The spindle tilt wheel has stops at 90° and 45°; rotate clockwise to increase the angle, counterclockwise to decrease. The angle indicator may not reflect the spindle angle accurately as you adjust; as always, measure the spindle angle as you adjust. If the 90° or 45° stop positions are out of alignment, use any maintenance QR code in the shop to request that they be adjusted.
