Perhaps the confusion could have been avoided by the writers of the 
manual using the more unambiguous "align" ( 1: to bring into line or 
alignment, 2: to be in or come into precise adjustment or correct 
relative position) as opposed to "set" (1: a: the act or action of 
setting, b: the condition of being set, {and also}. . . 6: the manner 
of fitting or of being placed or suspended) and/or I could read about 
the entire procedure before attempting to perform any one of the steps 
of said procedure.
