Tilting Head
1. DISCONNECT MILL FROM POWER!
2. Loosen the three tilt lock bolts on the right
side of the ram adapter shown in Figure 25.
3. Use one hand to apply pressure to the head
in the direction of the tilt, then slowly rotate
the tilt bolt. Rotating this bolt clockwise will
tilt the head back.
4. When the head is in the correct position
for your operation, re-tighten all three lock
bolts.
Always lock the head firmly in place after
tilting or rotating it. Unexpected movement
of the head during operations could cause
damage to the cutter or workpiece.
