This part of IEC 62841 applies to rechargeable battery-powered motor-operated chain saws for tree service, hereinafter referred to as chain saws or machines, having a maximum mass of 5,0 kg. The mass includes the heaviest detachable battery pack(s), if any, as described in IEC 62841-1:2014, K.8.14.2 e) 2), but excludes the guide bar, saw chain and saw chain lubricant. Chain saws covered by this document are intended to be used for pruning and dismantling standing tree crowns.

The chain saws covered by this document are designed only to be operated with the right hand on the rear handle and the left hand on the front handle.

This document does not apply to

–   chain saws supplied by mains power or power from non-isolated sources that permit the machine to be used while connected to such power supplies; or

–   chain saws supplied by integral batteries; or

–   chain saws for cutting wood as covered by IEC 62841-4-1; or

–   chain saws designed for use in conjunction with a guide-plate and riving knife or in any other way such as with a support or as a stationary or transportable machine; or

–   pole-mounted pruners; or

  NOTE 1 Pole-mounted pruners are covered by IEC 62841-4-10.

–   pruning saws.

  NOTE 2  Pruning saws will be covered by a future part of IEC 62841-4.

The maximum rated voltage for machines and battery packs is 75 V d.c.

Battery machines covered by this document are not considered to be class I tools, class II tools or class III tools and therefore are not required to have basic insulation, supplementary insulation or reinforced insulation. Electric shock hazard is considered to exist only between parts of opposite polarity.

This document deals with the hazards presented by machines which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the machines.

When evaluating a rechargeable battery pack for protection against electric shock during charging, creepage distances, clearances and distances through insulation, the relevant requirements of this document are applicable with the battery pack fitted to the intended charger.

Since rechargeable battery packs for machines are submitted to different use patterns (such as rough use, high charging and discharging currents), their safety can be evaluated only by this document and not by using other standards for rechargeable battery packs, such as IEC 62133-1:2017 or IEC 62133-2:2017, unless otherwise indicated in this document. All relevant aspects related to the safety of rechargeable batteries are addressed in this document, such that the requirements of IEC 62133-1:2017 or IEC 62133-2:2017 are not required to be separately applied.

When evaluating the risk of fire associated with rechargeable battery packs for machines, consideration has been given to the fact that these battery packs are unattended energy sources and have been evaluated as such in this document. Requirements in other standards regarding the risk of fire due to the charging of these battery packs are therefore considered to be fulfilled.

This document also addresses requirements covering the use of lithium-ion cells employed in battery systems in machines. The following is considered within the context of these requirements:

– These requirements address the risk of fire or explosion of these batteries and not any possible hazards associated with toxicity nor potential hazards associated with transportation or disposal.

NOTE 3  IEC 62281:2019 covers the safety aspects of lithium-ion batteries during transport.

– Battery systems covered by these requirements are not intended to be serviced by the end user.

– These requirements are intended to provide comprehensive evaluation of a battery only if used in products covered by this document.

– These requirements address the safety of lithium-ion battery systems during storage and use including discharge and charge. These requirements are only considered to be supplementary requirements in regard to battery charger fire and electric shock.

– These requirements refer to and require parameters supplied in reference to the cells that establish conditions for safe use of those cells. Those parameters form the basis of acceptance criteria for a number of tests contained herein. This document does not independently evaluate the safety of cells. These parameters, taken as a set, constitute the "specified operating region" for a cell. There can be several sets of specified operating region(s).

This document does not apply to machines using general purpose batteries installed by the user and this document alone will not be sufficient to ensure that all hazards are considered for these products.

This document does not apply to the safety of battery chargers themselves.

NOTE 4  IEC 60335-2-29 covers a variety of chargers.

IEC 62841-1:2014, Clause 1 is applicable, except as follows.

Addition:

This document applies to transportable belt sanders, disc sanders and belt/disc sanders which are equipped with

– a sanding belt; or

– a sanding disc; or

– a sanding belt and a sanding disc

for sanding solid materials.

This document does not apply to hand-held disc-type sanders.

1.1 

This Standard applies to deadfront indoor enclosed and outdoor enclosed assemblies of switchgear devices such as

a)    switches;

b)   interrupting devices;

c)    circuit breakers as defined in Clause 3; and

d)   control, metering, protective, and regulating equipment with associated interconnections and supporting structures.

1.2 

This Standard covers equipment with a nominal voltage of 46 kV or less that is intended to be used

a)    in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I;

b)   in non-hazardous locations;

c)    for controlling and protecting the power from generators or other sources; and

d)   for supplying electrical energy to power and lighting circuits.

1.3 

This Standard does not apply to

a)    switchboards for power distribution (see CSA C22.2 No. 244);

b)   switchboards for communication circuits;

c)    panelboards (see CSA C22.2 No. 29);

d)   industrial control equipment (see CSA C22.2 No. 14);

e)    low-voltage assemblies consisting of separately supported enclosed switches;

f)    enclosed circuit breakers (see CSA C22.2 No. 5);

g)    service meters with interconnection between them enclosed in raceways;

h)   individual low-voltage switchgear and controlgear switching devices such as contactors or proximity switches (see CSA C22.2 No. 60947 series and Note 2 below); and

i)     switchgear assemblies relying solely on solid dielectric material as primary insulation (see CSA C22.2 No. 297)

Notes:

1)    Manufacturers and installers of switchgear assemblies approved under this Standard should take due note of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, with respect to the location of switchgear devices in areas where certain components might not be acceptable.

2)    The terms “switchgear” and “switchgear assemblies” used within the content of this Standard refer to assemblies primarily intended to provide protection and control of either low- or high-voltage feeder and sub-feeder circuits in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution, and conversion of electric power. These terms should not be confused with the IEC terms “switchgear” and “controlgear” used within the context of the CSA C22.2 No. 60947 series of standards which cover individual or combinations of individual low-voltage switching devices intended for the control, measurement, or regulation of energy-consuming equipment.

1.4 

Clauses 2 to 6 apply to all switchgear assemblies and are supplemented and amended by

a)    Clause 7 for low-voltage switchgear assemblies; and

b)   Clause 8 for high-voltage switchgear assemblies.

Note: See Annex F for additional requirements applicable for pressurized gas insulated switchgear.

1.5 

In this Standard, “shall” is used to express a requirement, i.e., a provision that the user is obliged to satisfy in order to comply with the standard; “should” is used to express a recommendation or that which is advised but not required; and “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard.

Notes accompanying clauses do not include requirements or alternative requirements; the purpose of a note accompanying a clause is to separate from the text explanatory or informative material.

Notes to tables and figures are considered part of the table or figure and may be written as requirements.

Annexes are designated normative (mandatory) or informative (nonmandatory) to define their application.
