The fine focusing knobs are attached on both sides as a factory
default.

from contacting the fine focusing knob when operating
X-axis knob and Y-axis knob.

The tension of the coarse focusing knob can be changed if necessary.
Be sure to use the course focusing tension adjustment
ring
a
to adjust the tension of the coarse focusing knob.
Its tension is adjusted to tight as a factory default in order
to secure the pad for protecting the focusing unit.
Rotating the coarse focusing tension adjustment ring a in the arrow
direction increases the tension and in the opposite direction decreases
the tension.
If the objective descends by its own weight or the focus
obtained with the fine focusing knob is lost soon, the coarse
focusing tension adjustment ring is set too loose.
In this case, rotate the coarse focusing tension adjustment
ring a in the arrow direction to increase the tension.
