This clause of Part 1 is replaced by the following.
This standard deals with the safety of electric powered hand-held scissors type grass
shears with a maximum cutting width of 200 mm designed primarily for cutting grass, their
rated voltage being not more than 250 V for a.c. or 50 V d.c.
The term “grass shear” within this standard means “electric powered scissors type grass
shear”.
So far as is practicable, this standard deals with the common hazards presented by grass
shears which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable
misuse.
NOTE 101 Attention is drawn to the fact that in many countries, additional requirements are specified by the
national health authorities, the national authorities responsible for the protection of labour, the national water
supply authorities and similar authorities.
Requirements for chargers are covered by IEC 60335-2-29.
EMC and environmental aspects except for noise have not been considered in this standard.
