ÖNORM EN 861

This document specifies all significant hazards, hazardous situation and events as listed in Clause 4 relevant to stationary and displaceable surface planing and thicknessing machines with an integrated feed in thicknessing mode, (with or without demountable power feed unit in planning mode) and with manual loading and unloading of the work-piece, hereinafter referred to as "machines". The cutterblock is fixed in position and for thicknessing an integrated feed is provided. The machines are designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard and plywood when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Machines which are designed to work wood based materials may also be used for thicknessing hardened plastic materials with similar physical characteristics as wood. This document does not deal with any hazards which result from the attachment of an optional mortising unit. These hazards are covered by EN 940:2009+A1:2012.
