Probably the easiest way to set this kind of points is to run the hold-down screw in until snug, but not fully tight. Use a screwdriver which will bridge the two slots and twist it to set the gap where you want it and then tighten the screw the rest of the way. This is easier to do than the description makes it sound like.
