A VHS video cassette comes with your SENSOR stringing machine. We suggest you to watch 

it in addition to reading this manual, so that you will have a good understanding of the main 

operations for setting up and using the machine, as well as the actions required for 

stringing. 

This machine is intended for professional use and is designed for the stringing of all types of 

rackets - tennis, badminton, squash, etc. - using strings made of synthetic materials or 

natural gut. It must be used by operators who are qualified and well-versed in the operating 

rules and safety instructions set out in this manual. 

Your SENSOR stringing machine is "CE" certified and is in conformity with machine directive 

89/392/EC. We will not assume liability if any alterations are made to the machine without 

our authorisation, thus undermining the safety conditions and invalidating any warranty 

clauses. 

We also wish to draw your attention to the fact that the use of accessories or products other 

than those recommended by BABOLAT may present risks for which we will not be liable.
