This document deals with all the significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4
which are relevant to edge banding machines fed by chain(s) where the loading and unloading is manual and
where the maximum work-piece height capacity is 75 mm. The machine is designed to process in one pass,
one end (single end machine) or both ends (double end machine) of solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard or
plywood and also these materials where they are covered with plastic laminate or edgings. The work-piece is
fed through the processing units by an integrated feed. For the purpose of this document an edge banding
machine fed by chain(s) is hereinafter referred to as the machine.
deleted text
This document does not apply to single and double end edge banding machines fed by chain or chains with a
complete enclosure as defined in 3.3.10.
This document does not deal with any hazards relating to:
a) mechanical loading of the work-piece to a single machine; or
b) single machine being used in combination with any other machine (as part of a line); or
c) use of tools working between the machine halves (see 3.3.1); or
d) use of laser.
For Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines this document does not cover hazards related to
Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC).
NOTE The requirements of this document apply to all machines whatever their method of control e.g.
electromechanical and/or electronic.
This document is primarily directed to machines which are manufactured after the date of publication by CEN.
