DISASSEMBL
Y
For the disassembly and assembly it is easy to use a vise or a special piece of wood with a slot in it to
hold the clamp as shown in figure 2.
To disassemble the clamp unscrew the Alan bolt and take of the closing mechanism.
GRINDING THE CLAMP PARTS.
To clamp the string with a minimum clamping force the
clamping surface must be equally rough.
Grind the clamping surface by moving the clamp up and
down over a piece of grinding cloth.
Support the grinding cloth on a flat surface like a table.
THE ASSEMBLY OF THE
CLAMP.
- Put the spring in the hole
between the front and the back
of the clamp.
- Clamp both castings on top
of each other in the clamping device.
- Put the Alan bolt in from the back.
- Put the square nut on the Alan bolt and screw the bolt into the nut
until the nut is level with the surface of the clamp.
- Slide the spring washer over the Alan bolt.
- Turn the pull rod of the eccentric set on the Alan bolt until it compresses the spring washer
completely.
- Turn the pull rod ¼ revolution backwards.
- If the eccentric is in the right position, with the handle downwards, turn the Alan bolt into the pull
rod until the nylon washer hits the surface of the clamp.
If the closing mechanism is in the wrong position:
- Unscrew the Alan bolt holding the eccentric, so that the square nut
comes out of the hole in the clamp.
- Turn the pull rod / eccentric in the right position.
- Turn the Alan Bolt into the pull rod until the nylon washer hits the
surface of the clamp.
