CSA Preface

This is the first edition of CSA/ANSI C22.2 No. 19085-13, Woodworking machines — Safety — Part 13: Multi-blade rip sawing machines with manual loading and/or unloading, which is an adoption, with North American deviations, of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 19085-13 (first edition, 2020-05). It is one in a series of Standards issued by CSA Group under Part II of the Canadian Electrical Code. For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as "CSA/ANSI C22.2 No. 19085-13" throughout. This Standard covers the safety requirements and measures for multi-blade rip sawing machines with manual loading and/or unloading. The North American deviations are intended to meet product requirements and to align with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (Canada) and the National Electrical Code (United States). This Standard is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA/ANSI C22.2 No. 19085-1:19, Woodworking machines — Safety — Part 1: Common requirements (adopted ISO 19085-1:2017, with North American deviations). This Standard is considered suitable for use for conformity assessment within the stated scope of the Standard. This Standard was reviewed for North American adoption by the CSA Subcommittee on Electrical Equipment for Woodworking Machinery, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Technical Committee on Industrial Products and the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Requirements for Electrical Safety, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. This Standard has been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as an American National Standard.

Scope

This document gives the safety requirements and measures for stationary multi-blade rip sawing machines manually loaded and/or unloaded, hereinafter referred to as "machines", designed to cut solid wood and material with similar physical characteristics to wood. It deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events as listed in Clause 4 relevant to machines, when operated, adjusted and maintained as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer including reasonably foreseeable misuse. Also, transport, assembly, dismantling, disabling and scrapping phases are taken into account.

NOTE For relevant but not significant hazards, e.g. sharp edges of the machine frame, see ISO 12100:2010. This document does not deal with specific hazards related to the combination of single machines with any other machine as part of a line. It is not applicable to machines: — with all saw blades spindles mounted below the workpiece support/level only; — intended for use in potentially explosive atmosphere; — manufactured prior to its publication. 1DV Modify Clause 1 by adding the following to the first paragraph: This Standard applies to multi-blade rip sawing machines that are intended to be installed and used in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) in the United States and the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I (CSA C22.1) in Canada. In Canada, general requirements applicable to these machines are provided in CSA C22.2 No. 0.
