CAUTION: When using the dual tool holder micromanipulators, Models MD4R and MD4L, be careful not to twist the revolving, spring-loaded axes too hard or too far. This may damage the spring. World Precision Instruments...
In this manual, you can see how to adjust the anti-drift tension on the M3301, but the procedure is similar for the DC3001R, DC3001L, MD4R, MD4L, KITE-L, KITE-R, MMJR and MMJL. A micromanipulator axis may begin to move gradually under its own weight even if it’s not being touched.
In step 2, you will use a pair of pliers to secure this knob while loosening the black locking nut so that the adjustment can be made. Fig. 3 Fully extend the X-axis away from adjustment knob. World Precision Instruments...

X-Axis Coarse Adjustment knob (Fig. 4). For a KITE, see below. Fig. 4 Loosen the set screw on the M3301. If you have a KITE, use a pair of pliers to secure the X-Axis Coarse Adjustment knob to prevent it from rotating (Fig. 5). Don’t grab the knob with the pliers directly, because the jaws will cut into the aluminum knob.

(Fig. 8). When the tension is adjusted correctly, it will not be easy to move the axis by pushing it. World Precision Instruments...
Fig. 2, then the Y-axis does not typically have a tendency to drift unless the manipulator body is tilted to the left or right relative to the vertical plane passing parallel through the X-axis. World Precision Instruments...
Z-axis and Y-axis Ad- justment knobs which surround it. Once the set screw has been loosened, It may be easier to turn the Adjustment Ring if you keep the screwdriver blade inserted into the screw and orient the flat blade perpendicular to the direction of the turn.

Note the order and orientation of the nylon and spring washer friction compo- nents. When the Z-axis tension adjustments are complete, re-install the friction components and the Y-axis Coarse Adjustment knob in reverse order of disas- sembly. Then, re-adjust the Y-axis tension.
