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.
