Describes significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to stationary multi-blade rip sawing machines, hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials.

This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 which are relevant to stationary multi-blade rip sawing machines, hereinafter referred to as “machines??, designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials, if they are covered with plastic edging and/or plastic/light alloy laminates, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse; see also 6.3. This European Standard does not apply to machines with vertical roller feed or vertical chain conveyor feed or machines designed to make the first rip cut on a log. This European Standard does not deal with any hazards relating to the combination of single machines with any other machine as part of a line. This European Standard is not applicable to machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN. NOTE Machines covered by this document are listed under 1.3 of the Machinery Directive.
