2. Slide the spring over the special screw. Push
the screw through the locking handle and
thread it into the locking clamp located on the
side of the headstock.

be tightened down and then turned out of the

handle, push in and turn clockwise.
Releasing the handle will disengage the
threaded shaft, allowing you to reposition the
