To engage the Tonearm’s Anti

-Skate 

mechanism, loop the Nylon Anti-Skate 
String over the Anti-Skate Pin on the 
side of the Tonearm Head. 
 
Next place the String into the groove of 
the Anti-Skate Roller. 
 
The default position of the Anti-Skate 
weight is set to 2 grams. You should 
adjust this setting to what is required 

by your cartridge manufacturer’s 

specification 
 
To make adjustments, fist slightly 

loosen the Weight’s Set Screw

 with the 

supplied Wrench. Next, twist the Anti-
Skate Weight up towards the arm for a 
lighter setting and away from the arm 
for a heavier setting.  Tighten the Set 
Screw again when the Weight is in the 
proper position. 
 
If you are using this Tonearm on a 
J.Sikora turntable with a glass mat, you 
can use that mat for testing. Otherwise, 
use a blank record.
