Foreword

The text of the International Standard IEC 61029-2-3:1993 + A1:2001, prepared by SC 61F (transformed into TC 116, Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools), together with the common modifications prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 116 (former TC 61F), Safety of hand-held motor-operated electric tools, was submitted to the CENELEC Formal Vote and was approved by CENELEC as EN 61029-2-3 on 2011-02-14

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights CEN and CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights

The following dates are proposed:

– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented

at national level by publication of an identical

national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2012-02-14

– latest date by which the national standards conflicting

with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2014-02-14

This European Standard is divided into two parts:

Part 1 General requirements that are common to most transportable electric motor operated tools

(for the purpose of this European Standard referred to simply as tools) which could come within the scope of this European Standard;

Part 2 Requirements for particular types of tool which either supplement or modify the requirements

given in Part 1 to account for the particular hazards and characteristics of these specific tools

This European Standard has been prepared under Mandate M/396 given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and covers essential requirements

of EU Directive 2006/42/EC See Annex ZZ

Compliance with the relevant clauses of Part 1 together with this Part 2-3 provides one means of conforming with the specified essential requirements of the Directives The requirements defined in

EN ISO 12100 are also dealt with in this European Standard

For noise and vibration this European Standard covers the requirements for their measurement, the provision of information arising from these measurements and the provision of information about the personal protective equipment required Specific requirements for the reduction of the risk arising from noise and vibration through the design of the tool are not given as this reflects the current state of the art

Warning: Other requirements arising from other European Directives can be applicable to the

products falling within the scope of this European Standard

This Part 2-3 is to be used in conjunction with EN 61029-1:2009 This Part 2-3 supplements or modifies the corresponding clauses of EN 61029-1, so as to convert it into the European Standard:

“Safety of transportable motor-operated electric tools – Part 2-3: Particular requirements for planers and thicknessers”

Where a particular clause or subclause of Part 1 is not mentioned in this Part 2-3, that clause or subclause applies as far as is reasonable Where this Part 2-3 states "addition", "modification" or

"replacement", the relevant text of Part 1 is to be adapted accordingly

Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables and figures which are additional to those in Part 1 are numbered starting from 101

Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables and figures which are additional to those in EN 61029-2-3 are prefixed “Z”

NOTE In this standard the following print types are used:

- requirements proper: in roman type

- test specifications: in italic type;

- explanatory matter: in smaller roman type
