3General
The WOODPECKER “FKS 6-315/2300” sliding table saw is a sturdily constructed and generously equipped ma-
chine. With its extra-strong saw unit guided on both sides, it is suitable for professional woodworking in any
workshop, joinery or training centres.
Special highlights in the basic equipment are the smooth-running and precise sliding table, the removable cross-
cut carriage for processing large panels, the 1500 mm long telescopic cross-cut and mitre fence with two flip
stops (extendable up to 2800 mm), the eccentric clamp device that can be mounted in both grooves of the sliding
table, the solid and finely adjustable rip fence with extension table as well as the supplementary table extension.
•The circular saw unit has 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 optionally available.
•The motor shaft has a diameter of 30 mm and allows circular saw blades with min. 250 mm and max. 315
mm diameter to be mounted.
•The circular saw blade can be tilted backwards by up to 45° via handwheel with reading scale and can com-
pletely be retracted under the table top if required.
•The planed table top is 800 mm wide and 550 mm long and can be extended to the left with the table ex-
tension mounted and the extension table to the rear.
•The precise sliding table is made of aluminium and hardened steel guide rods. It is lockable and allows cutting
lengths of up to 2300 mm. Two integrated T-slots can be used to mount the eccentric clamping device sup-
plied, the clamping shoe and/or other aids.
•With the 0.75 kW scoring unit installed (option), the maximum cutting length is 2200 mm.
•With the removable cross-cut carriage, even large panels can be ideally supported and processed.
•The telescopic cross-cut fence can be extended up to 2800 mm and has two flip stops and a millimetre scale.
In combination with the cross-cut carriage, it also allows angular cuts that can be set in a few simple steps
using an angular grid on the cross-cut carriage.
•The 800 mm long rip fence, which can be finely adjusted to 0.1 mm, allows cutting widths of up to 950 mm
when the extension table is mounted. The stop profile can be turned 90° from high to flat so that even flat
and narrow workpieces can be machined without obstructions. If the rip fence is not needed, it can be prac-
tically folded away.
•The fixed speed of the motor shaft is 4000 rpm and of the optional scoring unit 8000 rpm.
•The saw blade height is adjusted via the hand wheel at the front.
•The saw blade tilt can be adjusted up to 45° via the side hand wheel and angle scale.

3.1 Intended Use
The WOODPECKER FKS 6-315/2300 sliding table saw is designed for cutting materials for which the saw blade
used is suitable (e.g. wood, chipboard, veneer, plastic or similar materials). This sliding table saw is not suitable
for cutting metal as well as plastics and waste wood in which nails, screws and other metal parts could be con-
tained. The machine may only be operated on a level, fixed surface with a minimum load capacity of 1,000 kg/m².
Improper use can lead to danger to persons and to a defect or damage to the machine.
The sliding table saw is suitable for the following operations:
•Longitudinal cutting of workpieces made of solid wood
•Cross cutting of workpieces made of solid wood
•Cutting of solid or veneered panels
3.2 Target Group and Previous Experience
This operating manual is intended for the operating and maintenance personnel of the machine. The operating
personnel is to be determined by the operator and must further meet the following requirements:
•Basic technical knowledge (e.g. apprenticeship as carpenter, machine fitter, etc. and/or practice in operat-
ing sliding table saw s resp. woodworking machines)
•Reading and understanding these operating and maintenance instructions
In order to acquire the knowledge required to operate this machine, the operator must ensure the following
measures:
•Product training for every operator (also possible external personnel)
•Regular safety instruction
3.3 Requirements for the Operators
•The sliding table saw may only be operated by trained personnel who have also read this manual.
•Inspection, maintenance, cleaning and repair may only be performed by technical specialists
with product-specific training and mechanical and/or electrical training.
•Specialists with product-specific training are to be commissioned and held responsible for
planning and checking the work.
•The national protective regulations for employees must be observed.
•The operator is responsible for the safe use of the machine.
•The legal minimum age must be observed.
3.4 Training of Personnel
All machine operators must be adequately trained in the operation and maintenance of the machine. In particu-
lar, the training must include the following:
•General rules for the use of the machine, proper operation, correct setting of the machine, fences and stop
systems, the sliding table, cross-cut carriage and all guards.
•Proper handling of the workpieces during the machining process. Correct position of the hands on the work-
piece and to the rotating tool during and after machining.
•The personnel must be informed about hazards, risks and appropriate protective measures.
•The personnel must be trained in the area of regular checks of the guards and protective devices.
•The personnel must be trained in the use of the guards and protective device.
