This European Standard deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4, which are relevant to stationary four sided moulding machines with a maximum working width of 350 mm and a maximum speed of the integrated work-piece feed of 200 m/min, with electrical and/or electronic control system, hereafter referred to as “machines” designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials where these are covered with plastic laminate or edgings when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer, including reasonably foreseeable misuse of the machine (see 6.3 c)). For the definition of a stationary machine, see 3.22. This European Standard deals also with hazards relating to the following optional work units: – universal spindle; – glass bead cutting unit. This European Standard is not applicable to machines designed for machining logs which have not previously been machined. This European Standard does not deal with any hazards relating to: a) in-feed devices (magazines, hoppers, etc.); for mechanical in-feed devices which also prevent access to the in-feed opening, see 5.3.7.2; b) the combination of single machines with any other machine as part of a line; c) out-feed devices (e.g. mechanical handling systems) except for hazards related to ejection from the machine due to climb cutting. This European Standard is not applicable to four sided moulding machines which are manufactured before the date of its publication as EN.
