1. If the flex frame is fully closed<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Release a hinge by\u00a0removing the nail that holds it.\u00a0The other hinge must remain closed.<\/p>\n

To remove one of the nails, you can use a nail\u00a0clipper: grab the nail head with the nail clipper\u00a0and gently pull with small circular movements.<\/p>\n

Be careful not to lose the nail:<\/strong> remove it to a\u00a0surface on which it will not roll (above a scrap\u00a0of fleece for example).\u00a0Carefully store the nail, once it is removed from\u00a0the hinge.<\/em><\/p>\n
