[rollei_list] precautions with cable-release?

I recently bought a rolleifix in haste from e-bay before realising that it
was actually a rolleifix+pistol grip....! Having discarded the pistol bit I
now have a perfectly serviceable cable release too. I use a 2.8fx and will
certainly need a cable release if I'm to justify using a tripod - shutter
release takes quite a push o n this model. All I'm concerned about is
whether one could damage the internal shutter mechanism through an over
zealous 'step' on the cable release? Presumably the rollei has some kind of
blocking mechanism - and afterall the unit was designed for a rolleiflex -
but there can be no harm asking.
