B2. To pull tension on a string.
* The locking system:
The MS140L and N have an automatic locking system on the tension head;
- The tension head is locked in the starting position when no string is clamped in the tension head.
- On the MS140N the lock must be released by hand.
- On the MS140L the lock is released automatically when a string is clamped.
* Inserting the string in the string clamp.
- Lift the lever to open the string clamp.
- The string can be clamped at the front or at the back or both for vulnerable strings.
- Around the back of the system is the easiest and most certain way.
- Pull the string straight along the bottom side of the upper jaw and pull it into the slot between the
upper and the lower clamping surface.
- Release the lock (ML140N) by pushing down the release knob.
- Lower the lever to clamp the string.
Always take good care that the string lies against the cams of the upper jaw when the string is
clamped!
“TO DOUBLE CLAMP THE STRING” (fig. 10B)
To lower the pressure on the string it can also be clamped “double” using the front and the backside of
the string clamp:
- Wrap the string around the tension head.
- Lift the lever to open the string clamp.
- Pull the string straight towards the front.
- Move the string into the clamp at the front side.
- Lower the tension lever.
