20、 FROM ULINTRODUCTION1 Scope1.1 These requirements cover walk-behind gasoline-engine-powered, ground-supported edgers andedger-trimmers that employ rigid cutting members, the diameter of which is not more than 12 in (305 mm).1.2 These requirements also cover hand-supported, portable, gasoline-engine-

21、powered edgers having atleast one ground-support and employing a rigid cutting member that has a diameter of not more than 12in (305 mm).1.3 These requirements do not cover gasoline-powered edgers and edger-trimmers that employ a cuttingmeans:a) That has a maximum tip-speed of more than 12,000 surfa

22、ce ft/min (3660 surface m/min); orb) That is made of nonmetallic flexible line.1.4 These requirements do not cover accessories or attachments provided for the purpose of digging orcutting materials other than earth and grass.2 Glossary2.1 BLADE-TIP CIRCLE The path described by the outermost point of

23、 the cutting member as itmoves about its axis.2.2 DEAD-MAN CONTROL A control that automatically interrupts drive to the cutting member whenthe actuating force applied by the operator is removed.2.3 EXPECTED LOADING CONDITION The stress placed on the product and its components whenoperated in accorda

24、nce with the manufacturers operating instructions.2.4 GROUND SUPPORT The means by which the product is maintained in its intended operatingposition or conveyed during use.2.5 GROUND-SUPPORTED PRODUCT A product that, when used as intended by the manufacturer,has at least 50 percent of its weight dire

25、ctly supported by the ground.2.6 GUIDING HANDLE The handle of a hand-supported portable edger by which the operatorsupports the least percentage of product weight. See 2.14.2.7 HAND-SUPPORTED PORTABLE EDGER An edger that, when used as intended by themanufacturer, requires the operator to support mor

26、e than 50 percent of the weight of the product.2.8 MAXIMUM GOVERNED SPEED The maximum speed an engine is capable of attaining aslimited by a governor or other means, and as set by the manufacturer.2.9 NORMAL USE AND MAINTENANCE Those actions performed in application of the product to itsintended pur

27、poses, or for the products continued operation, in accordance with the use and careinstructions provided by the manufacturer with each product.2.10 OPERATING CONTROL Any device necessary for operating the edger or edger-trimmer, suchas an engine-starting and-stopping control, a drive-engaging contro
