Why need to loose hardness and pressure ?

Pressure loose is to nulify the previous product presure.
if high pressure is present then for weight adjustment turret may stuck or sudden high presure may demage tooling.
thumb rule is to first adjust weight then hardness.
pressure loose mean not to zero pressure bcz at zero pressure we can not pick tab for weight slight pressure is present.
