CARE & CLEANING
With time and use, the clamping surfaces of your machine may become oily or dirty and result
in string or clamp slippage while stringing. Periodic cleaning of the String Clamps, String
Clamp Base, and String Gripper is recommended using a cleaning solvent such as isoproyl
alcohol and a mild abrasive tool such as a toothbrush.
