Adjusting  the  String  Clamp  Jaw 
Spacing

The  string  clamps  will  need  minor  adjust-
ments according to what string type, con-
struction, 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 squeezing 
the clamp jaws together by hand while turn-
ing 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 
Adjustment Knob counter clockwise to open the gap between the jaws. 

NOTE: Due to the bearings used in the Clamp Lever the action of the Clamp Lever is 
very light making it easy to apply excessive clamping pressure. Clamps that are set 
too tight can damage the string as well as the string clamp jaws. 

The clamp jaws should be cleaned periodically to be free from dirt, oil, and any string coating 
residue to grip properly. Knife sharpening stones are excellent for removing build-up on the 
diamond coated surfaces and are available.

Quick Action Clamp Base Removal

Quick Action clamp bases can be removed 
from the turntable for maintenance or cleaning 
by removing clamp stop located at the end 
of  the  slot  in  the  turntable. To  remove  the 
clamp stop, remove the two screws holding 
the clamp stop in place from the underside of 
the turntable.  Lift the clamp stop out of the 
slot, slide the clamp base to the end of the 
slot and lift it out. Replace the clamp base 
and clamp stop in reverse order.

Adjusting the  Clamp Base Locking 
Nut

In  the  event  the  Locking  Lever  rotation  is 
insuffi cient to ensure smooth operation of the 
clamp base, very minor adjustments to the 
Clamp Base Locking Nut can be made with 
the supplied 17mm socket wrench. Tighten 
or loosen the locking nut in very small incre-
ments to provide more clamping pressure or 
running clearance as needed.
