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.
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 45R or 45L.
If you do not pay attention, it can flip over,
causing serious personal injury and pos-
sible machine damage.

engage with the T-slot on the inside of the
headstock for the headstock to move.
