cutter blade to the rear side of any handle, except for Category 1, is not less than 120 mm as shown in
Figure 108 a) and Figure 108 b).
For Category 1, the shortest distance between the front of the handle grip and the nearest blade tooth
shall be at least 120 mm (see Figure 111). The distances shall be measured along the shortest path from
the front of the handle grip to the nearest cutting edge of the cutter blade.
For all categories in Table 101, if there is a front hand barrier, then the x and x distances in Figure 108 a)
1 2
and Figure 108 b) shall be measured along the shortest path from the backside of the handle, via the edge
of the front hand barrier, to the nearest cutting edge of the cutter blade. The front hand barrier shall not
