With time and use, the clamping surfaces of your machine may become oily or dirty and result
in string or clamp slippage while stringing. Periodic cleaning of the String Clamps, String Clamp
Base and String Gripper is recommended. The supplied Cleaning Stone or a knife sharpening
stone works well for cleaning the diamond coated string clamping surfaces. Cleaning with a
solvent such as isopropyl alcohol and a mild abrasive tool such as a toothbrush also works
well to remove oily or greasy build up.
