This European Standard specifies the requirements and/or measures to remove the hazards and limit the risks on single end tenoning machines with sliding table, hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood, chipboard, fibreboard, plywood and also these materials where they are covered with plastic laminate or edgings.

This standard does not apply to : a) machines where the tenon is produced only by means of saw blades; b) machines where the design speed of any tool spindle exceeds 6000 min-1; c) machines where the average sliding table feed speed in either direction exceeds 25 m min-1 + 5%; d) combined machines used for tenoning (see EN 940 : 1997); e) tenoning attachments on a vertical spindle moulding machine (see EN 848-1 : 1997). NOTE : Single and double end tenoning machines fed by chain or chains are dealt with in prEN 1218-2. Single end tenoning machines where the tenon is produced only by means of saw blades are dealt with in prEN 1218-3.
