Clamp Head Operation
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and
place the string between the jaws and de-
press the clamp head lever to secure the
string. The clamping pressure applied to the
string should be adjusted to provide suffi-
cient pressure to secure the string when
subjected to the desired pulling tension. The
diamond coated gripper plates provide for
increased friction between the clamps and
the string to allow for reduced clamping
pressure while securing and holding the
string under tension.
Quick Action Clamp Base Operation
Rotate the Base Locking Lever clockwise to
secure the clamp base to the turntable.
Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock
the string clamp. The Locking Lever is spring
loaded to assist the unlocking of the clamp
base.
The Locking Lever should be tightened
enough to prevent clamp base slippage on
the turntable, when the desired tension is
placed on the string. To go from the loose
position to the clamped position and back,
generally requires the travel permitted by the clamp base. If the travel is not sufficient to allow
smooth operation of, adjust the Clamp Base as outlined in the Clamp Base Adjustment section.

Clamp Head Adjustment
The clamp heads 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 compressing the clamp jaws together
by hand while turning the Adjustment Knob, in the clock-
wise direction. If the clamp leaves impressions or dam-
ages 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 must be cleaned periodically to be free from
dirt and any residue for them to grip properly.
Note
: The string clamps supplied with your stringing machine can accomodate 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.
