Overview

This standard defines relevant requirements set out in Annex I of the EC Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, relating to machines which were placed on the European Economic Area (EEA) market for the first time, with the intent of simplifying the means of proving conformity with such requirements. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in clause 4 which are relevant to stationary and displaceable table band saws and band re-saws with manual loading and/or unloading, also when mounted to and powered by a motor tractor, hereinafter together referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood, and also these materials covered with plastic edging and/or plastic/light alloy laminates, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Machines designed to cut wood based material may also be used to cut rigid plastic materials with similar characteristics as wood. This European Standard does not apply to: a) transportable machines, that is, machines set up on a bench or a table similar to a bench, which are intended to carry out work in a stationary position, capable of being lifted by one person by hand; the bench can also be an integrated part of the machine if it consists of hinged legs which can be extended down. Transportable electrically driven machines are covered by the requirements of EN 61029-1:2009 together with EN 61029-2-5:2011. b) hand held motor-operated electric tools including any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, that is bench mounting. Hand-held motor-operated electric tools are covered by the requirements of EN 60745-1:2009 together with EN 60745-2-20:2009. c) log sawing machines. Log sawing machines are covered by EN 1807-2. This European Standard does not deal with the specific hazards related to thermal engine and P.T.O. equipment that may be fitted to the machine. This European Standard is not applicable to machines manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. Machines covered by this document are listed under 4 of Annex IV of the Machinery Directive. This standard contains the German version of EN 1870-1:2013 which has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 142 "Woodworking machines - Safety" of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). During the preparation the national interests were represented by Working Committee NA 060-06-01 AA "Holzbearbeitungsmaschinen - Sicherheit" ("Woodworking machines - Safety") at Technical Section "Woodworking machines" of the Mechanical Engineering Standards Committee (NAM) at DIN. Representatives of manufacturers and users of table band saws and band re-saws and of the employers' liability insurance associations contributed to this standard.
