BS EN 60745-2-11:2010 Hand-held motor-operated electric tools. Safety. Particular requirements for reciprocating saws (jig and sabre saws)
BS EN 60745-2-11 deals with the safety of reciprocating saws such as jig saws and sabre saws, the rated voltage of the tools being not more than 250 V for single-phase
a.c. or d.c. tools, and 440 V for three-phase a.c. tools.
So far as is practicable, BS EN 60745-2-11 deals with the common hazards presented by reciprocating saws which are encountered by all persons in the normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse of the tools.
