Scope:

IEC 62841-3-9:2020 applies to transportable mitre saws intended to be used with a toothed saw blade for cutting wood and analogous materials, plastics and nonferrous metals except magnesium with a saw blade diameter not exceeding 410 mm, which hereinafter might simply be referred to as saw or tool.

 

This International Standard does not apply to mitre saws intended to cut other metals, such as magnesium, steel and iron. This document does not apply to mitre saws with an automatic feeding device.

This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

- Clause 1: Scope: increase of the maximum saw blade diameter to 410 mm;

- Corrigendum 1 and Corrigendum 2 of the first edition have been incorporated in this second edition.

This Part 3-9 is to be used in conjunction with the IEC 62841-1:2014.

Project need:

This proposed New Edition is being developed at the request of industry members. It will provide the industry with a standard for hand-held motor operated electric tools – transportable mitre saws. This will meet the strategic needs of the following key interests: a) Industry: by ensuring that the latest innovative/technology/safety features are available for users b) Regulators: by providing suitable requirements; and c) Supporting certification bodies.
