electric tools), together with the common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 116 (former TC 61F), Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, was submitted to the CENELEC Formal Vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61029-2-3 on 2011-02-14 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights The following dates are proposed: – – latest date by which the EN has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the EN have to be withdrawn (dop) 2012-02-14 (dow) 2014-02-14 This European Standard is divided into two parts: Part General requirements that are common to most transportable electric motor operated tools (for the purpose of this European Standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the scope of this European Standard; Part Requirements for particular types of tool which either supplement or modify the requirements given in Part to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools This European Standard has been prepared under Mandate M/396 given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements of EU Directive 2006/42/EC See Annex ZZ Compliance with the relevant clauses of Part together with this Part 2-3 provides one means of conforming with the specified essential requirements of the Directives The requirements defined in EN ISO 12100 are also dealt with in this European Standard For noise and vibration this European Standard covers the requirements for their measurement, the provision of information arising from these measurements and the provision of information about the personal protective equipment required Specific requirements for the reduction of the risk arising from noise and vibration through the design of the tool are not given as this reflects the current state of the art Warning: Other requirements arising from other European Directives can be applicable to the products falling within the scope of this European Standard This Part 2-3 is to be used in conjunction with EN 61029-1:2009 This Part 2-3 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 61029-1, so as to convert it into the European Standard: “Safety of transportable motor-operated electric tools – Part 2-3: Particular requirements for planers

bridge is set to its low position and to a position where it covers the full width capacity of the machine, unless otherwise specified ZA.1 Deflection of the bridge support A test force F of 80 N is applied in accordance with Figure ZA.2 to the bridge support, parallel to the cutter block rotational axis The deflection "a" is measured along the same axis as that of force F ZA.1.1 Test method Take up any free play in the assembly by applying a force of 20 N to the bridge support in the opposite direction to force F The position reached will be the origin for measurement Remove the force Apply and remove a force of 50 N to the bridge support in the direction of F Measure the play (deviation from the origin) Apply a test force F = 80 N to the bridge support and measure the deflection "a" ZA.1.2 Test result After the force is released, the guard support should return to the rest position obtained in ZA.1.1, second paragraph The guard passes the test, if the requirements of the Figure ZA.2 are met ZA.2 Measuring the free play of the bridge in its support Lock the bridge in position using the device designed for this purpose Apply to the bridge forces F1 and F2 of N parallel to the tables in a plane perpendicular to the cutter block rotational axis at a point located at 10 mm from the end of the bridge The deflection "b" is measured at the application point of force F or F2, see Figure ZA.3 ZA.2.1 Test method Apply and remove force F1 The bridge position reached will be the origin for measurements Apply and remove the force F2 Measure the free play "b" (deviation from the origin) ZA.2.2 Test result The guard passes the test, if the requirements of Figure ZA.3 are met ZA.3 Bridge blockage Lock the bridge in position using the device designed for this purpose BS EN 61029-2-3:2011 – 29 – EN 61029-2-3:2011 A test force F3 of 80 N is applied to the bridge as shown in Figure ZA.2 The direction of F3 is the same as for F (see ZA.1) The bridge shall not slide in its support ZA.4 Friction test The test only applies, if the guard is equipped with a device that automatically returns the bridge to its preset position Adjust the guard to be in a position at approximately half the maximum work piece height capacity of the machine Friction is considered to be correctly adjusted at delivery ZA.4.1 Test method Note the position of the control lever Manually push the bridge vertically until it comes into contact with the tables Release the bridge Let it return to the position to which it was initially adjusted and monitor the position of the lever after release Carry out the manoeuvre five times Check the position of the lever ZA.4.2 Test result The guard passes the test, if upon release the position of the control lever has not changed ZA.5 Ergonomic characteristics The force necessary to move the bridge in its support when unclamped for adjustment shall be less than or equal to N Angular movement of the control lever to clamp the bridge shall not exceed 35° ZA.6 Bridge strength test The test consists of dropping a load on to the bridge and then inspecting the bridge for damage Figure ZA.4 gives a schematic diagram of the test apparatus The contact diameter of the load is 100 mm and its mass is kg The bridge is fixed on a stable steel surface For machines of useful cutting width less than or equal to 200 mm, the load height of fall is 200 mm (16 J) Bridge protected machines of greater useful width than 200 mm are tested using a load height of 300 mm (24 J) The guard passes the test, if the bridge shows no sign of fissure or fracture which would diminish its initial characteristics ZA.7 Side impact resistance test This test is based on a mistaken manipulation of a kg work piece which impacts the front of the guard The theoretical energy at the moment of impact is set for J BS EN 61029-2-3:2011 EN 61029-2-3:2011 – 30 – Adjust the bridge to its upper limit and lock it transversely The impact takes places on the bridge at the vertical to the edge of the tables along a width of 80 mm, see Figure ZA.5 The energy necessary for carrying out the test may, e.g., be obtained using a ram represented in Figure ZA.6 The hardness of the material of which the impact piece is made shall be of beech wood The height of fall "A" for the ram centre is 122 mm The test is passed, if the guard assembly has no permanent deformation and if its operation is unaffected Slight signs of damage at the point of impact are, however, tolerated BS EN 61029-2-3:2011 – 31 – Key planing width infeed table slot width outfeed table
