DANGER
There is stored energy built up by high
tensioned compression springs inside the
balancing device! When a coil is cut the
released tension creates a spatter of
sparks and flames.
The working area must be free of flam-
mable materials. Position the balancing
device so that the spatter will be directed
away from personnel.

Clamp the device at the working location.
Place the device at ground level so that
the hole and spring coils are cut from a
safe distance and somewhat from above.
