Woodworking machines - Safety - Part 9 : circular saw benches (with and without sliding table)
This document gives the safety requirements and measures for stationary and displaceable circular saw benches (with or without sliding table and/or demountable power feed unit), also known as "table saws" (in the USA), hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood.NOTE 1 For the definition of stationary and displaceable machine, see ISO 19085‑1:2017, 3.4 and 3.5.It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 relevant to these 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 are taken into account.NOTE 2 For relevant but not significant hazards, e.g. sharp edges of the machine frame, see ISO 12100:2010.It is also applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices, or working unit, whose hazards have been dealt with:— device for the main saw blade and scoring saw blade to be raised and lowered through the table;— device to tilt the main saw blade and scoring saw blade for angled cutting;— device for scoring;— device for grooving with milling tool with a width not exceeding 20 mm in one pass;— demountable power feed unit;— additional manually operated sliding table;— powered work-piece clamping device.NOTE 3 Circular saw benches are used for ripping, cross cutting, dimensioning and grooving.This document does not apply to:a) transportable/displaceable machines intended for outdoor use on building sites;NOTE 4 Building site saws (contractor saws) are covered by the requirements of ISO 19085‑10:2018.b) hand held woodworking machines including any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e. bench mounting;c) machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere;d) machines manufactured before the date of its publication as an International Standard;e) transportable machines with a maximum saw blade diameter of ≤315 mm.NOTE 5 Transportable motor-operated electric tools are dealt with in IEC 62841‑1:2014 and IEC 62841‑3‑1:2014.

NOTE 1 For the definition of stationary and displaceable machine, see ISO 19085‑1:2017, 3.4 and 3.5.
It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 relevant to these 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 are taken into account.
NOTE 2 For relevant but not significant hazards, e.g. sharp edges of the machine frame, see ISO 12100:2010.
It is also applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices, or working unit, whose hazards have been dealt with:
— device for the main saw blade and scoring saw blade to be raised and lowered through the table;
— device to tilt the main saw blade and scoring saw blade for angled cutting;
— device for scoring;
— device for grooving with milling tool with a width not exceeding 20 mm in one pass;
— demountable power feed unit;
— additional manually operated sliding table;
— powered work-piece clamping device.
NOTE 3 Circular saw benches are used for ripping, cross cutting, dimensioning and grooving.
This document does not apply to:
a) transportable/displaceable machines intended for outdoor use on building sites;
NOTE 4 Building site saws (contractor saws) are covered by the requirements of ISO 19085‑10:2018.
b) hand held woodworking machines including any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e. bench mounting;
c) machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere;
d) machines manufactured before the date of its publication as an International Standard;
e) transportable machines with a maximum saw blade diameter of ≤315 mm.
NOTE 5 Transportable motor-operated electric tools are dealt with in IEC 62841‑1:2014 and IEC 62841‑3‑1:2014.
Le présent document détermine les prescriptions de sécurité pour les scies circulaires à table de menuisier (avec et sans table mobile) et scies de chantier, conçues pour la coupe de bois massif, de panneaux de particules, de panneaux de fibres, de contreplaqué recouverts ou non de matière plastique/alliage léger. Les scies à table de menuisier et les scies de chantier sont utilisées pour le délignage, pour le tronçonnage et pour la coupe au format. Pour le rainurage, seules les scies à table de menuisier sont utilisés. Le présent document ne s'applique ni aux machines montés sur un établi qui peuvent être soulevés à la main par une seule personne, ni aux machines à bois portatives. Il est destiné à venir en appui à la directive "Machines" 2006/42/CE.
This document specifies the safety requirements and measures for circular saw benches with or without sliding table or demountable power feed unit or both and capable of continuous production use, also known as “table saws” (in the USA), hereinafter referred to also as “machines”. The machines are designed to cut solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood (see ISO 19085-1:2021, 3.2). This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Annex A relevant to the machines when operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer; reasonably foreseeable misuse has been considered too. Transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases have also been taken into account. This document is also applicable to machines fitted with one or more of the following devices or working units, whose hazards have been dealt with: — device for the main saw blade and scoring saw blade to be raised and lowered through the table; — device to tilt the main saw blade and scoring saw blade for angled cutting; — device for scoring; — device for grooving with milling tool with a width not exceeding 20 mm in one pass; — demountable power feed unit; — additional manually operated sliding table; — powered workpiece clamping device. This document does not apply to: a) machines intended for outdoor use on building sites; NOTE Building site saws (contractor saws) are covered by the requirements of ISO 19085-10:2018. b) handheld woodworking machines including any adaptation permitting their use in a different mode, i.e. bench mounting; c) machines intended for use in a potentially explosive atmosphere; d) machines manufactured prior to the publication of this document.
