2.Loosen the headstock locking lever (see Figure 13).

3.Position the headstock along the lathe bed and secure it in place by tightening the locking lever.

Note: The large clamping hex nut underneath the headstock may require occasional adjusting to ensure proper clamping pressure of the headstock to the bed.

3.Pull out the headstock rotation locking pin (see Figure 14), and rotate the headstock in place.

4.Release the locking pin to secure the headstock in one of the five pre-set positions: 0°, 60°, 90°, 120°, or 180°.
