3.Adjust the headstock rotation around the col- umn by moving the headstock to the desired position.

4.Tighten the hex nuts.

Headstock Tilt

We recommend that an assistant helps with the headstock tilt process, as the headstock is very heavy.

To tilt the headstock:

1.Loosen the large hex bolt.

2.While an assistant holds the headstock steady, turn the locking pin jam nut clockwise to draw the locking pin out. When the pin has been drawn out far enough, the head should be able to tilt.

3.Tilt the head to the desired angle and tighten the large hex bolt.

4.When returning the headstock to the 0º posi- tion, tap the locking pin back into place and tighten the hex nut against the bracket.

5.The small hex bolt and jam nut shown in Figure 24 are used to control the amount of resistance when tilting. To increase resistance, turn the hex bolt clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the hex bolt coun- terclockwise. When resistance adjustments are complete, tighten the jam nut against the bracket.

Headstock Swivel

To swivel the headstock:

1.Loosen the two lock handles at the front of the headstock bracket.

2.Swivel the headstock to the desired point.

3.Tighten the two lock handles.
