EN 1218-2:2004

EN 1218-2:2004 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Safety of woodworking machines - Tenoning machines - Part 2: Double end tenoning and/or profiling machines fed by chain or chains". This standard covers: This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and/or limit the risks on double end tenoning and/or profiling machines fed by chain or chains, hereinafter referred to as the machine, designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard or plywood and also these materials where they are covered with plastic laminate or edgings. The workpiece is fed passed the tools by an integrated feed. This European Standard covers the hazards relevant to these machines as stated in Cclause 4. This European Standard does not apply to: a) double end tenoning and/or profiling machines fed by chain or chains with a complete enclosure as defined in Cclause 3.2.11; b) transportable machines. This European Standard does not deal with any hazards relating to: c) the mechanical loading of the workpiece to a single machine; or d) a single machine being used in combination with any other machine (as part of a line); or e) the use of tools working between the machine halves (see Cclause 3.1); or f) the use of laser. For Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machines this European Standard does not cover hazards related to Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC). NOTE 1 The requirements of this European Standard apply to all machines whatever their method of control e.g. electromechanical and/or electronic. This European Standard is primarily directed to machines which are manufactured after the date of publication by CEN. NOTE 2 Single end tenoning machines with sliding table are dealt with in EN 1218-1:1999. Single end tenoning machines where the tenon is produced only by means of sawblades are dealt with in EN 1218-3. Single end profiling machines fed by chain or chains are dealt with in prEN 1218-5.
