stage of the M-2 offers 10˚ of upward or downward tilt.
Unlock both tilt lock clamps.
There’s one on each side of the

tilt the stage as you prefer.
Lock both clamps and re-balance
slightly fore-aft.

Also, the nut on the far side of each clamp can be adjusted to fine tune the locking orientation of the tilt lock clamps.
