CAUTION –
When adjusting the optical plummet with the four adjustment screws it is
important that the screws are correctly adjusted. When one screw is adjusted the opposite
screw must be adjusted equally in the reverse direction, in order to keep the correct tension
on the optics. Do not overtighten the screws, this might damage the optics.
