This standard does not apply to: - transportable mitre saws; - transportable tile saws or transportable metal saws. The attention of National Committees is drawn to the fact that equipment manufacturers and testing organizations may need a transitional period following publication of a new, amended or revised IEC publication in which to make products in accordance with the new requirements and to equip themselves for conducting new or revised tests. It is the recommendation of the committee that the content of this publication be adopted for implementation nationally not earlier than 36 months from the date of publication. This publication is to be read in conjunction with <a href='https://webstore.iec.ch/publication/7448'>IEC 62841-1:2014. Key words: Hand-held tools, Transportable tools, Cut-off machines
