Can You Defeat the Anti Skating in a Schroder CB Tonearm?


When setting up a cartridge and tonearm one should always defeat the anti skate mechanism. 
The Schroder CB tonearm has a magnetic anti skate mechanism adjusted by a grub screw in the lift platform. It came with the grub screw about 1 cm in and very noticeable anti skating force applied. Can you defeat this by backing out the grub screw a little or do you have to remove it all the way? There must be a magnet on the other side of the screw. I'm always a bit nervous about removing screws when I do not know what is on the other side. I envision magnets shooting across the room into oblivion.

Just like on Reed 3P? Well, at least on 3p it’s adjustable (also magnetic anti skating with screw in and out). 
Test record for anti skating is good
