Handgeführte motorbetriebene Elektrowerkzeuge - Sicherheit - Teil 2-22: Besondere Anforderungen für Trennschleifmaschinen (IEC 60745-2-22:2011, modifiziert); Deutsche Fassung EN 60745-2-22:2011
Overview
This standard applies to cut-off machines fitted with one bonded reinforced wheel of Type 41 or Type 42, or one or more diamond straight or offset cut-off wheel(s) with the peripheral gaps, if any, not exceeding 10 mm and with a rated speed not exceeding a peripheral speed of the wheel of 100 m/s at rated capacity and a rated wheel capacity range of 55 mm to 410 mm. These machines are intended to cut materials such as metals, concrete, masonry, glass and tile. This standard does not apply to grinders, sanders, or polishers, even if they can be converted to a cut-off machine (these devices are covered by IEC 60745-2-3) or to circular saws (they are covered by IEC 60745-2-5). This European Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports essential requirements of the EU Directive 2006/42/EC. The responsible committee is K 514 "Elektrowerkzeuge" ("Electric tools") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
