Introduction

This European Standard is a Type C-standard as stated in !EN ISO 12100-1:2003"

The machinery concerned and the extent to which hazards are covered are indicated in the scope of this

European Standard

1 Scope

This European Standard applies to !deleted text" pedestrian controlled floor sawing machines having

power feed, manual feed or hand feed (see 3.2) for sawing, grooving and milling floor surfaces made of

concrete, asphalt and similar mineral building materials where the main power is supplied by electric or

internal combustion prime engine The power transmission of floor sawing machines is mechanical or

hydraulic

This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to floor sawing machines, when they are

used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4) This European

Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant

hazards

These machines are designed for use with rotating cutting-off wheels for wet and dry cutting These cutting-off

wheels can be either a diamond cutting-off wheel or a boron nitride cutting-off wheel

NOTE Other types of cutting tools may also be used provided that they fall within the design and usage parameters

of the machine This standard does not cover this

This European Standard does not apply to:

!

 self-propelled ride-on floor sawing machines;"

 machines moving along a rail;

 hand-held portable cutting off machines for construction materials mounted on a mobile support, to be

used as floor saws;

 remote controlled machines

This European Standard covers electrical hazards by making reference to relevant European Standards (see

5.2)

Those hazards that are relevant for all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and other equipment or machinery and

that are dealt with in standards for common use are not covered by this European Standard Reference to

pertinent standards is made where such standards are applicable and so far necessary

In this European Standard, floor sawing machines are called "machines", and cutting-off wheels are called

“tools”
