本标准规定了齿轮和花键切割机的设计、施工、操作和维护（包括安装、拆卸和运输）的安全要求（见3.1）。本标准的要求适用于带有单个或多个主轴的机器，这些主轴专门用于通过滚齿、铣削、成形和拉削工艺生产齿轮齿。它也适用于剃、磨、研磨或倒角齿轮齿的机器，以及用于生产棘轮、花键或链轮齿的机器。本标准的要求不适用于用于成型、轧制、火焰切割、齿轮磨削、冲压、冲击成形、锻造和齿轮检查的机器。手动便携式电动工具也不在本标准范围内。 重申日期:2012年11月27日

This standard specifies safety requirements for the design, construction, operation and maintenance (including installation, dismantling and transport) of gear and spline cutting machines (see 3.1). The requirements of this standard apply to machines with single or multiple spindles that are specifically constructed to produce gear teeth by the process of hobbing, milling, shaping, and broaching. It also applies to those machines that shave, hone, lap, or chamfer gear teeth and machines used to produce ratchet, spline, or sprocket teeth. The requirements of this standard do not apply to machines used for molding, rolling, flame cutting, gear grinding, stamping, impact forming, forging, and gear inspection. Power tools, portable by hand are also excluded from this standard.Reaffirmed: 27 November 2012
