Scope
"This standard consists of Part 1 and Part 2 and applies to electric motor-operated or magnetically-driven tools@ intended for indoor and for outdoor use@ which have all the following characteristics: a) easily moved by one person@ simple devices to facilitate transportation may be incorporated@ e.g. handles@ wheels and the like; b) used in a safe stationary position with or without fixing@ e.g. fast clamping devices@ bolting and the like; c) used under the control of an operator; d) not intended for continuous production or production line use; e) intended to be connected to electric supply by a flexible cord and a plug; f) maximum rated voltage not exceeding 250 V single-phase@ a.c. or d.c.@ or 440 V three-phase@ a.c.; g) maximum rated input not exceeding 2500 W@ for single-phase a.c. or d.c.@ and 4000 W for three-phase a.c. These tools are commonly known as ""transportable motor-operated electric tools""@ hereinafter referred to@ in the text@ as tools. Examples of these tools are: Circular saws@ band saws@ planers@ thicknessers@ radial arm saws@ spindle moulders@ fret saws@ jig saws@ mitre/chop saws@ wood lathes@ belt sanders@ disc sanders@ thicknessers-planers@ chain mortisers@ multipurpose machines@ combing machines@ metal lathes@ bench grinders@ bench drilling machines@ pipe threaders@ pipe benders@ pipe saws@ key cutting machines@ sharpening machines@ sheet metal shears@ concrete drills@ concrete saws@ wood shredders@ pipe cleaners. This European Standard applies also to transportable motor operated tools intended to be connected to a water supply such as mains@ tank or vat. This standard does not apply to - electric motor-operated household and similar electrical appliances according to EN 60335-1; - hand-held electric motor-operated tools according to EN 50144-1 or EN 60745-1; - small low voltage transformer operated bench tools intended for model making; - machines for preparing or processing food; - tools intended to be used in the presence of explosive atmosphere (dust@ vapour or gas); - tools intended to be used with cosmetics or pharmaceutical products; - auxiliary equipment such as external cooling and dust extraction/collection systems."
