Hi mkmosho and welcome to the forum!
All of our canning is done in jars so I can't offer any advice from my experience. Stanley Marianski authored a book on home canning and does cover canning sealers to some extent. If you haven't checked out his book yet, it might be worth your while. Take a look here for a sample of some of the pages from the book:

Are you asking about the "spring pressure" applied to the base that holds the bottom part of the can ??
If so, my tin can seamer recommends compressing a specific measurement... like a 1/4" or something... It's been awhile since I have used it... Spacers are inserted until a certain gap has been achieved.... There should be a description in your manual on how to make that adjustment...
If you need a manual, they can usually be found on-line....
