Always get an assistant to help you tilt the
headstock or tighten the headstock lock
nuts during the following steps. The head-
stock is very heavy and may be difficult to
control once it is tilted past 45ºR or 45ºL.
If you do not pay attention, it can flip over,
causing serious personal injury and pos-
sible machine damage.
5.
determine which of the two hex bolts that
lock the headstock vertically is loose.
6.
tighten the locking hex nut on the opposite
side of the headstock to secure it.
7.
remove the hex nut and flat washer from the
hex bolt that is loose.
8.
While an assistant holds the machine motor,
loosen the locking hex nut on the opposite
side, then push the loose hex bolt back into
the headstock (see figure 25) until your
assistant can tilt the headstock back to the
vertical position.
Note: The head of the hex bolt must re-
engage with the T-slot on the inside of the
headstock for the headstock to move.

reinstall the flat washer and hex nut you
removed earlier.
Always lock the head firmly in place after
adjusting the tilt. unexpected movement of
the head during operations could cause the
cutter to bind with the workpiece causing
damage to the cutter and workpiece, and
possible personal injury.
