Setting the Table Angle
When you open the access port beneath the table, the cast iron
table then can be tilted back by -5˚degrees thus enabling you
to cut dovetails, see fig 48-49-50.

The cast iron table can be tilted form 0-45˚ degrees. On the tilt
quadrant there are two pre-drilled holes to check the table is
set at 45˚ or 90˚ degrees using the preset locating pin. The
table can also be tilted back -5˚degrees for cutting dovetails,
by opening the access port beneath the table.
1. To tilt the table loosen both clamping handles beneath the
cast iron table and turn the tilt quadrant adjusting knob until
you reached the required angle then tighten both clamping
handles to lock the table in position, see fig 42-43-44-45.

2. When setting the table at 45˚or 90˚ degrees, you can check
the table is set correctly by pressing the ‘preset’ locating pin in,
see fig 46-47.
Note: the preset pin should slot through one of the preset
holes in the tilt quadrant. If however you cannot, adjust
the table until the pin slots smoothly through. This will
tell you the table is set correctly at the specific angle.
