    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Defines mechanical safety requirements and testing for the design and construction of electrically powered walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers, with cutting element(s) of non-metallic filament line or freely pivoting non-metallic cutter(s) with a kinetic energy of not more that 10 J each, and used by a standing operator primarily for cutting grass.
