Agricultural and forestry machinery - Safety of log splitters - Part 1: Wedge splitters

This European Standard specifies safety requirements, and their verification for the design and construction of wedge splitters, designed to be used by one operator for splitting wood, irrespective of the nature of the power source used. On a dual purpose circular saw for firewood/log splitting machine only the log splitter part of the machine is covered by this standard. For circular saws for firewood see prEN 1870-6:1997. This standard describes methods for the elimination or reduction of risks arising from their use. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer. The list of significant hazards dealt with is given in annex A. Annex A also indicates the hazards which have not been dealt with. This European Standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.

Land- und Forstmaschinen - Sicherheit von Holzspaltmaschinen - Teil 1: Keilspaltmaschinen

Diese Europäische Norm legt sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen und deren Prüfung für Gestaltung und
Konstruktion von Keilspaltmaschinen für Einmann-Bedienung zum Spalten von Holz, unabhängig von der Art
der Antriebsenergie, fest.
An kombinierten Brennholzkreissägemaschinen/Holzspaltmaschinen wird nur der Spaltmaschinenteil der
Maschine durch diese Norm erfasst. Für Brennholzkreissägemaschinen siehe prEN 1870-6:1997.
Die Norm beschreibt Maßnahmen zur Vermeidung oder Verminderung der sich aus dem Gebrauch dieser
Maschinen ergebenden Risiken. Außerdem gibt sie Informationen über sicheres Arbeiten, die vom Hersteller
zur Verfügung zu stellen sind.
Die Liste der signifikanten Gefährdungen ist in Anhang A aufgeführt. Anhang A weist auch auf Gefährdungen
hin, die nicht behandelt sind.
Diese Europäische Norm gilt in erster Linie für Maschinen, die nach dem Ausgabedatum der Norm hergestellt
werden.

Kmetijski in gozdarski stroji - Varnost cepilnikov lesa - 1. del: Cepilniki s klinom

Ta evropski standard opredeljuje varnostne zahteve in njihovo preverjanje za načrtovanje in izdelavo cepilnikov s klinom za cepitev lesa, ki so zasnovani tako, da jih uporablja en upravljavec, ne glede na vrsto  uporabljenega pogonskega vira. Na krožni žagi z dvojno funkcijo za drva/cepitev klad ta standard zajema le del stroja za cepitev klad. Za krožne žage za drva glej prEN 1870-6:1997. Ta standard opisuje metode za odpravo ali zmanjševanje tveganj, ki izvirajo iz njihove uporabe. Poleg tega opredeljuje vrste podatkov glede varnih delovnih praks, ki jih mora zagotoviti proizvajalec. Seznam obravnavanih velikih nevarnosti je podan v Dodatku A. Dodatek A navaja tudi nevarnosti, ki niso bile obravnavane. Ta evropski standard velja predvsem za stroje, ki so bili izdelani po datumu izdaje tega standarda.

The degree of protection of all electrical components shall be a minimum of IP 54 in accordance with EN 60529. See 6.3 s) for the use of PRCD. 4.2 Safety and reliability of control systems Control systems shall be at least category 1 according to 6.2.2 of EN 954-1:1996.
For the purpose of this standard, "safety related control systems" means the system from and including the initial manual control or position detector to the point of input to the final actuator or element, e.g. motor. Safety related control systems of this machine include the following: SIST EN 609-1:1999+A2:2010



EN 609-1:1999+A2:2009 (E) 6  starting;  normal stopping;  interlocking devices;  interlocking devices with guard locking. For the purpose of this standard "well tried" according to EN 954-1 means: a) for electrical components that they comply with the relevant standards such as:  EN 60947-5-1:1991 (section 3) for control switches with positive opening operation used as mechanically actuated position detectors for interlocking guards and for relays used in auxiliary circuits;  EN 60947-4-1 for electromechanical contactors and motor starters used in main circuits;  HD 22.1 S3 for rubber insulated cables;  HD 21.1 S1 for polyvinyl chloride insulated cables if these cables are additionally protected against mechanical damage by positioning (e.g. inside frames); b) for electrical principles that they comply with the first four measures listed in 9.4.2.1 of EN 60204-1:1992. The circuits shall be "hardwired". Electronic components alone do not fulfil category 1; c) for mechanical components that they comply with 3.5 of EN 292-2:1991; d) for mechanically actuated position detectors for guards that they are actuated in the positive mode and their arrangement/fastening and cam design/mounting comply with 5.2.2 and 5.3 of EN 1088:1995; e) for interlocking devices with guard locking that they are a minimum of type 3 according to table 1 of EN 1088:1995; f) for hydraulic components and systems that they comply with EN 982. 4.3 Starting and stopping On electrically driven machines, a control device for starting and stopping the machine shall be provided within the reach of the operator when he is in the operating position. On machines not powered by electricity, the engine start and stop control or the tractor start and stop control are regarded as the operator's controls for starting and stopping the machine. 4.4 Hydraulic equipment Hydraulic equipment shall comply with EN 982. Pressurized hoses, lines and components shall be located or shielded so that in the event of rupture, the fluid can not be discharged directly onto the operator when in the operating position.

EN 609-1:1999+A2:2009 (E) 7 ! 4.5 Holding devices 4.5.1 Log holding device A device aimed at holding the log prior to the splitting process shall be provided. This device shall be designed to allow the log to be split without requiring it to be held in position by touching with hands or feet. 4.5.2 Log parts holding device during and after splitting A device shall also prevent the log, or parts of it, from falling onto the operator when he is in the operating position during and after the splitting process. The devices described in 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 can be combined." 4.6 Guarding of the splitting zone During the splitting process, the splitting zone shall be guarded by one of the following methods: a) use of an interlocking guard with guard locking; it shall not be possible to open the guard if the splitting process is not complete and if pressure is being applied to the splitting wedge/pressure plate in the splitting direction. See figure 3 for example; b) layout of the manual controls so that the operator cannot be caught between the pressure plate and the splitting wedge, or between the log and the splitting wedge, the pressure plate or other parts of the machine. This requirement is satisfied by using two-hand controls (see 9.1 to 9.4 and 9.6 of EN 574:1996) which conform to all of the following:  the two-hand controls shall be of the "hold-to-run“ type, i.e. the splitting process is stopped if either manual control is released and;  the wedge/the pressure plate shall not return to the starting position if one manual control is in the "On" position and;  it shall be impossible to start the splitting process inadvertently or to operate both manual controls simultaneously with one hand or arm or with other parts of the body (see 9.1 to 9.4 and 9.6 of EN 574:1996) and;  the controls shall be laid out in such a way that the operator has a
