— 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.
