2.With the help of an assistant, lift the headstock assembly above the column, and gently slide it down the column as far as it will go.

3.Place a ruler or tape measure on the base and suspend a plum bob from the center of the headstock spindle so it is over the tape/ruler as shown in Figure 9.
4.Center the headstock directly over the base as indicated by the plum bob and ruler.
5.Tighten the two headstock setscrews to the column, as shown in Figure 10.
