<p>This International Standard specifies mechanical safety requirements and test methods applicable to walk-behind</p>
<p>powered edgers that employ rigid cutting means with a blade tip circle not more than 305 mm in diameter, and</p>
<p>where the plane of the blade tip circle is designed to operate at not more than 15° from the vertical.</p>
<p>This International Standard applies to hand-held portable and powered edgers employing a rigid cutting element</p>
<p>with a blade tip circle not more than 305 mm in diameter.</p>
<p>This International Standard also includes test methods for noise and vibration.</p>
<p>This International Standard does not cover edgers with cutting means of non-metallic filament line or freely pivoting</p>
<p>non-metallic cutters.</p>
<p>This International Standard does not cover accessories or attachments that alter the function of the machine.</p>
<p>The electrical aspects of electrically powered edgers are not covered by this International Standard. For the</p>
<p>electrical requirements applicable to electrically driven machines, reference should be made to IEC 60335-1.</p>
<p>NOTE — For motion control requirements related to self-propelled machines, reference should be made to ISO 5395.</p>
