— if the headstock binds after you tilt it, follow

Steps 5-9 to return the headstock to its
vertical position.

Hold the motor housing when tilting. Do

not hold the drawbar cap. If you do, the cap

can come off and the headstock can swing

down uncontrollably, causing severe per-

sonal injury or machine damage.

Headstock Tilting

the head tilts from 45º right to 45º left (see

figure 22). however, the headstock can be tilted
past 45ºr or 45º. if this is done, you will not be
able to use the angle scale, and the headstock
lock bolts may bind.

NOTICE

This mill is designed to operate with a right-

left headstock tilt of 45º. To prevent head-

stock binding and insufficient support, do

not tilt the headstock to a full 90º. binding

occurs when one of the hex bolts on the

side of the headstock (figures 23–24) binds

in the T-slot.
