Handle will loosen a bit when the new shoes bed in. Personally, I install new shoes and then drive the car and use the parking brake to stop it twice from 30 MPH (letting it cool a bit between stops).
Then adjust the handle for 3 clicks up.
This works for Volvo and Mercedes, though the MB is a foot pedal, it is the same set up and I've done shoes on all 4 cars.
See the resource section.
10mm open end wrench and a nylon trim tool are all you need to adjust it on a Volvo.
