So which is it? Dangerous? Not dangerous? Is 110v. electricity
dangerous?
Are those springs dangerous? Do they need tweaking? (not a job for a
newbie that can't follow the directions for putting up the opener) The
track is VERY EASY to tweak.


And is tweaking good or bad?


Tweaking, meaning minor adjustments is good.

Tweaking a straight piece of track, as in bending unintentionally, is bad.
(This is VERY easy for an inexperienced person to do while installing a GDO
by themselves.) Particularly if that person does not comprehend the
instructions. Unless you are a pro, I think it is a two person job. And it
is good for one of those people to comprehend the instructions.

Tweaking, as in adjusting garage door springs if you don't have experience
doing so, is dangerous.

And just plain tweaking will rot your brain.
