    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Describes the safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, construction and supply (including installation, setting-up, maintenance, and repair) of machines whose primary intended use is for sawing cold metal (ferrous and non-ferrous), or material partly of cold metal, by means of a saw blade.
