and should be adjusted by turning the Adjustment Knob counter clockwise to open the gap

any string coating residue to grip properly. Knife sharpening stones are excellent for removing
build-up on the diamond coated surfaces and are available.
Adjusting the String Clamp Jaw
Spacing
The string clamps will need minor adjust-

Nut
In the event the Locking Lever rotation is
insufficient to ensure smooth operation of the
clamp base, very minor adjustments to the
Clamp Base Locking Nut can be made with
the supplied 17mm socket wrench. Tighten

running clearance as needed.
Quick Action Clamp Base Removal
Quick Action clamp bases can be removed
from the turntable for maintenance or clean-
ing by removing clamp stop located at the
end of the slot in the turntable. To remove the
clamp stop, remove the two screws holding
the clamp stop in place from the underside of
the turntable. Lift the clamp stop out of the
slot, slide the clamp base to the end of the
slot and lift it out. Replace the clamp base
and clamp stop in reverse order.
