Key Topics

• Scope and Coverage
  SIST EN 62841-3-1:2014/A12:2021 addresses all significant hazards associated with transportable table saws, including mechanical, electrical, ergonomic, and operational risks.

• Safety Requirements
  The standard includes detailed requirements for:

  • Guards and protective devices to prevent accidental contact with moving parts
  • Control devices for safe starting, stopping, and electrical failure scenarios
  • Stability during operation to avoid tipping or movement
  • Materials and product design to minimize injury and ensure durability
  • Noise and emission controls to protect operators

• Marking and Instructions
  Clear markings and user instructions are mandated to communicate residual risks, safe operating procedures, and maintenance requirements.

• Conformity and Compliance
  The document aligns safety standards with the EU Machinery Directive, providing a presumption of conformity when followed correctly. It includes a detailed annex illustrating how essential requirements are met.

• Modification Details
  Amendment A12 revises specific clauses to improve clarity and remove obsolete notes, update normative references, and enhance alignment with international standards like ISO 180 (Plastics - Izod impact strength).
