Mazzer Super Jolly doser adjustment - what am I doing wrong?

Well my SJ works like a champ BUT no matter what I do I can't get it to dose less than 20g on 3 pulls. No matter how much I turn the adjustment knob clockwise is won't dose less!

EDIT ON THE FLY:

I could have just deleted this post but as I was writing it I realized my folly and decided to post anyway to give someone a good laugh.

Why not just adjust for a larger dose and 2 pulls?

Doh!

If this is for home use, and you aren't making a large number of drinks at a time, most adjust the doser to the minimum level and click-click-click as quickly as the grinder can produce coffee, using the doser as a dispensing and distribution device and not at all to measure the coffee. In a commercial environment where the doser is kept full it is a different matter.
