Using this record clamp is super easy. Just place it on the record spindle and it'll start doing its job right away. As it plays, it helps to flatten the record and reduce vibrations. One thing to keep in mind is to handle it gently as it's made of plastic. Avoid dropping it or using excessive force. For maintenance, you can simply wipe it with a clean, dry cloth every once in a while. This will keep it in good shape and ensure it continues to work well with your turntable, whether it's a high - end or a low - torque model.
