When the cable guide (plastic "neck") on the cover pushes against the hinge
after reassembly, the cover can break when the iron is folded.

2. Lay the iron on its back, on a mat or blanket to prevent scratching.
3. Tie a sturdy cord (such as twine) to the J-hook at the bottom of the spring.

spring. Grab the J-hook at the bottom of the spring with pliers and pull it

stabilize the table.
