TROUBLESHOOTING  TIPS

CARE & CLEANING

With time and use, the clamping surfaces of your machine may become oily or dirty and result 
in string or clamp slippage while stringing. Periodic cleaning of the String Clamps, String Clamp 
Base and String Gripper is recommended. Knife sharpening stones work well for cleaning the 
diamond coated string clamping surfaces. Cleaning with a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol 
and a mild abrasive tool such as a toothbrush also works well to remove oily or greasy build up.

PROBLEM

SOLUTION

String slips in clamps

- Adjust gap between clamp jaws
- Clean clamp jaws

String slips in gripper

- Adjust gripper jaw stop screw 
- Clean gripper jaws

String clamp base slips on turntable

- Clean bottom of clamp & top of turntable with 

alcohol

- Adjust clamp base locking nut

String tension too tight or too loose

- Check tension using a tension calibrator, 

adjust machine calibration if necessary

2pt Hold Down Clamp Adjustment

The 2pt hold down clamps have been ad-
justed at the factory.  However, depending on 
the racquet frame thickness, the hold down 
clamp may require adjustment. Use a 3 mm 
hex wrench and turn the set screw clockwise 
to reduce the hold down clamp pressure and 
counter clockwise to increase the hold down 
clamp pressure.

Note: To avoid potential damage to the rac-
quet only make small adjustments at a time 
by slightly turning the set screw by no more 
than 1/4 of a turn. Test the hold down lever 
to  insure  the  racquet  is  held  snuggly  but 
without applying excessive force to the lever.

Periodically clean the hold down clamp pin using rubbing alcohol to remove residue or dirt, 
that may build up over time.
