Step  1: 

Insert  the 

angled  frame 

supports  (9)

  into  the  appropriate 

slots located on the end of the 

side 

support arms (8)

. The two slots are 

designed  to  accommodate  most 

racquets.   

Step  2: 

Place  the  racquet  on  the 

machine.  The  12  and  6  o’clock 

frame  supports  (11)

  should  be  on 

the inside of the frame. The 

angled 

frame supports (9)

 should be on the 

outside.  Tighten  the  12  and  6 

o’clock 

frame  supports

 

(11)

  until 

they  are  just  touching  the  frame. 

Then  tighten  the 

angled  frame 

supports  (9)

  until  they  are  firm 

(finger tight). Go back to the 12 and 

6  o’clock 

frame  supports  (11)

  and 

tighten  them  to  finger  tight  also. 

The  fit  should  be  snug,  but  use 

caution. NOTE: Over-tightening can 

cause stress on the frame. 

Step 3:

 

This  manual  does  not  explain  how 

to  string  a  racquet,  simply  how  to 

use  the  machine.  With  the 

tension 

bar  (6) 

upright,  place  the  string  in 

the 

linear  string  gripper  (2)

.  Using 

your finger, press the internal string 

gripper back to grab the string.

 

Step  4:

  Use  your  hand  to  let  the 

tension bar (6)

 drop down allowing 

gravity  to  take  over  which  applies 

tension  to  the  string.  The  tension 

will  be  correct  when  the  bar  is 

parallel  with  the  ground  (perfectly 

horizontal / level).
