3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
! WARNING! Determine the outer diameter and the compressed load of the spring and check that the
compressor is suitable.
! WARNING! Do not compress the spring to an extent where the coil windings touch, Fig 2A.
! WARNING! Do not compress the spring to an extent where the jaws touch, Fig 2B.
