String Clamp Adjustment - Gamma 5003 Owner's Manual

STRING CLAMP ADJUSTMENT

Adjustment
Knob
Note: The string clamps supplied with your Gamma stringing machine can accomodate tight string patterns such as
badminton. Depending on the string pattern, the clamp may spread the strings slightly which will not compromise the
quality of the string job.
STRINGING THE FRAME

Weaving the Cross Strings
Weave the cross strings over and under the main strings
being careful to alternate the weave direction of each
consecutive cross string so as to be opposite of the
previously installed cross string.
Once the final cross string is tensioned and clamped, tie
off at the appropriate hole specified by the racquet
manufacturer.
Adjusting the Clamp Jaws
The GAMMA "Quick Action" Clamps will need minor
adjustments according to what string type, construction,
and gauge you are using.
To adjust the gap (clamping pressure) between the
clamp jaws, insert the string through the racquet as if you
were beginning the main strings. Clamp the strings and
pull tension. If the string slips through the jaws of the
clamp, tighten the clamp by compressing the clamp
jaws together by hand while turning the Adjustment
Knob, in the clockwise direction. If the clamp leaves
impressions or damages the string, it may be exces-
sively tight and should be adjusted by turning the hex
screw counter clockwise to open the gap between the
jaws. The clamp jaws should be cleaned periodically to
be free from dirt, oil, and any string coating for them to
grip properly.
Adjusting the Clamp Base Locking Nut
In the event the Locking Lever rotation is innsufficient to
ensure smooth operation of the clamp base, very minor
adjustments to the Clamp Base Locking Nut can be
made with the supplied 17mm wrench. Tighten or loosen
the locking nut in very small increments to provide more
clamping pressure or running clearance as needed.
