This European Standard specifies safety requirements and their verification for the design and construction of electric powered walk-behind and hand-held lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers , with cutting element (s) of non-metallic filament line or freely pivoting non-metallic cutter(s), with a kinetic energy of not more than 10 J each, used by a standing operator for cutting grass, their rated voltage being not more than 250 V for a.c. or 75 V d.c..

NOTE 101 The method of calculating the kinetic energy for the purposes of this standard is given in 22.103.

In this European Standard, hand-held and walk-behind lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers are referred to collectively as machine(s). This European Standard does not apply to

– scissor type or lawn trimmers and lawn edge trimmers with cutting means other than those described above;
