CEI EN 61029-2-9

This standard consists of Part 1 and Part 2 and applies to
electric motor-operated or magnetically-driven tools, intended for
indoor and for outdoor use, which have all the following
characteristics:

a) easily moved by one person, simple devices to facilitate
transportation may be incorporated, e.g. handles, wheels and the
like;

b) used in a safe stationary position with or without fixing,
e.g. fast clamping devices, bolting and the like;

c) used under the control of an operator;

d) not intended for continuous production or production line
use;

e) intended to be connected to electric supply by a flexible
cord and a plug;

f) maximum rated voltage not exceeding 250 V single-phase, a.c.
or d.c., or 440 V three-phase, a.c.;

g) maximum rated input not exceeding 2500 W, for single-phase
a.c. or d.c., and 4000 W for three-phase a.c.

These tools are commonly known as "transportable motor-operated
electric tools", hereinafter referred to, in the text, as
tools.

Examples of these tools are: Circular saws, band saws, planers,
thicknessers, radial arm saws, spindle moulders, fret saws, jig
saws, mitre/chop saws, wood lathes, belt sanders, disc sanders,
thicknessers-planers, chain mortisers, multipurpose machines,
combing machines, metal lathes, bench grinders, bench drilling
machines, pipe threaders, pipe benders, pipe saws, key cutting
machines, sharpening machines, sheet metal shears, concrete drills,
concrete saws, wood shredders, pipe cleaners.

This European Standard applies also to transportable motor
operated tools intended to be connected to a water supply such as
mains, tank or vat.

This standard does not apply to

– electric motor-operated household and similar electrical
appliances according to EN 60335-1;

– hand-held electric motor-operated tools according to EN
50144-1 or EN 60745-1;

– small low voltage transformer operated bench tools
intended for model making;

– machines for preparing or processing food;

– tools intended to be used in the presence of explosive
atmosphere (dust, vapour or gas);

– tools intended to be used with cosmetics or
pharmaceutical products;

– auxiliary equipment such as external cooling and dust
extraction/collection systems.

Addition:

This European Standard applies to transportable mitre saws with
a saw blade diameter not exceeding 350 mm, intended for cutting
wood and analogous materials, plastics and non-ferrous metals
except magnesium.

Addition:

This European Standard does not apply to transportable mitre
saws used to cut ferrous metal or magnesium.

This standard does not apply to mitre saws other than
transportable.

NOTE 1 EN 1870-3 gives requirements for mitre saws for cutting
wood other than transportable.

This standard does not apply to tools combining the function of
a mitre saw with the function of a circular saw bench.

NOTE 2 Transportable tools combining the function of a mitre saw
with the function of a circular saw bench are covered by EN
61029-2-11.
