for band saws.
6.2.6.3 Operating conditions
Modification:
Band saws are tested under load observing the conditions shown in Tables Z101 or Z102. If the band
saw is intended to cut metal, the test requirements of Table Z101 apply. If the band saw is intended to cut
wood, the test requirements of Table Z102 apply.

Table Z101 — Operating conditions for band saws intended to cut metal
Orientation Cutting rings in a vertical direction from a tube of mild steel. The tube shall have a
+ 10 mm + 2 mm.
diameter of 40 mm and a wall thickness of 2 mm
The steel tube is clamped in a vice which is rigidly mounted on a workbench. The
tube shall project 100 mm from the vice clamp and shall be readjusted at the
beginning of each series of tests.
Tool bit/ settings New saw band as specified for cutting of mild steel.
Speed setting devices shall be adjusted to the setting specified to cut mild steel.
Feed force The force to be applied to the tool in addition to its weight shall be just as necessary
to ensure stable sawing at a brisk pace. Equal force shall be applied to both
handles, avoiding excessive grip forces. Vibration reducing mechanisms shall not
be overloaded to allow them proper operation.
Test cycle A 10 mm wide ring is cut from the tube.
Measurement starts when the band saw enters the tube and stops when the saw
band leaves the tube.
NOTE In general, stable operation is achieved by a feed force which is not more than 50 N in addition to the weight of the tool.

Table Z102 — Operating conditions for band saws intended to cut wood
Orientation Cutting slices in vertical direction of a horizontal piece of softwood 50 mm x 50 mm
with a minimum length of 200 mm.
The workpiece shall be firmly clamped to a workbench using resilient material,
which shall be mounted so that it does not have any significant resonance in the
frequency range that can influence the test result.
The wood shall project 100 mm from the clamped area and shall be readjusted at
the beginning of each series of tests.
Tool bit/settings New saw band as specified for cutting softwood.
Speed setting devices shall be adjusted to the setting specified to cut softwood.
Feed force Just sufficient to cut at a brisk pace. Equal force shall be applied to both handles,
avoiding excessive grip forces. Vibration reducing mechanisms shall not be
overloaded to allow them proper operation
Test cycle One test cycle is given by cutting off one approximately 10 mm wide slice (set by rip
fence if available) across the wood.
The measurement starts when the saw band enters the wood and finishes when
the saw band leaves the wood.
NOTE In general, stable operation is achieved by a feed force which is not more than 50 N in addition to the weight of the tool.
