Machine tools - Safety - Sawing machines for cold metal
1.1 This standard specifies 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.
1.2 This standard takes into account the intended use, reasonably foreseeable misuse, machine setting and blade fitting, maintenance and cleaning, and their effects on the safety of operators and other exposed persons. It presumes access to the machine from all directions at floor level and addresses both normal operation and unexpected or unintended starting.
1.3 This standard applies to the ancillary devices which form an integral part of the machine. Where such devices are not an integral part of the machine, the designer, manufacturer or supplier of the installation should take into account their intended use, and should make provision for the safe linking of such devices with the machine.
1.4 This standard applies to (metal) sawing machines which are manufactured after the date of publication by CEN of this standard.

1.1 Diese Norm legt die technischen Sicherheitsanforderungen und -maßnahmen fest, die von Personen zu beachten sind, die mit der Konstruktion, dem Bau und der Lieferung (einschließlich Installation, Aufstellung, Wartung und Reparatur) von Maschinen, wie sie in 3.2 definiert sind, deren hauptsächliche Verwendung das Sägen mittels eines Sägeblattes, von kaltem Metall (Eisen- und Nichteisenmetalle) oder Material, das teilweise aus kaltem Metall besteht, ist.
1.2 Diese Norm berücksichtigt die bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung, einschließlich des vernünftigerweise vorher-sehbaren Missbrauchs, Instandhaltung und Einrichten, Sägeblatt-Montage und Reinigung und deren Auswirkungen auf die Sicherheit des Bedieners und andere gefährdete Personen. Sie setzt den Zugang zur Maschine von allen Seiten vom Fußboden aus voraus, und bezieht sich sowohl auf den üblichen Gebrauch als auch das unerwartete oder unbeabsichtigte Anlaufen.
1.3 Diese Norm gilt auch für zusätzliche Einrichtungen die ein integraler Bestandteil der Maschine sind. Wenn diese Einrichtungen kein integraler Bestandteil der Maschine sind, muss der Konstrukteur, Hersteller oder Lieferant deren bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung beachten und für eine sichere Anbindung dieser Einrichtungen an die Maschine sorgen.
1.4 Diese Norm ist anwendbar auf (Metall-)Sägemaschinen, die nach dem Datum der Veröffentlichung dieser Norm durch CEN hergestellt wurden.

1.2 La présente norme tient compte de l'utilisation normale, du mauvais usage raisonnablement prévisible, du réglage des machines et de la fixation de la lame, de l'entretien et du nettoyage, ainsi que de leurs effets sur la sécurité des opérateurs et des autres personnes exposées. Elle présume de l'accès à la machine dans toutes les directions au niveau du sol et traite à la fois du fonctionnement normal et d'une mise en marche inattendue ou intempestive.
1.3 La présente norme s'applique aux dispositifs auxiliaires qui font partie intégrante de la machine. Lorsque ces dispositifs ne font pas partie intégrante de la machine, il convient que le concepteur, le fabricant ou le fournisseur de l'installation tiennent compte de leur utilisation normale, et prévoient la liaison en toute sécurité de ces dispositifs avec la machine.

started by the operator
3.5
semi-automatic or single-cycle machine
machine in which the power-operated elements perform a single cycle initiated by the operator

power-operated work material feeding device in which the work material is fed by a roller or rollers, such
devices can incorporate work piece gripping and length measuring systems
3.10 Kinds of sawing processes
3.10.1

3.12.1
recirculating system
metalworking fluid system with collection and pumped recirculation of the fluid
3.12.2

due to the small consumption
3.13
metalworking fluid
fluid to cool and lubricate the sawing process (e.g. oil, oil mist, alcohol, mixture of oil and water)
4 List of significant hazards
4.1 The list of hazards contained in Table 1 is the result of a hazard identification and risk assessment carried
out as described by EN 1050, for sawing machines covered by the scope of this standard. The safety
requirements and/or protective measures and information for use contained in clauses 5 and 7 are based on
the risk assessment and deal with the identified hazards by either eliminating them or reducing the effects of
the risks they generate.
4.2 The risk assessment assumes foreseeable access from all directions, as well as unexpected start–up.
Risks to both the operators and other persons who can have access to the hazard zones are identified, taking
into account hazards which can occur under various conditions (e.g. commissioning, set–up, production,
maintenance, repair, decommissioning) during the life of the machine. The assessment includes an analysis
of the effect of failure in the control system.
4.3 In addition, the user of this standard (i.e. the designer, manufacturer, supplier) shall validate that the risk
assessment is complete for the machine under consideration with particular attention to:
8
