correctly.

Open the screw just enough to be able to revolve the arm tube without applying force. Please note: do not
remove the screw completely!
With the aid of a good magnifying glass adjust the needle until it is vertical in the groove (i.e. perpendicular
to the record's surface). Ideally this should correspond to the top surface of the cartridge body being parallel
to the record surface.
After adjusting the needle parallel, retight the screw carefully.
