14、onsumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking for a “Safety Standard for Blade-Contact Injuries on Table Saws” (proposed 16 CFR Part 1245), which includes information related to reducing the risk of injury associated with blade-contact injuries on table saws. Thi
15、s Recommended Practice provides the details of a test procedure that can be used to repeatedly and reliably determine the depth of cut on the test probe. The source of these details is based upon a test procedure originally developed by UL LLC from which a later test procedure cited by CPSC staff in
16、 their January 17, 2017 brieng package was based. The Recommended Practice assumes a spinning saw blade and is not intended for determining depth of cut due to contact with a non-spinning saw blade.

20、 WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 3 Signicance And Use 3.1 Table saws with an integral injury mitigation system that responds to a change in capacitance due to spinning blade contact are addressed by the test procedure described herein. Mitigation means not responsive to capacitive contact, non-contact mi
21、tigation means and non-spinning blade contact are not addressed. 3.2 The test procedure species the mechanical and electrical criteria necessary for repeatable and reliable means of blade contact and depth of cut measurement. PERFORMANCE 4 Table Saw Sample Preparation 4.1 A table saw test sample is
22、assembled per the manufacturers instructions with the exception of the blade guard system. The blade guard system is removed for all tests. 4.2 The manufacturers recommended saw blade(s) are used for all tests. 4.3 One table saw is used for all tests. However, a table saw test sample or part thereof
23、 may be replaced with a new sample or part if the original becomes unusable. 5 Laboratory Test Apparatus 5.1 The laboratory test apparatus consists of the following: a) Linear actuator 3 with a minimum travel distance of 500 mm and a travel speed up to 2 m/sec; b) Human body network (HBN) consisting
24、 of a circuit of resistor and capacitor values and conguration as shown in Figure 5.1. Note that Cs capacitance values vary as specied in 7.4; This is generated text for gtxt.

33、. It rests atop of the probe stabilizer strip for its entire length as shown in Figure 7.1. This is generated text for gtxt. 7.2 The test probe assembly is attached to the linear actuator and placed on the table saw work surface such that the test probe is oriented horizontal to the table saw work s
34、urface and perpendicular to the saw blade 5 . The test probe assembly is laterally positioned such that, when advanced toward the saw blade, the exposed section of the test probe is approximately centered on the blade. (See Figure 7.2). 5 If the test probe assembly is correctly assembled, the center
35、 axis of the test probe will be 15 2 mm above the table saw work surface on which it is placed. This is generated text for gtxt.

38、RODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL 7.5 The linear actuator is programed to advance the test probe assembly toward the saw blade at a rate of 1 m/s. The linear travel distance is not specied except that it permits the test probe to fully contact the saw blade and doesnt inuence the
39、depth of cut measurement. 8 Test Procedure 8.1 The test procedure is as follows: a) Set the table saw blade to its maximum height and 0 degree bevel with respect to the work surface; b) Set the HBN variable capacitance (Cs) to 50 pF; c) Connect the table saw to an electrical supply providing the nom
40、inal nameplate voltage of the test sample and turn on the table saw, allowing any control or injury mitigation systems to initialize and ready the saw for cutting work pieces; d) Operate the saw blade via the appropriate table saw switch and allow the saw blade to attain its normal rotation speed; e
41、) Advance the test probe towards the spinning saw blade via the linear actuator at the programmed rate of speed; f) Once contact with the saw blade is made, allow the advancing test probe assembly to come to rest; Figure 7.3 HBN connection JULY 13, 2017 UL RP 3002 12UL COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL NOT AUTHO
42、RIZED FOR FURTHER REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM UL g) Turn off power to the table saw and remove the test probe 6 for inspection and depth of cut measurement. 6 It is expected that the table saw injury mitigation system will cause the saw blade to stop its rotation. Care shall
43、 be exercised in handling of the test probe and test probe assembly until it is clear that moving parts of the table saw have ceased their movement. 8.2 After performing the depth of cut measurement, repeat 7.1 with the HBN capacitance (Cs) set to 66 pF. Continue repeating 7.1, each time setting Cs
44、to the next capacitance value in the sequence cited in 7.4, concluding with the test where Cs is a short circuit. 9 Measurement of Depth of Cut 9.1 Depth of cut (D) is determined by measuring, via any convenient means, the external horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) cuts on the probe to the nearest 0.1
45、 mm as shown in Figure 9.1. This is generated text for gtxt. 9.2 The measurements are entered in Equation 1 to obtain the value of depth of cut (D).
