Recommendations
For 2712 Series pneumatic grips:

In the documentation supplied with the grips, read and follow the safety
recommendations for installing a specimen.
•
Use the Operator Protection feature in Bluehill

grip pressure (default 15 psi) during set up and you can set a lower initial grip
pressure if your risk assessment requires it.
