Addition:

This document applies to hand-held cut-off machines fitted with

- one bonded reinforced wheel of Type 41 or Type 42; or

- one or more diamond cutting wheels with peripheral gaps, if any,

+ having no positive rake angle; and

+ not exceeding 10 mm for cut-off machines other than flush cutters, power cutters and wall chasers;

and with

- a rated no-load speed not exceeding a peripheral speed of the wheel of 100 m/s at rated capacity; and

- a rated capacity not exceeding 430 mm.

NOTE 101 An example of a permitted diamond cutting wheel construction is shown in Figure 106.

These tools are intended to cut materials such as metals, concrete, masonry, glass and tile.

This document does not apply to:

1.1 Application
This Standard applies to the safe storage, handling, and use of portable oxygen systems for medical or therapeutic use at the patient bedside. It includes portable oxygen systems which provide medical oxygen in high-pressure oxygen cylinders, liquid oxygen systems, and oxygen concentrators. in residential buildings and health care facilities.


1.2 Inclusions
This Standard includes requirements for maximum aggregate storage quantities of gaseous and liquid oxygen.


1.3 Exclusions
This Standard shall not apply to veterinary hospitals, gas mixes containing oxygen (e.g., 50/50 mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen, M size (22L H2O) or larger high pressure cylinders, and liquid oxygen 65L reservoirs or greater) and the safe storage, use, and handling of portable Oxygen systems which are intended for use on a Medical Gas Pipeline System. See CSA Z7396.1 - Medical gas pipeline systems - Part 1: Pipelines for medical gases, medical vacuum, medical support gases, and anaesthetic gas scavenging systems for further information.


1.3 Terminology
In CSA Standards, “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; “may” is used to express an option or that which is permissible within the limits of the standard; and “can” is used to express possibility or capability.
