Adjusting the Clamp Pressure

The clamps provided with your stringing ma-
chine will need minor adjustments according 
to what string type, construction, 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 compress-
ing 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 
hex screw 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 accommodate 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.

Adjusting the Turntable Bushings

The turntable bushing is adjusted at the fac-
tory 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 fi t between the turntable pin 
and the bushings, tighten the set screw at the 
top of the bushing using a 3mm hex wrench.
