Agricultural and forestry machinery - Combined firewood processors - Safety
Abstract
This document specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of firewood processors, designed to be used for making firewood. Firewood processors are combined machinery that cut and then split the wood. This document covers machines where the cutting is done either by a chain blade or a circular saw, and splitting movement is done horizontally or near horizontally by one or more splitting wedges. If cutting or splitting is done by other means, e.g. by guillotine blade or vertical movement splitting, this document is not applicable. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events relevant to these machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer. Other accessories or added features of firewood processors are not covered by this document.
