I'm pretty sure it's set to USA. I'll post some pics I took previously, if they're not good enough let me know and I'll pull the board and take pics.

Malenko is telling the truth (Unlike all those times when he is a filthy liar). I actually used a long metal len wrench and while it did heat up, I had about 5-6 minutes before I had to pull it off and let it rest. It didn't take long to adjust but it did take about 15-20 turns before the width was right.

So it's okay to use metal? I read that you can easily break the knob. I'm not worried about it heating up, I'm just scared of the monitor so more than likely I'll be adjusting it while it is off. I have a ton of allen wrenches to choose from so maybe I can use one of those? No store around here carries the plastic tool.

No doubt! I drove to several stores and the puzzled looks from the sales reps got annoying fast.

I used metal and I left the monitor on, but one tip I saw suggested turning off the monitor between adjustments. I used a long allen wrench. It's tricky to get back there.

Ryoshin:
Yeah, I'd like to get a longer one. Monitors just give me the chills lol. Home Depot or the like a good place to get a long one?

EDIT: I just went to Lowes to get extra long allen key set... Doesn't have the right size ARGH! I got one that's just too small and one that's just too big.

EDIT 2: *Sigh* I seem to have some how ruined the width adjustment. Allen key will no longer go in, I suppose my allen key although seemed to be the right size was just slightly too small. Also my adjustment looks nothing like all the videos and pics I see, instead of the usual white with the head at the very time, mine is black, fatter and has a deep hole and that's where the adjustment is, it's really a big PIA. I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have bought this machine for the price I paid for it.

Ryoshin:
Ok I decided to adjust the width with the monitor on. No matter what I do I cannot get the adjustment to turn it just wont budge, I'm afraid I'm going to strip it even worse. But I found out that just sticking the allen key in there fixes the picture and makes it perfect. Anyone know what that means? Would it hurt anything to just leave an allen key in there all the time? Also when I pull the allen key out there's a bunch of really nasty black tar-like looking liquid all over the key, any idea what that is?

EDIT: DUR! nevermind the allen key is getting so hot it is melting the plastic.
