Woodworking machines - Safety - Part 7: Surface planing, thickness planing and combined surface/thickness planing machines
Abstract
This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for — surface planing machines, also called jointers, — thickness planing machines, also called planers or single surface planers, and — combined surface/thickness planing machines with fixed cutter block position, with an integrated feed in thickness planing mode, with or without demountable power feed device in planing mode, with manual loading or unloading of the workpiece or both, and capable of continuous production use, altogether referred to as "machines". The machines are designed to cut solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood (see ISO DIS 19085-1:2025, 3.2). This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations or hazardous events, listed in Annex A, relevant to the machines when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable. This document is also applicable to the other life cycle phases of the machines: transport, assembly, adjustment, maintenance, disabling, dismantling and scrapping. This document is also applicable to surface planing machines and combined surface/thickness planing machines fitted with an optional mortising device, whose hazards have been dealt with. This document does not apply to: a) machines with more than one cutter block; b) machines with a mortising unit driven by a separate motor; c) machines where the cutter block is adjustable for depth of cut setting in thickness planing mode; d) machines where the conversion from planing to thickness planing mode or vice versa is achieved by mounting or demounting parts or units; e) machines where surface planing and thickness planing can be performed at the same time; f) machines with more than one anti-kickback device; g) machines intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere; h) machines manufactured prior to the publication of this document.
