Tools for woodworking - Safety requirements - Part 1: Milling tools, circular saw blades (includes Amendment A1:2007); English version of DIN EN 847-1:2007-11
This document specifies all hazards arising from the design of tools for woodworking machines, and describes the
methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards by tool design and by the provision of information. This
document deals with milling tools (bore mounted, shank mounted, integrated spindle) and c~rcular saw blades, but
does not cover any hazard related to the strength of shank of shank mounted milling tools. The hazards are listed in
Clause 5. This document does not apply to boring bits, eccentric single router cutters, cutters with cutting circle less
than 16 mm and to tools used in rotary knife lathes and copying lathes where the hazard of ejection and contact with
the tool is always prevented by a system of fixed guards and/or movable guards interlocked with guard-locking and/or
self-closing guards.
