MACHINE FUNCTIONS
Pre-stretch Function
The Pre-stretch function is used to pre-
stretch strings by increasing the applied
tension by a set percentage over the tension
setting before releasing the string and re-
pulling to the desired tension. This function
helps to reduce the amount of tension loss
in the strings over time.
Pressing the PRE-STRETCH button will toggle the Pre-stretch function on and off and display
the Pre-stretch Icon and Pre-Stretch Setting. When the Pre-Stretch function is enabled, a
small Pre-stretch Icon will appear on the Stringing Screen below the Tens digit of the tension
setting. When the Pre-stretch function is disabled, or when the pre-stretch setting is 0%, the
Pre-stretch Icon will not be visible on the Stringing Screen.
Setting the Pre-Stretch from the
Stringing Screen
To change the Pre-stretch Setting while in the
Stringing Screen, press the PRE-STRETCH
button once and while the Pre-Stretch Icon
is visible on the display, press and hold the
PRE-STRETCH button again until the Pre-
stretch Setting is highlighted. Press any of
the F2, F3 or F4 keys to increase the Pre-
stretch Setting in 1% increments and any of the F6, F7 or F8 keys to decrease the Pre-stretch
Setting in 1% increments. When the desired Pre-stretch Setting is displayed, press ENTER
to save the Pre-stretch Setting for the active Memory Setting.
NOTE: Selectable Pre-stretch Settings range from 0% to 30% in 1% increments.
