The instructions in this section are written with the under-
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge
and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you
are experiencing difficulties performing any operation,
stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced vertical mill operator before per-
forming any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety
should come first!
Always wear safety glasses when oper-
ating the mill. Failure to comply may
result in serious personal injury.
READ and understand this entire instruc-

and can rotate horizontally on the column 45˚ in both
directions.

2. Make sure the spindle is stopped and the work area
is free from obstructions before proceeding.
3. Loosen the four nuts that lock the headstock in place
with a 17mm wrench (see Figure 14 on next page).
4. Rotate the headstock to the desired angle.
5. Tighten the spindle locking nuts.
Note: Additional setup tools should be used to determine
the precise angle of the spindle head.
