How do i adjust the sights on my ak-47?

I have a yougo m70 underfolder (ak-47) and i finally got it to the range yesterday. at 25 yards it was shooting really low (first few didnt even hit the paper) and to the left just a bit. how can i adjust the sights so that it it centers a little better?

The front sight can be adjusted with a special tool that should of come with it. You rotate the sight post as you would a screw and the post moves accordingly. Since its shooting up you want to lower it. To adjust windage you see that circle on both sides of the front sight? Tap that to move the front sight post left or right. Tap it to the right.

The windage is supposed to be adjusted with a sight tool that looks like a lemon squeezer.
On rifles where you are adjusting the front sight, you need to move opposite of the direction you want the hits to go. To move your hits up lower the front sight, to move your hits to the right move your sight to the left. Counter intuitive slightly until you think about it.
