- the operator's hand or hands,
- a suspension, e.g. a balancer.
This part, EN 792-12, applies to hand-held non-electric small circular and small oscillating and reciprocating power tools for sawing. This part lists the significant hazards caused by such power tools and specifies safety requirements valid for different aspects of safety during their foreseeable lifetime and subsequent disposal.
Power tools covered by this part of the standard:
- circular saws, circular knives,
- jig saws,
- oscillating saws, oscillating knives (windshield knives),
- power hack saws,
- reciprocating saws.
This part of the standard applies to:
- circular saws with saw blades with a diameter of 65 mm or less,
- circular saws with diamond cutting-off wheels with diameters of 65 mm or less and a maximum cutting depth of 10 mm,
- oscillating saws having a saw blade with a radius of 50 mm or less or a diamond cutting-off blade with a radius of 100 mm or less.
NOTE 1 For circular saws having saw blades exceeding 65 mm see requirements for mechanical safety of
EN 50144-2-5 and EN 50144-2-10. For circular saws with diamond cutting-off wheels exceeding 65 mm see part 7 of this series
Special requirements and modifications on a hand-held power tool for the purpose of mounting it in a fixture are not covered by this part.

EN 792-12:2000+A1:2008 (E) 4 Introduction This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 1070. The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards, hazardous situations and events are covered are indicated in the scope of this standard. When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the provisions of this type C standard take precedence over the provisions of other standards, for machines that have been designed and built according to the provisions of this type C standard. The European Standard, EN 792, consists of a number of independent parts for individual types of hand-held non-electric power tools.
Other EN standards deal with safety rules for hand-held power tools used in e. g. the following fields: agriculture and forestry such as chain saws, hedge-trimmers, brush cutters, grass trimmers; construction and building such as cutting-off power tools, concrete vibrators; food industry, such as fowl secateurs, sheep shears. Endeavours have been made to achieve co-ordination with the relevant Technical Committees so that the safety requirements are compatible. This standard is divided in the following parts: Part 1 - Assembly power tools for non-threaded mechanical fasteners (former part 14) Part 2 - Cutting-off and crimping power tools (former part 15) Part 3 - Drills and tappers Part 4 - Non rotary percussive power tools Part 5 - Rotary, percussive power drills Part 6 - Assembly power tools for threaded fasteners Part 7 - Grinders Part 8 - Sanders and polishers Part 9 - Die grinders
Part 10 - Compression power tools Part 11 - Nibblers and shears Part 12 - Small circular, small oscillating and reciprocating saws
Part 13 - Fastener driving tools Certain parts of EN 792 cover hand-held non-electric power tools, driven by internal combustion engines powered by gaseous or liquid fuel. In these parts, the safety aspects relating to internal combustion engines are found in a normative annex. The parts are type C standards and refer to pertinent European Standards of type A and B where such standards are applicable. SIST EN 792-12:2000+A1:2008
