21、 (305 mm). 1.3 These requirements do not cover gasoline-powered edgers and edger-trimmers that employ a cutting means: a) That has a maximum tip-speed of more than 12,000 surface ft/min (3660 surface m/min); or b) That is made of nonmetallic exible line. 1.4 These requirements do not cover accessori

22、es or attachments provided for the purpose of digging or cutting materials other than earth and grass. 2 Glossary 2.1 BLADE-TIP CIRCLE The path described by the outermost point of the cutting member as it moves about its axis. 2.2 DEAD-MAN CONTROL A control that automatically interrupts drive to the

23、 cutting member when the actuating force applied by the operator is removed. 2.3 EXPECTED LOADING CONDITION The stress placed on the product and its components when operated in accordance with the manufacturers operating instructions. 2.4 GROUND SUPPORT The means by which the product is maintained i

24、n its intended operating position 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 directly supported by the ground. 2.6 GUIDING HANDLE The handle of a hand-supported portable edger by which the oper

25、ator supports the least percentage of product weight. See 2.14. 2.7 HAND-SUPPORTED PORTABLE EDGER An edger that, when used as intended by the manufacturer, requires the operator to support more than 50 percent of the weight of the product. 2.8 MAXIMUM GOVERNED SPEED The maximum speed an engine is ca

26、pable of attaining as limited 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 its intended purposes, or for the products continued operation, in accordance with the use and care instructions provide
