• Align the horizontal line of the crosshair with the front and rear edges of heat block gauge.
• Tighten (just by 1/4 turn) each of the four (4) M3 screws, making sure that the heat block assembly does not move when the screws are tightened.
• Verify the theta position of heat block assembly by chessing the horizontal line of the crosshair from left to right on the front edge of the heat block gauge.
