IEC 62841-3-1-2021 Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety – Part 3-1: Particular requirements for transportable table saws.
19 Mechanical hazards
This clause of Part 1 is applicable, except as follows:
19.1 Replacement:
Protective enclosures and guards shall not be removable without the aid of a tool. This requirement does not apply to saw blade guards, riving knives, table inserts or saw blade access panels as required by 21 .1 01 .2 and to parts of the dust collection system if they have to be removed in accordance with 8.1 4.2 c) 1 01 ).
NOTE In Europe (EN 62841 -3-1 ), the above paragraph is replaced by:
Protective enclosures and guards shall not be removable without the aid of a tool. This requirement does not apply to saw blade guards, riving knives.
Compliance is checked by inspection.
19.3 Replacement:
It shall not be possible to reach dangerous moving parts through dust collection openings with the detachable part or provisions for dust collection removed, if any.
Compliance is checked by applying a test probe.
To dust collection openings below the table, the test probe B of IEC 61032:1997 is used. The test probe is inserted with a force not exceeding 5 N into the dust collection opening until the probe’s stop face reaches the plane of the dust collection opening and shall not touch hazardous moving parts.
Dust collection openings provided in the saw blade guard above the table, if any, are tested with the probe in Figure 103. The test probe is inserted with a force not exceeding 5 N into the dust collection opening until the probe’s flange reaches the plane of the dust collection opening and shall not touch hazardous moving parts.
19.6 This subclause of Part 1 is applicable.
19.7 This subclause of Part 1 is applicable.
19.7.101 A table saw shall be constructed so that during normal operation it will not tip over or move.
Compliance is checked by the following tests.
The tests are conducted with the table saw placed on a horizontal surface of Medium Density
Fibreboard (MDF) having a density of 650 kg/m 3 to 850 kg/m 3 . If the tool is provided with a stand or extension tables, the tool is tested with or without the stands and extension tables in the worst possible configuration(s).
A push force of 0,4 D is applied to the highest point on the front edge of the table top, in the plane of the saw blade and in the direction of the feed. As a result of this test, the table saw shall not move.
In addition a push force of 1,0 D is applied to the highest point on the front edge of the table top, in the plane of the saw blade and in the direction of the feed. As a result of this test, the table saw may move but shall not tip over.IEC 62841-3-1 pdf download.
