2. Turn the table raising and lowering handle (D)
clockwise to raise the table and counter-clockwise
to lower the table. See Figure 10-2.
3. After the table is at the desired height, tighten the
table height lock handle.
NOTE: Always raise (rather than lower) the table to the
final position to allow the gears to mesh and prevent
slippage.
,
The table (A) can be rotated 360 degrees by loos-
ening the table rotation lock handle (E) and rotating
the table to the desired position, and tightening the
table clamp. See Figure 10-2.
NOTE: For thru-drilling operations, make sure the table
center hole is aligned with the drill bit.
6. Loosen the table locking bolt (H) and tilt the table to
the desired angle, and tighten the table locking bolt.
See Figure 10-4.
,
A tilt scale (I) is provided on the table bracket cast-
ing to indicate the degree of tilt. A witness line (J) is
provided on the table to align with the tilt scale.
See Figure 10-1.
NOTE: When the table is returned to the level position,
replace the table alignment pin. This will position the
table surface 90 degrees to the spindle.
See Figure 10-3.
