Procedures are the same for all press types.
METHOD 1
When the guitar or neck is not underneath the press.
Wind the screw down, swap cauls and wind back up.
METHOD 2
When the guitar is underneath the press.
Slide the small black thrust collar into the cauls 'T' slot.
Push the caul up to locate the collar onto the end of the press screw.
(The collar has an internal spring that retains it on the screw).
TO REMOVE THE CAUL
To remove the caul, pull the collar downwards.
