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. Knife sharpening stones work well for cleaning the
diamond coated string clamping surfaces. Cleaning with a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol
and a mild abrasive tool such as a toothbrush also works well to remove oily or greasy build up.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
String slips in clamps - Adjust gap between clamp jaws
- Clean clamp jaws
String slips in gripper - Clean gripper jaws
- Make sure string is wrapped over top gripper
prior to inserting between gripper jaws
String clamp base slips on turntable - Clean bottom of clamp & top of turntable with
alcohol
- Adjust clamp base locking nut
