Specific requirements are given in 5.3.5 and 5.3.6.
5.3.2 Spindle locking
Spindle locking is not required on these machines.
5.3.3 Circular saw blade fixing device
Circular saw blades are not mounted on these machines.
5.3.4 Flange dimensions for circular saw blades
Circular saw blades are not mounted on this machine.
5.3.5 Band saw blade straining and tracking
Means shall be provided to adjust the strain of the band saw blade. Indication of the strain shall be provided
[see also Figure 6 and 7.2.2 a)].
A compensation device shall be provided to maintain the strain in the band saw blade during normal
operation.
A means of tilting one band saw blade wheel shall be provided to ensure that the band saw blade can be
tracked (see Figure 5).
Note Band saw blade tracking can be made with open guards for the band saw blade wheels by rotating the
wheels by hand, (see 5.4 for brake release) or with closed guards for the band saw blade wheels during un-braked run-
down in tracking mode (see 4.6 for mode selection).
On machines provided with tracking mode, provision shall be made for checking the position of the band saw
blade when guards are closed, e.g. by means of marks on the machine table or by a scale, or by an inspection
window in the guard of the upper band saw blade wheel.

5.3.6 Band saw blade guides
Machines shall be equipped with at least two sets of band saw blade guides, with at least one above and one
below the workpiece support.
Note For examples of types of guides, see Figure 7.
The set of guides above the workpiece support shall be adjustable in height so that it can be moved towards
the workpiece or workpiece support level and locked in that position.
On machines intended for use with un-tensioned band saw blades, a rear guide, e.g. a thrust wheel, shall be
fitted above the workpiece to maintain the band saw blade in position during operation.
Machines intended for use with tensioned band saw blades shall be fitted with devices that ensure that at
least the bottom band saw blade wheel is cleaned during operation, e.g. brushes or scrapers. Where the
cleaning devices are manually adjusted, this shall be possible without the aid of a tool.
Band resaws shall be fitted with a system which applies anti-adherent fluid to the band saw blade and/or the
band saw blade wheels during machine operation. The reservoir of anti-adherent fluid shall be of adequate
size for continuous operation of at least four hours with the flow rate foreseen for the lubrication.

Where the run-up time exceeds 10 s, the maximum run-down time shall be less than the run-up time but
shall not exceed 30 s.
When designing the braking system and selecting the required band saw blade and drive belts, if any, the
inertia of the free running wheels shall be taken into account in order to avoid overloading of the band saw
blade and drive belts.
The machine shall pass the brake test given in Annex C.
Note For residual risk due to broken band saw blade and drive belt (if fitted) and upper free wheel running, see
7.3.2 a) 3).
