This European Standard applies to pedestrian controlled floor sawing machines having power feed, manual feed or hand feed (see 3.2) for sawing, grooving and milling floor surfaces made of concrete, asphalt and similar mineral building materials where the main power is supplied by electric or internal combustion prime engine. The power transmission of floor sawing machines is mechanical or hydraulic. This European Standard deals with all significant hazards pertinent to floor sawing machines, when they are used as intended and under the conditions foreseen by the manufacturer (see clause 4). This European Standard specifies the appropriate technical measures to eliminate or reduce risks arising from the significant hazards. These machines are designed for use with rotating cutting-off wheels for wet and dry cutting. These cutting-off wheels can be either a diamond cutting-off wheel or a boron nitride cutting-off wheel. NOTE – Other types of cutting tools may also be used provided that they fall within the design and usage parameters of the machine. This standard does not cover this. This European Standard does not apply to: - self-propelled ride-on floor sawing machines; - machines moving along a rail; - hand-held portable cutting off machines for construction materials mounted on a mobile support, to be used as floor saws; - remote controlled machines. This European Standard covers electrical hazards by making reference to relevant European Standards (see 5.2). Those hazards that are relevant for all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic and other equipment or machinery and that are dealt with in standards for common use are not covered by this European Standard. Reference to pertinent standards is made where such standards are applicable and so far necessary. In this European Standard, floor sawing machines are called ""machines"", and cutting-off wheels are called ""tools"". This European Standard applies primarily to machines which are manufa
