This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause4 which are relevant to circular sawing machines for firewood with manual loading and/or unloading with hand operated carriage, hereinafter referred to as “machines”, designed to cut solid wood when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. This European Standard is not applicable to: combined circular sawing machines for firewood with additional units, i.e. log splitting units or circular saw bench units; NOTE1 Circular saw benches are dealt with in EN1870‑19:2013 . NOTE2 Log splitting machines are dealt with in EN609‑1:2017 and EN609‑2:1999+A1:2009 . NOTE3 A draft is under consideration to cover “combined firewood processors”. machines where the saw blade is capable of tilting; log sawing machines where the saw unit moves to cut the workpiece; hand-held motor-operated electric tools or any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e. bench mounting; NOTE4 Hand-held motor-operated electric tools and saw benches to form an integrated whole with a hand-held motor-operated electric tools are covered by EN62841‑1:2015 together with EN60745‑2‑5:2010 . For RIC engines driven machines hazard of engine electrical starting systems above 24V are not dealt with in this standard. This document is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. NOTE5 Machines covered by this document are listed under 1.1 and/or 1.2 of AnnexIV of the Machinery Directive.
