No, don't close the screw, just leave it open 1/4 turn and slowly pump 
the pedal until you see the liquid coming up the tube that you have 
suspended beside the car. Once you see there are no bubbles coming up 
through the liquid stop pumping and close the screw. You don't have to 
worry about your foot being on the pedal when you close the screw as the 
pressure from the head of liquid in the tube stops the air being drawn 
in. You will get a little seepage of liquid out of the bleeder screw 
thread during the process, but not much.
