ÖNORM EN ISO 19085-4

This international standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 relevant to manually loaded and unloaded vertical panel sawing machines with or without integrated feed, hereinafter referred to as "machines", when they are operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Also transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases are taken into account. The machines may also be fitted with one or more of the following devices/facilities, whose hazards have been dealt with: - the facility for scoring; - an angle cutting device; - a middle support device; - programmable end stops for parallel vertical cuts; - the facility for grooving with a width of at most 20 mm in one pass by using a milling tool; - a panel pusher. The machines are designed for cutting panels consisting of: a) solid wood; b) material with similar physical characteristics as wood; c) composite materials with core consisting e.g. of polyurethane or mineral material laminated with light alloy; d) polymer-matrix composite materials and reinforced thermoplastic / thermoset / elastomeric materials; e) gypsum boards, gypsum bounded fibreboards. This document is not applicable to machines: 1) with pressure beam and saw unit mounted behind the work-piece support; 2) where the guide rails on which the saw unit moves vertically are fixed on the machine frame and the horizontal cut can only be made by manually feeding the panel; 3) designed to cut in vertical direction only; 4) intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere; 5) which are displaceable; 6) automatically performing two or more cutting cycles in sequence; 7) manufactured before the date of its publication as international standard.
