Test Report No.: 17702074 003
Part I of II
control for the spindle brake has been reset. Reset of the
control for brake shall not initiate a start-up of the
machine.
The safety related part of the control system for brake
release shall conform at least to PL=c in accordance with
the requirements of EN ISO 13849-1:2008.
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings, inspection
of the machine and relevant functional testing of the
machine.
Devices to minimize the possibility or the effect of
kickback
The machine shall be supplied with a riving knife
mounting arrangement and a riving knife/riving knives to
accommodate the range of saw blades which are
intended for use with the machine (see 6.3 o) and p)).
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and
inspection of the machine.
The riving knife and its mounting arrangement shall be in
accordance with the following requirements:
a) riving knives shall be manufactured from steel with an
ultimate tensile strength of 580 N mm
-2
or of a
comparable material, have flat sides (within 0,2 mm per
100 mm) and shall have a thickness less than the width
of cut (kerf) and at least 0,2 mm greater than the saw
blade plate (see Figure 6);
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and
measurement.
NOTE For the tensile strength a confirmation from the
manufacturer of the material can be useful.
UTS of the riving knife:
≥580N/mm
2
(material 65Mn
steel).
Designed flatness:
≤0.04/100mm.
e=2.2mm, B=3.0mm,
b=2.0mm.
b) leading edge of the riving knife shall be chamfered to
provide a "lead-in", and the riving knife shall be of
constant thickness (within ± 0,1 mm) throughout its
working length;
