3General
The WOODPECKER "SPM 2-1000" model is a universal spindle moulder with height and tilt adjustable milling
arbor, built-in milling spindle lock, two directions of rotation, adjustable speed and separately adjustable total
and partial fence.
Special highlights in the basic equipment are the sturdy and smooth-running format sliding table, the telescopic
fence with 2 flip stops and eccentric clamp, and the three supplementary table extensions.
•The milling spindle is driven by a powerful 4.0 kW / 5.5 HP three-phase motor equipped with a wear-free,
electronic motor brake. An even more powerful motor with 5.5 KW / 7.5 HP is available as an option.
•The machine's four fixed speeds (1400 / 3500 / 6000 / 8000 rpm) can be set by flipping the pulley via the
belt quick tensioning device.
•The milling spindle can be tilted backwards from 90° to 45° via an analogue angle scale.
•The height and tilt adjustment is carried out manually using the two handwheels at the front.
•The milling arbor is designed for conventional and climb milling and has a built-in milling spindle lock, which
allows for quick and convenient tool changes.
•The standard safety fence can be moved manually forwards and backwards by loosening the two clamping
screws. The fine adjustment of the total fence and the partial fence is done manually via adjusting wheels
with a scale for the total fence and a vernier scale for the partial fence.
•The PANHANS Type 215 safety fence incl. cast fence plates and aluminium splitter tongues is available as an
option. The total fence is adjusted via the built-in handwheel (separate measuring device, e.g. setting gauge
or similar required). The partial fence is adjusted via a star knob using the vernier scale.
•The large and solid table top with a 190 mm opening is made of a solid cast iron and measures 1000 x 550
mm. This can be extended with the two included table extensions (500 x 320 mm) on the left and right side.
•The sturdy and smooth-running aluminium sliding table with hardened steel guide rods measures 1150 x
350 mm and is grooved so that the telescopic fence included as standard with two adjustable flip stops and
eccentric clamp can be attached to it. The sliding table can be extended with an attachable table extension
parallel to the telescopic fence.
•The control panel on the front of the machine is equipped with a lockable main switch, an on/off switch for
the spindle, a direction of rotation switch and an emergency stop pushbutton. In addition, the currently set
speed is visualized here via four signal lamps.
•The milling spindle can be secured against turning by a locking bolt for tool change. An internal safety switch
prevents the milling spindle from starting during this process.
•The machine is supplied in a CE-compliant and GS-tested design.

Fire hazard due to wood dust in connection with flying sparks and/or open fire!
4.2.4 Observe the Environmental Protection Regulations
During all work with the machine, the environmental protection regulations, obligations and laws for waste
avoidance and proper recycling and/or disposal applicable at the place of use must be observed. This applies in
particular to installation, repair and maintenance work involving substances that could pollute the groundwater
(e.g. hydraulic oils and cleaning agents and liquids containing solvents). In any case, prevent them from seeping
into the ground or entering the sewage system.
Store and transport the above-mentioned hazardous substances only in suitable con-
tainers. Avoid leakage of hazardous substances by using suitable collection contain-
ers. Ensure that the above-mentioned substances are disposed of by a qualified dis-
posal company.
4.2.5 Organisational Measures
Always keep this operating manual within easy reach and at the place of use of the machine.
In addition to the operating manual, observe and instruct on generally applicable legal and other binding
regulations for accident prevention and environmental protection.
Supplement the operating manual with further instructions, including supervisory and reporting duties, to
take account of special operational features (e.g. with regard to work organisation, work processes, per-
sonnel employed).
Before starting work on the machine, the person responsible for its operation must have read the operat-
ing instructions, especially the chapter "Safety Instructions". This applies in particular to personnel who
only occasionally work on the machine.
Check that work is carried out in a safety-conscious and hazard-conscious manner and in compliance with
the operating manual.
Operators must not wear open long hair, loose clothing or jewellery (including rings). There is a risk of in-
jury, e.g. by getting caught or drawn in.
Observe the safety instructions and danger warnings on the machine and keep them complete and in legi-
ble condition.
In case of safety-relevant changes to the machine or its operating behaviour, shut down the entire system
immediately and report the fault to the responsible office/person.
Use personal protective equipment as necessary or required by regulations.
Do not make any modifications, additional attachments or conversions to the machine without the manu-
facturer's approval! This will compromise safety and invalidate the manufacturer's warranty and any lia-
bility claim.
Spare parts must meet the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer. The exclusive use of
original spare parts ensures this. Therefore, only use original spare parts from the manufacturer.
Observe the fire alarm and firefighting possibilities. Make the location and operation of fire extinguishers
(fire class ABC) known. Do not use water!

4.3.2 Normal Operation
Guards: Take measures to ensure that the machine can only be operated in a safe and functional
condition. Only operate the machine when all guards and safety-related devices such as
- detachable guards (e.g. tool covers and fence covers),
- emergency stop system, sound insulation, suction device etc.
are present and in working order.
Workpiece: Before machining, inspect the workpiece for foreign inclusions, knots, twists, objects
and other irregularities.
Working area: An obstacle-free work area around the machine is essential for safe operation.
The floor should be level, well maintained and free from debris such as chips and cut-off workpieces.
Rotation speed: The speed must correspond to the milling cutter and the respective operation.
The maximum speed indicated on the tool must not be exceeded. If a speed range is indicated on the
milling cutter, this must be adhered to by not going above or below the speed range stated.
Cutting area during operation: Never attempt to remove splinters, chips or other parts from the cutting
area while the machine is running! Never remove splinters and chips by hand!
- Cover the milling cutters before the fence by means of a protective device
- Clamp milling cutters as deeply as possible
- Adapt the table opening to the tool diameter with insert rings or optional Table Slide
- Place the fence halves as close as possible to the milling tool and clamp them securely
- Close the protective cover of the fence
Power feeder: Generally adjust so that the workpiece is guided safely along the fence. Set the feeder
at an angle of approx. 5° to the feed direction and keep the opening to the fence as small as possible.
Manual feeding: When feeding the workpiece manually, place the hands flat on the workpiece with
closed fingers and push forward evenly.
Special tools: For certain operating phases and operations it is necessary to use special tools
(e.g. feed device, table extensions, clamping drawer, push bar or comparable feed elements).
Single pieces / samples: Always use all protective devices and appropriate tools!
Insert milling: During insert milling, use optional table extensions with cross fences as well as a
Kickback guard adapted to the workpiece dimensions.
Workpieces with small cross-section: Always use one with a push block for machining.
Short workpieces: For short workpieces, use a workpiece holder and bridge the fence halves.
Long workpieces: When milling, generally use feather boards and table extensions and secure the work-
piece against tipping.
Narrow grooves: Always use a suitable grooving cutter (no circular saw blades).
Milling narrow cross sides: Generally feed workpiece with push block.
Curved or round workpieces: Use special suction bonnet when milling with a thrust ring or ring fence
guard.
Extraction: The machine must be connected to an effective extraction system. This requires a flow velocity
of at least 20 m/s for dry chips and 28 m/s for moist chips (moist 18 % or more).
Machine condition: Check the machine for externally visible damage and defects at least once per shift!
Any changes that have occurred (including those in the operating behaviour) must be reported immedi-
ately to the responsible office or person! If necessary, stop and secure the machine immediately!
Work interruptions: Switch off the machine even during short interruptions! Never leave the machine
running unattended!

4.3.3 Special work within the Scope of Maintenance Work as well as Troubleshooting
in the Workflow
Observe maintenance and inspection activities prescribed in the operating manual!
These activities, as well as all other repair work, may only be carried out by qualified personnel!
For all work concerning operation, production adjustment, conversion or setting of the machine and its
safety-related equipment as well as maintenance and repair, observe switch-on and switch-off procedures
according to the operating manual and instructions for maintenance work!
Secure the machine against unexpected restarting during maintenance and repair work.
➔Lock the main switch with a padlock!
Always tighten screw connections that have been loosened during maintenance and repair work!
If it is necessary to dismantle safety equipment during set-up, maintenance and repair, the safety equip-
ment must be reassembled and checked immediately after completion of the maintenance and repair
work!
Ensure safe and environmentally friendly disposal of operating and auxiliary materials (e.g. oils) and re-
placement parts (e.g. electronic components). See chapter 20 “Disassembly and Scraping”.
4.3.4 After Work
Before leaving the machine, switch off the main switch and the extraction system.
Secure the machine against unauthorised use and never leave it unattended in an unsecured condition.
Clean the machine with an industrial hoover (avoid compressed air!).
4.4 Safe Working Practices
Depending on the work to be carried out, the guards must be used for fence milling, insert milling, curved milling
and also for tenoning. Nevertheless, in order to prevent accidents, it is necessary that the user observes safe
working practices.
4.4.1 Operator Training
It is important that all users of the tilting spindle moulder are adequately instructed in the use, setting and oper-
ation. This concerns in detail:
Possible hazards that may occur when working with the machine.
The basics of machine operation, correct setting and use of the fences, templates, aids and guards.
The correct selection of the tool for the respective processing.
The safe workpiece guidance and feeding.
The correct hand position and safe stacking and unstacking of the workpieces before and after machining.
4.4.2 Stability
For safe operation of the machine, it is necessary that it is stable and securely fastened to the floor or
another safe part of the building.
4.4.3 Setting up and Adjusting the Machine
Before starting the adjustment, the machine must be disconnected from the mains supply.
For tool clamping, refer to the recommendations of the tool manufacturer.
To ensure safe and effective machining, the tool must be suitable for the material to be machined.
Tools must be sharp and mounted on carefully balanced tool holders.

BA_WP_SPM2-1000_EN_28-22.docx
18
4.4.4 Tool Handling
Tools must be handled with care and tool transport equipment must be used whenever possible.
4.4.5 Tool Clamping
Use suitable devices, e.g. setting gauges, to clamp the tool when the machine is at a standstill.
To keep the gap between the spindle and the table as small as possible, the matching table insert rings
must be used.
4.4.6 Setting the Safety Fence
For milling straight workpieces, the safety fence must always be used to ensure adequate guidance of the
workpiece.
Whenever the operation allows it (also for test cuts), an auxiliary fence must be used to keep the gap be-
tween the tool and the fence rulers as small as possible.
Whenever the working process allows it (also for test cuts), a power feeder must be used. This must be
equipped with a separate ON and OFF switch.
For manual feed at the fence, a push stick must be used together with the safety guard to support the feed.
Roller stands or table extensions must be used as supports for long workpieces.
4.4.7 Direction of Rotation
It is important that the tool is clamped in the correct direction of rotation.
The safer machining method is conventional milling. The machine user must ensure that the workpiece is
fed against the tool in the opposite direction to the spindle rotation.
Climb milling with manual feed involves considerable dangers. This operation is only permitted with ap-
propriate devices and suitable tools. If the machine is switched to climb milling, this dangerous operation
is signalled by a signal lamp on the control panel.
4.4.8 Speed Selection
The user must ensure that the correct speed is selected for the clamped tool.
For the optimum cutting speed, please refer to the diagram attached to the machine.
4.4.9 Machine Operation and Selection / Adjustment of Protective Devices
By using different milling spindles, tools and cutters, a large number of different machining oper-
ations can be carried out on the spindle moulder. Therefore, it is not possible to use only one pro-
tective device for all operations.
•Each operation should be considered separately. The most appropriate protective measures must be se-
lected for each specific operation.
•The type of tool, its blade projection and its height on the spindle determine the smallest possible table
opening.
•This can be achieved by selecting the appropriate table insert rings, which reduces the risk of the workpiece
catching on the edge of the opening.
•The tool must be covered as far as the respective operation permits.
•A detachable power feeder attached to machine table combined with the safety fence can provide the most
effective tool guarding. This combination is usually the best protective measure on table milling machines.
The feeding device must be easily adaptable to the different workpiece dimensions and not cause any draw-
ing-in hazards.

BA_WP_SPM2-1000_EN_28-22.docx
19
4.4.9.1 Milling at the fence, where the machining extends over the full workpiece length
With workpieces that usually have a right-angled cross-section over their entire length, this machining operation
is carried out by using a safety fence. Since the fence rulers are at a 90° angle to the table top, the workpiece can
be guided at right angles along the fence rulers.
Since the opening between the fence rulers on a table milling machine must be wide enough for the tool to pass
through, unnecessary danger areas are created on the knives, on the tool body and on the spindle. The gap
between the two fence rulers must be closed as much as possible. Otherwise there is a risk that the workpiece
leading edge will catch on the edge of the take-off ruler. These hazards are avoided by the use of an auxiliary
fence or suitable fence bridges, protective inserts, etc.
The manufacture of an auxiliary fence must be carried out with care. It is recommended that the knives are
passed through by fine adjustment of the fence and not by pushing the fence into the tool by hand.
4.4.9.2 Insert Milling
Insert milling is milling at the fence, whereby the workpiece is not machined over its entire length. Instead of
starting the cut at the beginning of the workpiece, the knives must plunge into the solid material and (depending
on the requirement) plunge out again before reaching the end of the workpiece. The splinter tabs must be placed
as close as possible to the cutter.
If the workpiece cannot be held safely by hand due to its small dimensions, a tenoning clamp or another work-
piece holding device, together with a suitable guard (which secures the tool as far as possible) must be used. The
tenoning clamp must allow fast and accurate insertion of the workpiece and ensure firm clamping.
A securely fastened telescopic fence as well as a kickback guard must also be used. For very long workpieces, use
an auxiliary fence if necessary.
Quick clamps, acting either via toggle levers or eccentrics, ensure fast and convenient workpiece clamping. Quick
clamps, acting either via toggle levers or eccentrics, ensure fast and convenient workpiece clamping. Rear and/or
front cross fences attached to the fence or on the table ensure more accurate work with the tenoning clamp. In
addition, extension and retraction bars should be provided on the tenoning clamp.
4.4.9.3 Curved Milling
For shaping the workpiece to be machined, a clamping template must always be used for curve milling. The shape
of the workpiece is achieved by pressing the template against the ring fence guard (see section 17.3), while
the knives are simultaneously passing by.
A clamping template cannot be used if the operation makes this impossible, e.g. if
•the workpiece is so large that the use of the template makes the work impracticable or
•the workpiece is so small or so shaped that a secure fixture in the template is not possible.
4.4.9.4 Inclined Milling
A special clamping device or inclinable stop rulers must be used to ensure a secure support during inclined mill-
ing. Push sticks must be used at the end of the milling process.
4.4.9.5 Climb Milling
Climb milling is a very dangerous operation as the operator is not able to stop the sudden forward movement of
the workpiece when it is caught by the knives. In addition, the workpiece can be dangerously ejected. Climb
milling should generally be avoided, even if a clamping device or a workpiece holding device is used. If the direc-
tion of rotation switch on the control panel is set turned to the “climb milling” position, this is signalled by an
illuminated signal lamp next to the switch.
4.4.9.6 Other Work
If other work is carried out on the machine, suitable clamping devices or workpiece holding devices must be used
to reduce the risk of accident.

BA_WP_SPM2-1000_EN_28-22.docx
20
4.4.10 Use of work devices with protective function
The following devices can be used to support the machine operator during work:
•Table extensions (2 x lateral and 1 x front) for large and long workpieces
•Sliding table, clamping drawers, sliding blocks and comparable aids
•Telescopic fence with two flip stops and workpiece clamping device
•Approach rails on workpiece guides
•Detachable power feeder
4.4.11 Noise Reduction
•The condition of the tools is important to reduce the noise level.
•The material and the requirement of the guards must be chosen in such a way that the noise level is reduced.
•The correct tool speed selection must be used to reduce the noise level.
If the workplace-related noise emission values of the machine exceed 85 dB(A),
suitable hearing protection must be made available to the personnel!
The use of personal hearing protection is not a substitute for the above options.
4.5 Construction-related Safety Equipment
•The main switch can be locked to protect the machine against unauthorized/unintentional switch-on during
standstill as well as during repair and maintenance work.
•The tool cover is ensured by means of a protective and pressure device (standard version).
•The safety fence has a protective bonnet to cover the tool from the top side. It is also equipped with a suction
nozzle to extract chips and dust directly at the point of origin.
•With the insert rings included as standard, the table opening can be adapted to the tool diameter as far as
possible in order to keep it as small as possible.
•The smooth-running and lockable sliding table with extendable fence and eccentric clamp can be rotated by
± 45°. This allows even large workpieces to be processed safely.
4.6 Electrical Safety Equipment
•The machine is equipped with an emergency stop button on the front control panel. This is directly accessible
at the workstation and immediately puts the machine out of operation in the event of danger.
•The main switch can be locked to protect the machine against unauthorised/unintentional switch-on during
standstill as well as during repair and maintenance work.
•Electronic brake for electrodynamic braking of the motors. This ensures the standstill of the tool in less than
10 seconds after the motor is switched off.
•Undervoltage protection: In the event of a voltage interruption, the machine is brought to a standstill, where
it remains even when the voltage is restored. To restart the machine, it must be switched on again.
•Protection against electric shock: The housing of the machine and the drives are protected against electric
shock by a neutral line.
•Dust protection: The control cabinet and drive unit are protected against contact, dust and splash water on
all sides with IP54 protection.
•Safety switch for tool change. A locking bolt can be used to activate an anti-rotation device for the milling
spindle. The internal switch then prevents the spindle from starting dangerously.
•Short-circuit protection: The machine has an overload protection for the motor (thermal cut-out switch).
•The service door on the left side of the machine is equipped with a safety switch. This switches off the spindle
drive as soon as the door is opened and prevents the drive from being switched on when the door is open.
•A signal light indicates the set direction of rotation during the dangerous “climb milling”operation.
