One of the screws (closest to the eyepiece) is the tension and the other is a focus lock. You don't want the lock tightened or you won't be able to move the focus tube. You need enough tension on the tension screw to allow the tube to move when you adjust the focus but not too loose where the tube will move under the weight of the eyepiece.
