This International Standard deals with the safety of mains-operated walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers, with cutting element(s) of non-metallic filament line or freely pivoting non-metallic cutter(s), with a kinetic energy of not more than 10 J each, used by a standing operator for cutting grass, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for single-phase appliances and 480 V for other appliances. NOTE 101 In this standard hand-held and walk-behind lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers are referred to collectively as appliances. As far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by appliances that are encountered by all persons in and around the home. However, in general, it does not take into account – the use of appliances by young children or infirm persons without supervision;– playing with the appliance by young children. NOTE 102 Attention is drawn to the fact that – in many countries additional requirements are specified by the national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water supply authorities and similar authorities.NOTE 103 This standard does not apply to– to scissor type or rigid bladed lawn trimmers or lawn edge trimmers.
