Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 19432:2006(E)
Introduction
The structure of safety standards in the field of machinery is as follows.
a) Type-A standards (basis standards) give basic concepts, principles for design, and general aspects that
can be applied to machinery.
b) Type-B standards (generic safety standards) deal with one or more safety aspect(s) or one or more
type(s) of safeguards that can be used across a wide range of machinery:
⎯ type-B1 standards on particular safety aspects (e.g. safety distances, surface temperature, noise);
⎯ type-B2 standards on safeguards (e.g. two-hands controls, interlocking devices, pressure-sensitive
devices, guards).
c) Type-C standards (machinery safety standards) deal with detailed safety requirements for a particular
machine or group of machines.
This International Standard is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100-1.
When provisions of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or type-B
standards, the provisions of this type-C standard take precedence over the provisions of the other standards
for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type-C standard.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered as
indicated in the scope of this International Standard.
This International Standard is based on EN 1454:1998 and an ANSI draft.

machines — Safety requirements and testing
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification by testing for the design and
construction of portable, hand-held, internal combustion engine driven, cut-off machines, intended to be used
by a single operator in the cutting of construction materials, such as asphalt, concrete, stone and metal. It is
applicable to those machines designed purposely for use with a rotating, bonded-abrasive and/or
superabrasive (diamond) cut-off wheel having a maximum outside diameter of 406 mm, centre-mounted on,
and driven by, a spindle shaft, where the top of the wheel rotates away from the operator (see Figure 1).
This International Standard deals with all significant hazards related to the hand-held use of such machines
(see Clause 4). It specifies methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from their use, as well
as the type of information on safe working practices to be provided with the machines. Cut-off machines
designed in accordance with this International Standard are intended to be used by persons who have read
and understood the safety requirements given in the “instruction handbook” and who use the appropriate
personal protective equipment (PPE).
Except for noise, environmental aspects are not considered by this International Standard; nor are cut-off

CAUTION — Some of the tests specified in this International Standard involve processes that could
lead to a hazardous situation. Any person performing tests in accordance with this International
Standard shall be appropriately trained in the type of work to be carried out. All national regulatory
conditions and health and safety requirements shall be followed.
5.1 General
The safe running of cut-off machines depends on both the safety requirements according to this clause and
the safe working conditions associated with the use of adequate personal protection equipment (PPE), such
as gloves, leg protection, boots, and eye, ear and head protection equipment (see Clause 6).
Cut-off machines shall comply with the safety requirements and/or protective measures of this clause. Cut-off
machines shall also be marked according to 6.2 and wear warnings according to 6.3. In addition, the machine
shall be designed according to the principles of ISO 12100-2 for hazards relevant but not significant, which are
not dealt with by this document.

---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
ISO 19432:2006(E)
When the machine is placed in its normal position on a flat horizontal surface (see Figure 1), the cut-off wheel
or the guard shall not touch the horizontal plane and the machine shall remain stable.
Figure 1 — Example of cut-off machine placed in normal position on flat surface
5.2 Handles
5.2.1 Requirements
Cut-off machines shall have a handle for each hand. These handles shall be designed so that they
⎯ can be fully gripped by an operator when wearing protective gloves,
⎯ provide the necessary sureness of grip by their shaping and surface, and
⎯ conform to the dimensions and clearances, except distances B and C, given in ISO 7914:2002.
Cut-off machines with a system to isolate the machine vibration from the handles shall be designed so that the
machine maintains structural integrity allowing the operator to control the machine, even in the event of partial
or full failure of the vibration isolators.
5.2.2 Verification
Dimensions shall be verified by measurements. The ability to control the machine if a failure occurs in the
vibration isolators shall be verified by inspection of the design.
5.3 Speed
5.3.1 Requirement
Engine speed shall be limited so that it is not possible to accelerate the engine in excess of the maximum
spindle speed. The maximum spindle speed shall be specified in the instruction handbook.
5.3.2 Verification
The limitation to adjust engine speed shall be verified by inspection and measurement. The function of the
throttle control shall be verified by inspection while operating the machine.
The spindle speed shall be measured at the spindle. Simple calculations using the engine speed and the
transmission ratio shall not be permitted due to the potential for slippage in the energy transmission from the
engine to the shaft.
