d) whatever the pre-set adjusted position of the saw blade
guard, it shall be capable of upward movement during
the cutting operation as a function of variations in
workpiece thickness and may or may not return to the
pre-set adjusted position for this type of guard at the
end of the cutting operation;
Verification: By checking relevant drawings, inspection
of the machine and relevant functional testing of the
machine.
e) If a manual adjustable saw blade guard is provided the
height adjustment shall be possible without the aid of a
tool;
Verification: By checking relevant drawings, inspection
of the machine and relevant functional testing of the
machine.
f) on non-transparent saw blade guards, the line of cut
shall be indicated, for example by a groove moulded
into the saw blade guard;
Verification: By checking the relevant drawings and
inspection of machine.
g) on machines which are designed to be used with saw
blade diameters of ≤ 315 mm the saw blade guard shall
be automatically adjustable or manually adjustable in
height and mounted either on the riving knife (see
Figure 18), or separately from the riving knife. In the
latter case it shall be designed for integral mounting to
the machine (see Figure 1). When mounted separately
from the riving knife but integral with the machine, the
support for the saw blade guard shall not be in line
behind the riving knife;
