The test load shall be applied to the saw blade guard at
the upper edge of the lead-in when the saw blade guard is
lowered to the machine table and the saw unit is adjusted
to the maximum cutting height for which the machine is
designed (see Figure G.3).
The measuring point for the deflection is at the same level
as the application point of the load.
The deflection D of the saw blade guard shall be ≤ 15 mm
under a test load F of 5 N for circular saw benches and
building site saws with a maximum saw blade diameter of
315 mm. For building site saws with a maximum saw
blade diameter over 315 mm the deflection D shall not
exceed 8 mm under a test load F of 20 N.
The saw blade shall not touch the guard.
