Your stringing machine is adjusted for optimum performance at the factory and needs no
further adjustments before use. After extensive use however, the machine may need minor
adjustments as follows :
MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
Clamp Adjustment
The floating clamps provided with your ma-
chine will need minor adjustments according
to what string type, construction, and gauge
you are using.
If the strings slip through the jaws of the
clamp, tighten the clamp by turning the
thumb knob opposite of the handle, in the
clockwise direction. If the clamps leave
impressions or damages the string, they are
too tight and the thumb wheel must be turned
counterclockwise.
The clamp jaws must be clean and free
from dirt, oil, and any string coating for them to grip properly. Keep the clamp jaws clean with
isopropyl alcohol.

Turntable Bushing Adjustment
The turntable bushing is adjusted at the fac-
tory for optimum performance. After time and
use, the turntable bushings may need minor
adjustment. An adjustment is indicated when
noticeable turntable looseness or wobble
occurs while stringing.
To adjust the fit between the turntable pin
and the bushings, tighten the set screw at the
top of the bushing using a 3mm hex wrench.
Tighten until the turntable rotates smoothly
without excessive free play.
