With the "coarse" adjustment, the adjustment mechanism causes a large amount of movement in the thing being adjusted with very little movement of the adjusting mechanism.

With the "fine" adjustment, the adjustment mechanism causes a small amount of movement in the thing being adjusted with a lot of movement of the adjusting mechanism.

Frequently the two adjustments will be two knobs each with different gearing - say on a telescope focus mechanism. The coarse adjustment allows the telescope focus to be moved quickly then the fine adjustment allows the observer to gently bring the focus to be "pin sharp".
