R Warning! Do not compress the spring to an extent where the coil windings or jaws touch, (Fig.2.A, Fig.2.B).
Ensure the jaws and the body of the compressor are correctly aligned and well spaced at all times during spring compression (Fig.3.A).
For conical springs, the centre line of the spring should remain parallel to the compressor body, (Fig.3.B).
If necessary use the extension block as in Fig.4 to keep the spring and compressor body parallel.
Secure the strut with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
