Defines safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of pedestrian controlled walk-behind electrically powered lawnmowers.

This clause of Part1 is replaced by the following.

This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of pedestrian controlled walk-behind electrically powered lawnmowers. This standard applies in conjunction with EN60335-1.

This European Standard does not apply to

• lawn trimmers, lawn edge trimmers, lawn edgers, flail mowers, scrub cutters, automatic (robot) lawn mowers, sickle-bar mowers, agricultural mowers, trailing seat/sulky units, ride-on machines or non-powered lawnmowers

• rotary lawnmowers for which the cutting means is a generally circular central drive unit on which is mounted, either one or more non-metallic filaments or one or more non-metallic, pivotally mounted cutting elements. These cutting elements rely on centrifugal force to achieve cutting, with the kinetic energy of a single cutting element not exceeding 10J,

• battery powered lawnmowers with a rated voltage of the battery more than 42V d.c.

Requirements for battery chargers, including those incorporated into the machine are dealt with in EN60335-2-29.

This European Standard is not applicable to lawnmowers, which are manufactured before the date of publication of this document by CENELEC.

NOTE Combustion engine driven machines are covered by EN836.
