UNE-EN ISO 19085-2:2018

This international standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to horizontal beam panel sawing machines with the saw carriage of the front cutting line mounted below the workpiece support, which are manually or mechanically loaded and/or unloaded, hereinafter referred to as machines , when they are operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Also transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases have been taken into account.

The machines may also be fitted with one or more of the following devices/facilities:

a side pressure device;

the facility for scoring;

the facility for post-formed / soft-formed edge pre-cutting;

a panel turning device;

a pushing out device;

pneumatic clamping of the saw blade;

a powered panel loading device;

a grooving device;

additional cutting line(s) inside the machine for longitudinal and/or head cut (before transversal cutting line);

workpiece vacuum clamping as part of a panel turning device or of a panel loading device.

The machines are designed for cutting panels consisting of:

a)solid wood;

b)material with similar physical characteristics to wood;

c)non-ferrous metals, e.g. light alloy;

d)gypsum boards, gypsum bounded fibreboards;

e)composite boards made from the materials listed above;

f)composite materials with core consisting of polyurethane or mineral material laminated with light alloy.

This document is not applicable to machines intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere.

This document does not deal with specific hazards related to:

1)specific features which differ from the dashed list above;

2)the machining of panels with grooving tools;

3)mechanical unloading of panels;

4)the combination of a single machine being used with any other machine (as part of a line).

This international standard applies to machines that are manufactured after the date of issue of this International Standard.
