TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
FUSE REPLACEMENT
To change the fuse, remove the power cord and pull the fuse holder straight out. Remove
the old fuse from the holder and replace it with the supplied spare. Replace the fuse holder
into the machine and check for proper operation.
CARE and 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 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 screw. 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
Follow the same procedure for cleaning the string clamps.
String tension too tight or too loose. - Check tension using a tension
calibrator and adjust machine calibra-
tion if necessary
Electrical system does not function. - Check power source.
- Check power cord connection.
- Check stringing machine fuse.
