Clamp Head Operation
Quick Action Clamps are of a dual action
design where the clamp head and clamp
base operate independently of one another.
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and
place the string between the jaws and de-
press the clamp head lever to secure the
string. The clamping pressure applied to the
string should be adjusted to provide suf
fi
cient
pressure to secure the string when subjected
to the desired pulling tension. The diamond
coated gripper plates provide for increased
friction between the clamps and the string
to allow for reduced clamping pressure while securing and holding the string under tension.
Note:
If the string slips in the string clamp while tensioning, adjust the gap between the clamp
jaws per the instructions on page 16.
Clamp Base Operation
Rotate the Base Locking Lever clockwise
to secure the clamp base to the turntable.
Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock
the string clamp. The Locking Lever is
spring loaded to assist the unlocking of the
clamp base.
The Locking Lever should be tightened
enough to prevent clamp base slippage on
the turntable, when the desired tension is
placed on the string. To go from the loose
position to the clamped position and back,
generally requires the rotation permitted by
the slot in the clamp base. If the rotation is not suf
fi
cient to allow smooth operation of, adjust
the Clamp Base Locking Nut as outlined on page 16.
STRINGING THE FRAME
Clamping the First Main String
To begin stringing the main strings, thread
the two ends of the string through the two
center holes at the appropriate end of the
frame and continue through the opposite
center holes. Thread one end of the string
through the adjacent grommet hole and pull
excess by hand.
Secure one of the strings using a string clamp.
