Hi,
there are many ways how to describe it, but the instructions should not contain wrong steps.
The main problem at the lockwiki instruction set is the "three full revolutions" in the second step. The same problem is at the third step. The unexperienced user makes N full revolutions as stated and then thinks what to do next...and doesn't know that everything is lost and he must return to the first step.
One way how to correct it is to add one word: "Almost three full revolutions" were correct then. But it will look strange. Such words like "almost, not too much, just enough" etc. in instruction manuals are confusing. Thus, a better way is to keep the instructions more similar to that ones found in SG or LG manuals. My English is not enough good to do it myself, simple but correct. In one thread I recommended to add a short note - and it was taken as unmannered from me.
Another thing is that it seems to me, that another approach were easier to understand and to follow. I described it in another thread - it's based on 3/2/1 full revolution(s) followed by further rotation in the same direction until the desired code number is aligned with the index. But I am far away from sticking on that - it's simply my opinion and I use this method for myself. And as I see from another PM received recently, I am not alone in that.
Cheers!
