Introduction

The extent to which hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this standard. In addition, machinery shall comply as appropriate with EN 292-1 and EN 292-2 for hazards which are not covered by this standard.

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies safety requirements, and their verification for the design and construction of wedge splitters, designed to be used by one operator for splitting wood, irrespective of the nature of the power source used.

On a dual purpose circular saw for firewood/log splitting machine only the log splitter part of the machine is covered by this standard. For circular saws for firewood see prEN 1870-6:1997.

This standard describes methods for the elimination or reduction of risks arising from their use. In addition, it specifies the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer.

The list of significant hazards dealt with is given in annex A. Annex A also indicates the hazards which have not been dealt with.

This European Standard applies primarily to machines which are manufactured after the date of issue of the standard.

3 Definitions

For the purposes of this European Standard, the definitions given in EN 292-1 apply together with the following definition:

3.1 wedge splitter a log splitting machine in which the log is pressed against a fixed plate by means of a splitting wedge (see figures 1 to 3 for examples), or in which a log is split by being pressed against a fixed splitting wedge by a pressure plate

4 Safety requirements

4.1 Electrical equipment

The electrical equipment of electrically driven machines shall comply with EN 60204-1.

EN 609-1:1999+A2:2009 (E)

6

starting;

normal stopping;

interlocking devices;

interlocking devices with guard locking.

For the purpose of this standard "well tried" according to EN 954-1 means:

a) for electrical components that they comply with the relevant standards such as:

EN 60947-5-1:1991 (section 3) for control switches with positive opening operation used as mechanically actuated position detectors for interlocking guards and for relays used in auxiliary circuits;

EN 60947-4-1 for electromechanical contactors and motor starters used in main circuits;

HD 22.1 S3 for rubber insulated cables;

HD 21.1 S1 for polyvinyl chloride insulated cables if these cables are additionally protected against mechanical damage by positioning (e.g. inside frames);

b) for electrical principles that they comply with the first four measures listed in 9.4.2.1 of EN 60204-1:1992. The circuits shall be "hardwired". Electronic components alone do not fulfil category 1;

c) for mechanical components that they comply with 3.5 of EN 292-2:1991;

d) for mechanically actuated position detectors for guards that they are actuated in the positive mode and their arrangement/fastening and cam design/mounting comply with 5.2.2 and 5.3 of EN 1088:1995;

4.3 Starting and stopping

On electrically driven machines, a control device for starting and stopping the machine shall be provided within the reach of the operator when he is in the operating position.

On machines not powered by electricity, the engine start and stop control or the tractor start and stop control are regarded as the operator's controls for starting and stopping the machine.

4.4 Hydraulic equipment

Hydraulic equipment shall comply with EN 982.

Pressurized hoses, lines and components shall be located or shielded so that in the event of rupture, the fluid can not be discharged directly onto the operator when in the operating position.

!

4.5 Holding devices

4.5.1 Log holding device

A device aimed at holding the log prior to the splitting process shall be provided. This device shall be designed to allow the log to be split without requiring it to be held in position by touching with hands or feet.

4.5.2 Log parts holding device during and after splitting

A device shall also prevent the log, or parts of it, from falling onto the operator when he is in the operating position during and after the splitting process.

The devices described in 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 can be combined."

4.6 Guarding of the splitting zone

During the splitting process, the splitting zone shall be guarded by one of the following methods:

a) use of an interlocking guard with guard locking; it shall not be possible to open the guard if the splitting process is not complete and if pressure is being applied to the splitting wedge/pressure plate in the splitting direction. See figure 3 for example;

b) layout of the manual controls so that the operator cannot be caught between the pressure plate and the splitting wedge, or between the log and the splitting wedge, the pressure plate or other parts of the machine. This requirement is satisfied by using two-hand controls (see 9.1 to 9.4 and 9.6 of EN 574:1996) which conform to all of the following:

the two-hand controls shall be of the "hold-to-run type, i.e. the splitting process is stopped if either manual control is released and;

the wedge/the pressure plate shall not return to the starting position if one manual control is in the "On" position and;

it shall be impossible to start the splitting process inadvertently or to operate both manual controls simultaneously with one hand or arm or with other parts of the body (see 9.1 to 9.4 and 9.6 of EN 574:1996) and;

the controls shall be laid out in such a way that the operator has an unobstructed view of the splitting zone (see figures 1 and 2).

4.7 Return movement of the splitting wedge

On machines where the wedge moves, the operator shall be protected against trapping hazards which arise between a log jammed on the wedge and parts of the machine as the wedge returns to the starting position. Protection can be achieved by one of the following measures:

control of the return movement of the wedge by means of two-hand controls of the "hold- to-run type; these may be the controls used to control the splitting process. The requirements in 4.6 of this standard shall be met;

automatic stopping of the wedge by a device (e.g. a touch bar, see figure 1) which is actuated by the jammed log. The force needed to actuate the device shall not exceed 50 N.


EN 609-1:1999+A2:2009 (E)

4.8 Stability

The machine shall be of an adequate stable design. The machine shall have a bearing surface which transmits to the ground a maximum pressure of 400 kPa.

The machine shall be designed to be stable when parked according to the instruction handbook (see 6.3 e)) and meet which ever of the following tests offers the greater margin of stability:

a) the machine shall not turn over when it is placed on a horizontal hard surface, e.g. concrete, and subjected to an inclination of 8.5 in any direction;

b) the machine shall not turn over when it is placed on a horizontal hard surface, e.g. concrete, and subjected to a horizontal force of 300 N applied in all directions at a point 1650 mm from the ground or at the highest point of the machine - which ever is the smallest.

4.9 Additional requirements for vertical wedge splitters

In order to prevent foot injuries to the operator, on vertical wedge splitters where the support plate stands directly on the ground, the plate shall:

extend forward at least 100 mm beyond the front edge of the wedge and;

be at least 50 mm in height.
