Sorry, I wasn't sure what section to put this question in...
I'm putting together a table and the directions say to put the bold, then flat washer and then spring washer, but the picture seems to show the spring washer in the middle. Is there a 'standard' order that they should go in? Here's what I'm referring to (click to enlarge):
You can see in the picture that the both the description and the picture say to do H1, H3, H4 (which is bolt, flat, spring), but if you look closely at the picture of the table, it seems that the spring washer is really in the middle.
Thanks for any help!

To use a lock washer, start by placing the washer under the nut or threaded fastener. Check that the washer is tight against both surfaces and, if the threaded fastener and washer both have grooves, that they&#;re locked together. Then, tighten your threaded fastener with a wrench or ratchet until it is firm but can be loosened and removed if necessary. When finished, check that your washer&#;s teeth are fully covered or, if you&#;re using a split lock washer, that the threaded fastener is slightly out of alignment. For tips on removing and choosing a lock washer, read on!
