When the spring is forced over the two hubs, attempting to rotate in the direction which opens the capo wraps it down tightly on the hubs, positively engaging them. <p> Rotation in the other direction, to tighten the capo onto the strings, is not restricted. To release the capo, the control tang is moved in the direction to unwind the spring, thus releasing the clutch. </td> </tr> </table> <p> <h2>How To Use a G7th Performance Capo</h2> <table width="100%" cellpadding=10> <tr> <td valign=top width="20%"> <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/g7th-capo-use-1.jpg" border=0 align=top width=120 height=120> </td> <td valign=top width="20%"> <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/g7th-capo-use-2.jpg" border=0 align=top width=120 height=120> </td> <td valign=top width="20%"> <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/g7th-capo-use-3.jpg" border=0 align=top width=120 height=120> </td> <td valign=top width="20%"> <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/g7th-capo-use-4.jpg" border=0 align=top width=120 height=120> </td> <td valign=top width="20%"> <img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/G/01/musical_instruments/detail-page/g7th-capo-use-5.jpg" border=0 align=top width=120 height=120> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top> Push the small black lever to release the arms </td> <td valign=top> Position the capo just behind the fret </td> <td valign=top> Squeeze to tighten from above or below </td> <td valign=top> Press the small black lever to release </td> <td valign=top> Store on the headstock when not in use </td> </tr> </table>
