11.3.1 and 11.3.4 are revised to read as follows:

11.3.1 Masonry saws shall be guarded by a semi-
circular enclosure over the blade. The maximum angu-
lar exposure of the blade periphery shall not exceed

Foreword (This Foreword is not a part of American National Standard A10.9-1983.)
This standard is one of a series of safety standards that have been formulated by American Na-
tional Standards Committee on Safety in Construction and Demolition Operations, Alo. One
purpose of these standards is to serve as a guide to governmental authorities having jurisdiction
over subjects within the scope of the A10 Committee. It is expected that the standards will
find a major application in industry, servingas a guide to contractors, labor, and equipment
manufacturers. For the convenience of the users, existing and proposed standards in the Al O
series for safety requirements in construction and demolition operations are listed below:
A10.3 Powder Actuated Fastening Systems
A10.4 Personnel Hoists
A10.5 Material Hoists
A10.6 Demolition
Al 0.7 Transportation, Storage, Handling, and Use of Commercial Explosives and Agents

If these standards are adopted for governmental use, the references to other national codes or
standards in the individual volumes may be changed to refer to the corresponding regulations of
the governmental authorities.
The A10 Committee solicits comments on and criticisms of the standards’ requirements. The
standards will be revised from time to time to provide for new developments.
Suggestions for improvement of this standard will be welcome. They should be sent to the Na-
tional Safety Council, 444 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 6061 1.
