IEC 62841-3-17:2026 pdf download,Electric motor-operated hand-held tools, transportable tools and lawn and garden machinery – Safety – Part 3-17: Particular requirements for transportable table masonry saws.

IEC 62841-3-17:2026 specifies particular safety requirements for electric motor-operated, transportable table masonry saws. It supplements IEC 62841-1 and focuses on hazards arising when cutting tiles, bricks, stone, concrete blocks, and similar masonry materials with diamond cutting wheels.

The standard applies to type 1 and type 2 table masonry saws using diamond wheels with diameters up to 600 mm, including designs with a movable work table or cutting head. It also covers type 4 masonry saws intended exclusively for continuous-rim diamond wheels up to 260 mm. Tools fitted with bonded abrasive wheels, transportable cut-off machines, and certain type 3 cutting-off machines are excluded.

Requirements address protection against contact with rotating wheels, secure wheel mounting, appropriate guards, flanges, debris deflectors, fences, stops, and material supports. The document also covers prevention of unintended starting or automatic restart, wheel compatibility, rotation-direction marking, rated speed, maximum wheel dimensions, electrical protection, moisture resistance, and safe use of water-cooled cutting systems.

It specifies information that manufacturers must provide, including warnings, personal protective equipment, permitted materials, wheel selection, maintenance, cleaning, electrical connections, and extension-cord precautions. Noise and vibration emissions are also considered. Overall, the standard aims to reduce electrical, mechanical, cutting, flying-debris, water, and operational risks while promoting consistent design, testing, labeling, and instructions for professional and consumer use.
