DIN 12733
Mowers designed for professional use are subject to a large number of safety guidelines and regulations (e.g. DIN 12733). ESM is extremely committed in this important area and has repeatedly set standards here. In order to minimise the dangers that can arise when using oscillating cutting and mowing technology, ESM implements a series of safety measures such as DIN 12773. Furthermore, the construction of the mowers is designed in such a way that accidents and injuries are avoided.
Details on DIN 12733
DIN 12733 relates to the safety precautions of hand-held motorised mowers for forestry, agriculture and landscape conservation. The comprehensive analysis of the hazards and their listing, as carried out in DIN 12733, aims firstly to compile all the hazards posed by a motorised mower. The devices, hazard warnings, construction methods or other safety requirements and/or measures to be observed are then specified in detail for each relevant component of the mower. DIN 12733 covers safety requirements for motorised mowers in all conceivable areas and their proper inspection. As a traditional manufacturer of cutting units for professional use, Ennepetaler Schneid- und Mähtechnik has been involved in the development and improvement of cutting unit technologies and safety for decades.
Implementation of DIN 12733 by ESM
The fulfilment of standards such as DIN 12733 is an integral part of the ESM production process in the production and new development of high-quality cutting units for motor mowers. In accordance with the legal requirements of DIN 12733, the ESM VS vertical flail attachment is equipped with an integrated blade brake. With the development of the innovative automatic blade brake, ESM has succeeded in significantly raising safety standards in this respect. The innovative blade brake system developed by ESM in accordance with DIN 12733 has made a significant contribution to improving occupational safety in the field of rotary mowing technology. Thanks to the special and sophisticated design of the mechanism, the automatic engagement and disengagement of the brake is realised in harmony with the PTO drive. This design means that an additional dead man's switch - in relation to the mowing deck - is not necessary.
