Mike, Don't worry about frying things, but do keep the power low. It will climb when you do the adjustment. If it gets higher than 3 or 4 watts, either wiggle the power knob a bit and it will readjust or drop out of TUNE and re-enter and the power level will start out again at 2 watts. Yes, you want to adjust the slugs for maximum power output - that is the correct setting.
