17、sawsReciprocating saws do not require a guard for the part of the saw blade which performs the sawing and is situated below the guide plate. The part of the saw blade which is situated above the guide plate shall be protected by a guard or the design shall be such that the risk of contact with the t

18、eeth of the blade and with moving parts of the mechanism is prevented.4.2.8 Power tool constructionThe circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw shall be so designed and constructed as to prevent the loosening or loss of components during expected use, including rough handling and occasional droppi

19、ng, which can compromise its safety functions. Verification shall be carried out in accordance with 5.6.4.2.9 Riving knifeCircular saws intended for cutting wood shall be provided with a riving knife. The riving knife shall not be thicker than the width of the cutting groove nor thinner than the saw

20、 blade body. For more detailed specifications, see IEC 60745-2-5.4.2.10 Blade mounting device Reciprocating sawsThe blade mounting device shall be capable of holding the blade securely during operation and shall have the blade-holding mechanism so constructed as to minimize the likelihood of pinch p

21、oints during intended use of the tool.4.3 Thermal safetySurface temperatures of parts of the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw, which are held during use or that can be inadvertently touched, shall follow the provisions of ISO 13732-1 and ISO 13732-3.Pneumatic tools shall be so designed to

22、minimize the cooling effects of exhaust air on the handles and other gripping zones.4.4 Noise reductionThe circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw shall be designed and constructed so that the emission of noise is reduced to the lowest level, taking account of technical progress and the availabil

23、ity of means of reducing noise, in particular at source. Principles for designing circular, oscillating and reciprocating saws with reduced noise emission are contained in ISO/TR 11688-1 and ISO/TR 11688-2.DIN EN ISO 11148-12:2013-05 EN ISO 11148-12:2012 (E) 14The noise emission from using circular,

24、 oscillating and reciprocating saws has three main sources: the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw itself; the inserted tool; the workpiece.NOTE Generally the noise emitted due to the characteristics of the workpiece cannot be controlled directly by the manufacturer of the circular, oscillat

25、ing or reciprocating saw.Typical sources of noise emitted by the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw itself area) the motor and drive mechanism,b) the exhaust air or gases, andc) vibration or impact-induced noise.Where the exhaust air or gases are the major contributor to the noise, means to

26、reduce the noise, for example a silencer or equivalent means, shall be included in the design.Alternatively, where practicable, the exhaust air or gases can be piped away from the operator in a hose.Vibration-induced noise can often be reduced by vibration isolation and damping.This list is not exha

27、ustive; where alternative technical measures for noise reduction, with greater efficiency, are available, they should be used by the manufacturer.4.5 VibrationThe circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw shall be designed and constructed so that the vibration is reduced to the lowest level at the

28、handles and at any other parts of the tool in contact with the operators hands, taking account of technical progress and the availability of means of reducing vibration, in particular at source. Principles for designing circular, oscillating and reciprocating saws with reduced vibration emission are

29、 contained in CR 1030-1.Typical sources of vibration emitted by a circular, oscillating and reciprocating saws are unbalance of rotating parts, poorly designed motors and gears, and resonances in the structure of the machine, particularly the handles and their mounts.The following design features ha

30、ve been found to be effective and should be considered by manufacturers whenever designing circular, oscillating and reciprocating saws:a) autobalancers;b) increasing inertia;c) isolated casing or handles.This list is not exhaustive; where alternative technical measures for vibration reduction, with

31、 greater efficiency, are available, they should be used by the manufacturer.DIN EN ISO 11148-12:2013-05 EN ISO 11148-12:2012 (E) 154.6 Materials and substances processed, used or exhausted4.6.1 Exhaust air or gasCircular, oscillating and reciprocating saws driven with compressed air or gas shall be

32、designed in such a way that exhaust air or gases are directed so as not to cause a hazard to the operator and so that any other effects, such as blowing the dust and reflected air or gas from the workpiece on to the operator, are minimized.4.6.2 Dust and fumesSo far as is reasonably practicable, the

33、 circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw shall be designed to facilitate the collection and removal or suppression of airborne dust particles and fumes generated by the work process. The user instructions shall include sufficient information to enable adequate control of the risks from dust and f

34、umes.4.6.3 LubricantsWhere specifying lubricants, the manufacturer shall take environmental and occupational health aspects into account.4.7 Ergonomics4.7.1 Design of the handleGripping areas of the circular, oscillating and reciprocating saws shall be designed to provide convenient, effective means

36、ly and to perform the expected work. Handles shall suit the functional anatomy of the hand and the dimensions of the hands of the operator population.NOTE Further guidance on ergonomic design principles can be found in EN 614-1.Circular, oscillating and reciprocating saws having a mass greater than

37、2 kg (including the inserted tool) shall be capable of being supported by two hands while being lifted or operated.The grip shall be such that normal feed force and reaction torque can be transmitted in an ergonomic way from the hand of the operator to the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw.

38、The strength of a removable handle and the nature of fixing it shall be appropriate to the intended principal use.4.7.2 Suspension deviceProvision should be made, where appropriate, to enable the attachment to the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw of a suspension device in order to reduce,

39、where practicable, the physical strain placed on the operator by the weight of the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw. The fitting of a suspension device shall not introduce an additional hazard.4.8 Controls4.8.1 Start-and-stop deviceCircular, oscillating and reciprocating saws shall be equi

40、pped with a single control device to start or stop them. It shall be adapted to the handle, or to the part of the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw being gripped, so that it can be held comfortably in the run position, and so that the operator can activate it without releasing the grip on t

41、he handles.DIN EN ISO 11148-12:2013-05 EN ISO 11148-12:2012 (E) 16Start-and-stop devices shall be so designed that the inserted tool ceases to be powered when the start-and-stop device is released. Without manual effort and whenever completely released, the device shall move to the stop position, i.

42、e. shall be of the hold-to-run type.Start-and-stop devices shall be in the stop position or immediately move to the stop position whenever the circular, oscillating or reciprocating saw is connected to the energy supply.It shall not be possible to lock the start-and-stop device in the running positi
