Try this. Remove the weights off the chains. Slowly move the minute hand until it chimes the full hour (in your case when the clock would chime four times it would show 4:30). Now carefully unscrew the screw holding the hands, trying not to move the axis. Readjust the hour and minute hands and screw them back. That's how I set my clock. If you do not have a screw holding the hands it may be that they are just squeezed onto the axis. In this case you would need to carefully pull them off and again readjust them and push them back.
