Transportable wall saw and wire saw equipment for job site - Safety
The global description "wall saw and wire saw equipment" contains two differing types of machines for use in the construction industry, and both used to make cuts on walls, ceilings and floors composed of mineral construction materials and/or composite materials. The many different cutting tasks and choice of operating method determine the type of machine to be used for each application. The machines may therefore be split into the following two principal classifications: - Wall saws - exclusively rail guided - transportable. - Wire saws - transportable. The machines are intended for the use of diamond tools. The types of cutting tools used in conjunction with the machines as described above fall within the design and use parameters supplied by the manufacturer. Cutting debry generated by the cutting action is removed from the cutting joint by a medium such as water directed to the cutting tool. Machines covered by this standard may be powered by: electric motor, IC engine, electro-hydraulic drive and IC engine-hydraulic drive. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to wall saws and wire saws machinery, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards generated by the cutting process work cycle.
Transportable Wand- und Seilsägen für den Baustelleneinsatz - Sicherheit
Die generelle Bezeichnung "Wand- und Seilsägen" beinhaltet zwei unterschiedliche Typen von Maschinen für den Einsatz in der Bauindustrie, die beide dazu vorgesehen sind, um Schnitte in Wände, Decken und Böden, die aus mineralischen Baumaterialien und/oder Verbundmaterialien bestehen, vornehmen zu können. Die Vielzahl der unterschiedlichen Schneidaufgaben und die Auswahl des geeigneten Verfahrens bestimmt den Typ, der für die jeweilige Anwendung einzusetzenden Maschine.
Die bedeutendsten Einflussfaktoren sind:
- die auszuführende Schneidaufgabe;
- das Schneidverfahren;
- der Typ des Bauwerks;
- das zu schneidende Material.
Die Maschinen können vor diesem Hintergrund in die folgenden zwei Kategorien unterteilt werden:
- transportable Wandsäge, schienengeführt;
- transportable Seilsäge.
Die Maschinen sind zum Einsatz mit Diamantwerkzeugen vorgesehen. Die Typen von Diamantwerkzeugen, die bei den jeweiligen Maschinen einzusetzen sind, werden durch die vom Hersteller vorgegebenen Konstruktions- und Anwendungsparameter bestimmt.
Während des Schneidvorgangs erzeugte Bruchstücke werden aus dem Schneidschlitz mittels eines auf das Schneidwerkzeug gerichteten Mediums wie z. B. Wasser entfernt.
Die Maschinen, die durch diese Norm abgedeckt sind, können wie folgt angetrieben werden: Elektromotor, Verbrennungsmotor, elektrohydraulischer Antrieb oder hydraulischer Antrieb über einen Verbrennungsmotor.
Diese Norm behandelt alle signifikanten Gefährdungen, Gefährdungssituationen und Gefährdungsereignisse, die auf Wand- und Seilsägen für den Baustelleneinsatz zutreffen, wenn sie bestimmungsgemäß verwendet werden. Die nach vernünftigem Ermessen für den Hersteller vorhersehbare Nutzung der Maschine außerhalb der bestimmungsgemäßen Verwendung ist ebenfalls berücksichtigt (siehe Abschnitt 4).
Diese Norm spezifiziert die entsprechenden Maßnahmen zur Beseitigung oder Verminderung der Risiken, die von den signifikanten Gefährdungen ausgehen.

Scies murales et scies a fil transportables de chantier - Sécurité
La désignation générale "scies murales et scies à fil transportables de chantier" englobe des machines de deux types différents utilisées dans l'industrie du bâtiment, les machines des deux types servant à pratiquer des entailles dans les murs, les plafonds et les planchers composés de matériaux de construction minéraux et/ou de matériaux composites. Les nombreuses tâches de coupe différentes et le choix de la méthode de fonctionnement déterminent le type de machine à utiliser pour chaque application.
Les machines peuvent donc être réparties dans les deux grandes classes suivantes :
scies murales - exclusivement guidées par rail - transportables ;
scies à fil - transportables.
Les machines sont destinées à l’utilisation d’outils diamantés. Les types d'outils de coupe utilisés conjointement avec les machines décrites ci-dessus entrent dans le cadre des paramètres de conception et d'utilisation communiqués par le fabricant.
Les chutes engendrées par l'action de coupe sont enlevées du joint de coupe par un milieu tel que de l'eau, dirigé sur l'outil de coupe.
Les machines couvertes par la présente norme peuvent être alimentées par un moteur électrique, un moteur à combustion interne, par un entraînement électro-hydraulique ou par un moteur à combustion interne à entraînement hydraulique.
La présente Norme européenne traite tous les phénomènes dangereux, situations et événements dangereux significatifs spécifiques aux scies murales et aux scies à fil transportables de chantier lorsqu’elles sont utilisées normalement et dans les conditions de mauvais usages raisonnablement prévisibles par le fabricant (voir Article 4).
La présente norme spécifie les mesures techniques appropriées permettant d'éliminer ou de réduire les risques provenant des phénomènes dangereux significatifs engendrés par le cycle de travail du processus de coupe.

The machines are intended for the use of diamond tools. The types of cutting tools used in conjunction with the machines as described above fall within the design and use parameters supplied by the manufacturer. Cutting debry generated by the cutting action is removed from the cutting joint by a medium such as water directed to the cutting tool. Machines covered by this standard may be powered by: electric motor, IC engine, electro-hydraulic drive and IC engine-hydraulic drive. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events relevant to wall saws and wire saws machinery, when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Clause 4). This standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards generated by the cutting process work cycle. For special applications, for example, when working in potentially explosive atmospheres, additional safety requirements is necessary which are not covered by this standard.
This European Standard does not apply for wire saws intended for quarrying and stationary machining of natural stone as covered by prEN 15163. This European Standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of approval by CEN of this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

EN 15027:2007 (E) 12 5 Safety requirements and/or measures 5.1 General Machinery shall comply with the safety requirements and/or measures of this clause and in addition with EN ISO 12100-1:2003 and EN ISO 12100-2:2003 for hazards which are relevant but not significant and which are not dealt with in this standard. The application of the reference standards EN 294:1992, EN 953:1997 used in this standard refers only to the operation of intended elements (see also 7.3.2.3).
5.2 Mechanical hazards 5.2.1 General As components and parts have to be manually handled, all accessible parts, the cutting tool excepted, shall be free of sharp edges and burrs which could generate hazards when setting up, using, handling and maintaining the machine. Burrs from, for example, manufacturing, casting and welding shall be eliminated, sharp edges shall be smoothed. 5.2.2 Protection against moving parts 5.2.2.1 Moving parts not involved in the working process Rotating transmission parts, for example, couplings and drive shafts shall be provided with fixed guards to prevent contact. Guards shall comply with EN 953:1997 and in particular with Clauses 5, 6 and 7. Fixed guards shall be used and be held in position either by welding or mounting them in such a way that they can only be opened or removed only with the aid of tools or keys. Guards shall comply with the provisions of EN 294:1992 on safety distances. When daily access is required for service or maintenance purposes instead of fixed guards, movable guards (see EN ISO 12100-2:2003, 5.3.2.3 a), may be fitted. They shall fulfil the following requirements: they shall remain fixed to the machine when open; they shall be fitted with a system holding them in the open position. NOTE The system may be of – for example – a locking, latching, own-weight or spring loaded type. 5.2.2.2 Moving parts involved in the working process 5.2.2.2.1 General
The guards for the protection against contact with the tool and its driving and guiding devices shall be so designed and robust enough to resist strains resulting from an accidental projection of fragments of the cutting tool. Brittleness of the guard material shall be taken into account. Permanent plastic deformation of the guard resulting from stress shall be allowed. Requirements for the strength of cutting-off wheel and wire guards are specified in Annex B. The existence of a device stopping the cutting-off wheel is not necessary, when the absence or the opening of the guard creates a projection of water, which prevents an intended use of the machine. SIST EN 15027:2008
EN 15027:2007 (E) 13 5.2.2.2.2 Wall saws The upper part of the cutting tool and its fixing shall be covered with a fixed guard to avoid inadvertent contact and designed with sufficient strength to protect against ejection of fragments of the tool, water, the material to be cut and take into account that the machine may be remotely controlled by the operator. The mounting and dismounting of the guard system shall need an intentional manual action. For removable guard systems, keyless fixation of the guard may be applied as an alternative to a key operated system. The guard opening angle in relation to the centre of the spindle shall not exceed 180°. In the flange area the lateral parts of the guard may have an opening of a size up to 50 % of the lateral parts. The guard shall have a removable section (lateral and peripheral) or a special design exclusively to allow a cut into a frontal surface. In this case 90° of the tool periphery shall remain covered (see operator's instructions in 7.3.2.3).
Only for flush cutting the guard may have a open side (lateral) or a special design in order to allow a cut close to adjacent surface (see operator's instructions in 7.3.2.3). In that case fixing screws and similar devices shall be designed countersunk in the flange or cutting tool. 5.2.2.2.3 Wire saws The drive, tensioning (feed) and storage system of the wire saw except of the external wire guiding devices shall be covered with fixed guards to avoid inadvertent contact. This/these guard(s) shall have sufficient strength to protect against ejection of fragments of the tool. When designing the guard system it shall take into account that the machine will be remotely controlled by the operator. The distance from the unprotected moving tool to the remote control shall allow that the operator can operate the machine outside the dangerous area described in the instruction manual (see 7.3.2.3).
The mounting and dismounting of the guard system shall need an intentional manual action. For removable guard systems, keyless fixation of the guard may be applied as an alternative to a key operated system. 5.2.3 Stability The machines shall be designed and constructed so that they are sufficiently stable under the intended operating conditions. Machines shall be equipped with fixing devices which shall allow a rigid and safe mounting in relation to the material to be cut. Nuts and screws intended to adjust the mountings in position shall need intentional action to loosen. 5.2.4 Transport and handling The movable parts of the machine shall be either lockable or removable to avoid risk of shearing, crushing, unlocking or falling down e. g. during handling or carrying. NOTE For technical requirements relating to transport and lifting of machines see 5.5.5 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003, Annex A.
SIST EN 15027:2008
EN 15027:2007 (E) 14 5.2.5 Fixing of the cutting tool 5.2.5.1 Device for mounting the cutting tool The device for mounting the cutting tool on the wall saw shall be designed that loosening and untightening shall only be possible by an intentional manual action (e. g. by retaining the cutting tool on the drive spindle by a fixing device preventing loosening of the tool when in use). 5.2.5.2 Flanges Clamping flanges for wall saws used to mount the rotating tools shall secure a safe transmission of moments and forces to the tool during the whole cutting process including foreseeable misuse. Clamping flanges have to be designed in a way that the loads to the rotating tool during the cutting process will not lead to a fatigue or failure in the clamping zone of the rotating tool. NOTE ISO 21537-2:2004 can be used as a design help, but any other design, if justified is possible. 5.2.6 Manual starting Internal combustion engines using a hand starting system shall be designed to avoid a hazard caused by kick back by of the inclusion, for example of an anti kick-back device. 5.2.7 Guiding systems The track guiding system and/or the wire guiding system shall be designed to take the maximum force generated by the working process. End stops at track guiding system to retain the cutting head/drive unit shall be mounted on both ends.
5.2.8 Control devices 5.2.8.1 General For control functions in electric, hydraulic and pneumatic systems the requirements specified in Clauses 7, 9, 11 and 13 of EN 60204-1:2006, EN 982:1996 and EN 983:1996 shall be applied.
Control devices shall be marked without ambiguity. They shall be positioned for safe, quick and comfortable operation.
NOTE For guidance see 3.6.6 of EN ISO 12100-2:2003.
For safety-related parts of control systems EN ISO 13849-1:2006 shall be applied, the required performance level PLr shall be c or higher.
5.2.8.2 Start and stop control for rotation and feed Machines shall be fitted with separate control devices to start and stop the motor, or the cutting action of the cutting tool and stop the powered feed. Start and stop devices shall be easily accessible to the operator. Wall saws shall be equipped with a control which, when stopping the feed, holds the cutting head in a sustained position. Wire saws shall be equipped with a remote control. The remote control may be an integral part of the power supply unit. The design of the remote control shall allow the operator to control the machine from outside the danger zone as defined by the manufacturer in the operator's instructions (see 7.3.2.3).
