MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS
Your GAMMA 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
adjusments as follows :
Adjusting the Clamp Pressure
The clamps provided with your stringing machine will need
minor adjustments according to what string type, construc-
tion, and gauge you are using.
To adjust the gap (clamping pressure) between the clamp
jaws, insert 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 compressing the clamp jaws together
by hand while turning the Adjustment Knob, in the clockwise
direction. If the clamp leaves impressions or damages the
string, it may be excessively tight and should be adjusted
by turning the Adjustment Knob counter clockwise to open
the gap between the jaws. The clamp jaws should be cleaned periodically to be free from dirt,
oil, and any string coating for them to grip properly.
Note: The string clamps supplied with your stringing machine can accomodate tight string
patterns such as badminton. Depending on the string pattern, the clamp may spread the strings
slightly which will not compromise the quality of the string job.
Turntable Bushing Adjustment
The turntable bushing is adjusted at the
factory 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.

String Clamp Base Adjustment
The string clamp bases do not require
adjustment. The simple “Lever Bolt & Nut”
design, provides maximum flexibility for
providing clamping pressure to the turn-
table and running clearance for reposition-
ing. Approximately 1/2 turn is all that is need
to lock and release the clamp base from the
turntable.
