This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2004, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2004. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of EC Directive(s). For relationship with EC Directives, see informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. Annexes A and B are normative. Annexes C and D are informative. This document includes a Bibliography. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. 0Introduction This standard is a type 'C' standard (see introduction of EN 2921:1991) which applies to sawing machines. The extent to which significant hazards are covered by this standard is indicated in the scope of this standard. In addition, sawing machines should comply, as appropriate, with EN 2921 and 2 for hazards which are not covered by this standard. Complementary requirements and guidance are given in type A and type B standards to which reference is made in the text. The figures are intended to be examples and not to give the only interpretation of the text. 1 Scope 1.1 This standard specifies the safety requirements and measures to be adopted by persons undertaking the design, construction and supply (including installation, settingup, 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.

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. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter.
