A method of (and device for) adjusting a first plane of a work machine, wherein the work machine comprises a first adjustable stabiliser, a second adjustable stabiliser, a third adjustable stabiliser, a fourth adjustable stabiliser and a tilt sensor, wherein: the first, second, third and fourth adjustable stabilisers are each extendable between a minimum extension and a maximum extension, wherein a difference in length between the minimum extension and the maximum extension is the same for each adjustable stabiliser; the first, second, third and fourth adjustable stabilisers are configured to support the work machine when a distal end of each adjustable stabiliser is in contact with a ground surface; a first stabiliser pair comprises the first adjustable stabiliser and the second adjustable stabiliser; and a second stabiliser pair comprises the second adjustable stabiliser and the third adjustable stabiliser; the method comprising: extending the first, second, third and fourth adjustable stabilisers to a first configuration, wherein in the first configuration each adjustable stabiliser is at a calibration extension and the first plane is parallel to a reference plane defined by points of contact of the distal ends of the first, second, third and fourth adjustable stabilisers with the ground surface; adjusting the first stabiliser pair such that the first, second, third and fourth adjustable stabilisers arrive at a second configuration, wherein in the second configuration: either the tilt sensor indicates that the first plane is parallel to a first axis of a target plane; or the first adjustable stabiliser and the second adjustable stabiliser have reached the maximum extension; adjusting the second stabiliser pair such that the first, second, third and fourth adjustable stabilisers arrive at a third configuration, wherein in the third configuration: either the tilt sensor indicates that the first plane is parallel to a second axis of the target plane; or the second adjustable stabiliser and the third adjustable stabiliser have reached maximum extension.
