)% Wipe off any oil on the spring lock cover (=`^li\*()
so it does not slip in your fingers when you hold the
cover from spinning.
*% While holding the spring lock cover against the side
of the head stock so the cover stays splined with the
locking lug; loosen the jam nut and loosen the cover
nut approximately 1⁄4" (see =`^li\*)).
+% Put on heavy leather gloves to protect your hands
from possible lacerations if the spring uncoils during
the next step.

spring-cover lock slot from the locking lug.
