The manual states: "*Loosen the two rear thumbscrews before adjusting the legs. Tighten them afterwards.*"
...and if that method is followed, it's simple and works 100 percent. If the leg movement were simply friction-based without screws, it would be even simpler, but maybe at the expense of them loosening up over time due to mechanical wear and not being able to be adjusted. (Of course that doesn't invalidate your preference for being able to just move the legs without dealing with the screws.) 73, --Andrew, NV1B maineware.net ..
