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 following parts is recommended.
String Clamps
Clean the inside gripping surfaces of the string clamp jaws by inserting a cloth or pipe cleaner soaked with isopropyl
alcohol between the jaws and rub back and forth. If the build-up is excessive, dismantle the string clamp jaws to
expose the gripping surfaces by removing the adjustment knob. Using a small nylon brush, (such as a toothbrush),
scrub the inside surfaces until all debris is removed. Clean the jaws with isopropyl alcohol and re-assemble.
String Clamp Base
Clean the base of the clamps and the top of the turntable with isopropyl alcohol.
String Gripper
Clean inner gripping surfaces with isopropyl acohol soaked cloth or pipe cleaner.
