Adjusting the Clamps
The clamps provided with your stringing
machine will need minor adjustments accord-
ing to string type, construction, and gauge.
To adjust, route the string through the racquet
as if you were beginning the main strings.
Clamp the strings and pull tension. If the
string slips through the jaws of the clamp,
tighten the clamp by turning the adjustment
knob opposite of the handle, in the clockwise
direction. If the clamp leaves impressions or
damages the string, it is too tight and must
be adjusted by turning the adjustment knob
counterclockwise.
The clamp jaws must be clean and free from dirt, oil, and any string coating for them to grip
properly. Clean the clamp jaws with alcohol.
Note: The string clamps supplied with your stringing machine can accommodate tight string
patterns such as badminton. Depending on the string pattern, the clamp will spread the strings
slightly which will not compromise the quality of the string job.
MAINTENANCE & ADJUSTMENTS
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 fi t 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.

Knob
Clamp Base Locking Nut Adjustment
In the event the Locking Lever rotation is
insuffi cient to ensure smooth operation of the
clamp base, very minor adjustments to the
Clamp Base Locking Nut can be made with
the supplied 17mm socket. Tighten or loosen
the locking nut in very small increments to
provide more clamping pressure or running
clearance as needed.
