Overview

oSIST prEN ISO 19085-9:2026 specifies comprehensive safety requirements and measures for circular saw benches, also known as table saws, used in woodworking. Developed by SIST as a harmonized adaptation of ISO 19085-9, this standard addresses hazards associated with machines used for continuous production, applicable to both units with and without sliding tables. The document outlines essential safeguards for saw benches designed to process solid wood and similar materials, encompassing the entire machine lifecycle from assembly and installation to operation, maintenance, and end-of-life disposal.

By adhering to this standard, manufacturers, suppliers, and users of circular saw benches can ensure compliance with current machinery safety norms in the woodworking industry and meet key regulatory expectations across both European and global markets.

Key Topics

• Comprehensive Hazard Analysis: The standard identifies and addresses all significant hazards, hazardous situations, and hazardous events relevant to circular saw benches, as listed in an informative annex. Reasonably foreseeable misuse as well as intended use conditions are considered for a robust safety approach.

• Machine Types Covered: Applies to circular saw benches with or without sliding tables, demountable power feed units, or both, capable of continuous production. Also includes machines fitted with additional devices such as:

  • Raising/lowering mechanisms for main and scoring saw blades
  • Saw blade tilt devices for angled cutting
  • Scoring devices
  • Grooving devices (with tool width not exceeding 20 mm per pass)
  • Demountable power feed units
  • Additional manually operated sliding tables
  • Powered workpiece clamping devices

• Lifecycle Safety Measures: Requirements span all phases-transport, assembly, adjustment, operation, maintenance, dismantling, and scrapping-ensuring user safety at all stages.

• Clear Exclusions: The standard does not apply to machines for outdoor use on building sites, handheld woodworking machines (including those adapted for bench mounting), equipment intended for explosive atmospheres, or machines manufactured before the publication date.

• Control and Protective Systems: Detailed provisions for:

  • Location and ergonomics of control devices
  • Direct and indirect start/stop mechanisms
  • Braking functions and speed controls
  • Fixed and interlocking movable guards
  • Prevention of access to hazardous parts
  • Safety appliances and protective equipment, such as anti-kickback devices

• Additional Hazards Addressed: Safety around fire, noise emission, chip and dust extraction, electrical risks, ergonomics, lighting, pneumatic/hydraulic/electromagnetic compatibility, and instructions for installation and use.

The SRP/CS for speed monitoring shall achieve PL = c.
r
Where the speed limit value is manually input on the human-machine-interface (HMI):
— the HMI shall display the speed limit value sent back by the inverter;
— for software parametrization, ISO 13849-1:2023, 6.3, shall apply.
Where the speed limit value is pre-set by the machine manufacturer, to monitor the speed of a PDS(SR),
IEC 61800-5-2:2016, 4.2.4.5 [safely-limited speed (SLS)] or safe maximum speed (SMS) shall apply.
NOTE The tool speed value selected by the operator or by the control system can be lower than the speed limit
value pre-set by the machine manufacturer for the relevant drive.
4.8 Failure of any energy supply
ISO DIS 19085-1:2025, 4.8, shall apply, except that non-return valves are not required on pneumatic cylinders
used for workpiece clamping.

4.15 Power-operated adjustment of the saw blades and the rip fence
4.15.1 Risk of contact between the saw blades and the rip fence
Power-operated movements for adjusting the saw blades and the rip fence shall only be possible under pre-
set electronic control after actuation of an initiation control device or by hold-to-run control.
The SRP/CS for initiation control shall achieve PL = c.
r
As an exception to ISO 13849-1:2023, 6.1.3.2.3, push buttons with normally open contact, fulfilling the
relevant requirements of IEC 60947-5-1:2024, and having MTTF of at least 100 years, may also be used to
D
fulfil Category 1 of ISO 13849-1:2023 in the SRP/CS for initiation control.
Within a collision area, i.e. where the position of the rip fence is so close to the saw blade that contact
between the rip fence and the saw blade is possible, respective approach movements shall only be possible
by hold-to-run control, whereby the maximum speed of adjustment shall be 15 mm/s for linear and 5°/s for
rotational movements (no PL required for speed monitoring).
The SRP/CS for detection of the position of the rip fence within the collision area shall achieve PL = c.
r
Where power-operated movements are activated by hold-to-run control, no more than one power-operated
movement at a time shall be possible.
NOTE The simultaneous adjustment of height and tilt of the saw blade is considered as one single movement.
Saw blade rotation is allowed during power-operated adjustments.
The SRP/CS for limitation of concurrent movements under hold-to-run control shall achieve PL = b.
r
Unexpected start of power-operated adjustments under pre-set electronic control shall be prevented after
the pre-set position has been reached. The SRP/CS for prevention of unexpected start of power-operated
adjustments shall achieve PL = c.
r
This can be achieved for example by a time delay. If this solution is implemented, after actuation of the
initiation control for power-operated adjustments under pre-set electronic control, a time delay device shall
cut-off the energy supply to the actuators with a delay time set to the maximum possible adjustment time.
The SRP/CS for energy cut-off by time delay shall achieve PL = c.
