This European Standard specifies all hazards arising from the use of clamping devices for the fastening of milling tools and circular saw blades on woodworking machines and specifies the methods for the elimination or reduction of these hazards by the design of the clamping device and by the provision of information.
This European Standard does not apply to arbors for spindle moulding machines in accordance with EN 848 1 or to clamping flanges for circular sawing blades to be used on circular sawing machines in accordance with the standard series EN 1870 and does not cover hazard related to the connection of the clamping device with the machine.
Bore mounted tools which are mounted on an interchangeable arbor should be considered as a shank mounted tool.
NOTE For definition of "woodworking machines", see EN 847 1.
