Restringing with the Patatuss Penguin
1. Place the instrument in a secure spot and carefully unwind the string with
the Penguin.
☞
Caution | Removing the strings one at a time is recommended. Removing
all 6 guitar strings at the same time could cause problems due to rapid tension
change.
2. After inserting the bridge pin firmly into the bridge pin puller of the
Penguin, lift up, and the bridge pin will release smoothly.
☞
Caution | In the case where the bridge pin has not been inserted fully into
the bridge pin puller, the leverage effect on the partially hooked pin can
damage the bridge of the guitar as well as the puller itself.
3. Insert a new string into the bridge hole and fix it with the bridge pin. At this
point, pull the string in order to make sure that it is correctly fixed.
4. After spreading the string across the string peg, cut it while leaving 4~5cm
of the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings and approximately 6~8cm of the 1st, 2nd, and
3rd strings.
☞
Caution | When cutting the string, do not place your fingers between the
handle and body. You could injure yourself.
5. Insert guitar strings into the peg holes and wind up the string using the
Penguin. At this point, you should maintain the tension of the string by
pulling the string with your other hand. The number of times this should be
performed is between 2~3 in the case of the 4th, 5th, and 6th strings, and
approximately 4~6 times in the case of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd strings.
☞
Caution | Fine tuning is best done manually. Do not use this product to
wind the string all the way to end, or for tuning, since the strings could
become damaged. When winding up the string, arrange it evenly according
to the picture and wind up the peg at least 2~3 times so that correct, precise
tuning can be achieved.
6. Change the rest of the strings as outlined in steps 1~5.
7. Fine tuning should be directly finished by hand. At this point, even though
tuning has been completed, you should repeat the tuning process while
pulling the strings to ensure that accurate pitch can be maintained.
