0 Introduction
This European standard is a type C standard as stated in EN 292–1.
When provisions of this type C standard are different from those which are stated in type A or B standards, the
provisions of this type C standard take precedence.
Milling machines present a wide range of hazards, not least from their wide application as rotating tool,
'stationary' workpiece machine tools, for general purpose cutting of cold metal work material.
Protection of operators and other persons from contact with moving cutting tools, especially when being rapidly
rotated in the spindle or from contact with fast–moving workpieces, is of great importance.
When power–operated mechanisms are provided for workpiece transfer, they can also create hazardous
situations during loading/unloading and workpiece alignment or clamping.
On automatic milling machines, total enclosure of the work zone using guards during cutting is the preferred
method of safeguarding. Where this is not practicable (e.g. due to size of the workpiece, its geometry, or its
special characteristics), operators may be safeguarded by other means (e.g. perimeter fencing, protective
devices at the operating position). Operators may also benefit from pendant controls which enable them to
move about the machine.
The significant hazards covered by this standard are those listed in table 1. The safety requirements and/or
protective measures to prevent or minimize those hazards identified in table 1 and procedures for verification
of these requirements or measures are found in clause 5 (tables 2, 3, 4 and 5).
The figures in annex C are examples only and are not intended to illustrate the only interpretation of the text.

4 List of significant hazards
4.1 The list of hazards contained in table 1 is the result of a hazard identification and risk assessment
carried out as described by EN 1050, for the wide range of milling machines covered by the scope of this
standard. The safety requirements and/or measures and information for use contained in clauses 5 and 7 are
based on the risk assessment and deal with the identified hazards by either eliminating them or reducing the
effects of the risks they generate.
4.2 The risk assessment assumes foreseeable access from all directions, as well as unexpected start–up.
Risks to both the operators and other persons who can have access to the hazard zones are identified, taking
into account hazards which can occur under various conditions (e.g. commissioning, set–up, production,
maintenance, repair, decommissioning) during the life of the machine. The assessment includes an analysis of
the effect of failure in the control system.
4.3 In addition, the user of this standard (i.e. the designer, manufacturer, supplier) shall validate that the
risk assessment is complete for the machine under consideration with particular attention to:
– the intended use of the machine including maintenance, setting and cleaning, and its reasonably
foreseeable misuse;
– the identification of the significant hazards associated with the machine.

1.1 Work zone
by visual inspection
Adjustable cutter guard(s) or adjustable guards mounted to the
of the machine
machine table shall be provided to inhibit access to the cutting tool (see
figures C.8 and C.9) . Guards shall be in accordance with EN 953:1997.
1.2 Provision for interlocked guards
by visual inspection
Since some applications require the user to fit an interlocked movable

guard, all machines shall be provided with an electrical interface to
examination of
connect a guard interlock .
