What Parazine said.
I played with mine when I put on new linings and I set up so that the levers were about 10-15 degrees away from vertical. Then about 5 degrees is taken up in the slack when pressing on pedal and some of the rest is taken up under pressure of brakes applied, so they never quite get to vertical where leverage is progressively reduced. I was very pleased with results from both new pads and set up as braking was markedly improved.
I had previously replaced the cable with a replacement from David C which fitted well but yes also agree that it should move smoothly and not catch.
