14.3 Spring cartridge demolition
Warning
When the spring cartridge is considered waste material it is usually opened by
using a blowtorch; this operation can become very dangerous if certain safety
precautions are not observed.
Here following the minimum:
- Before starting to disassemble the spring cartridge, a large slot must be
created, using a blowtorch or a grinding wheel, on the spring container to allow
to
discover at least 3 or 4 coils of the spring. (see Figure 20)
-
Cut all the spring coils accessible from the slot, to release the spring tension.
-
Now the spring cartridge is ready for disassembling and demolition
.
