STRINGING THE FRAME
Fixed Clamp Operation
The fixed clamps for the GAMMA 600FC are of a dual
action design. The string clamp and the clamp base
operate independently of one another.
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and place the string
between the jaws. Depress the clamp head lever to
secure the string. The clamping pressure applied to the
string should be adjusted to provide sufficient pressure
to secure the string when subjected to the desired pulling
tension. The diamond coated gripper plates provide for
increased friction between the clamps and the string to
allow for reduced clamping pressure while securing and
holding the string under tension.
Rotate the winged lock knob clockwise to secure the
clamp base to the turntable.
Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock the string
clamp.
The winged lock knob should be tightened enough to
prevent clamp base slippage on the turntable, when the
desired tension is placed on the string. To go from the
loose position to the clamped position and back, gener-
ally requires about 1/2 to 3/4 quarters of a turn. Although
when stringing at extremely high tensions, additional
tightness may be required.
Note: If the string slips in the string clamp while
tensioning, adjust the gap between the clamp jaws
as per the instructions on page 12.
Clamping the First Main String
To begin stringing the main strings, thread the two ends
of the string through the two center holes at the appro-
priate end of the frame and continue through the oppo-
site center holes. Thread one end of the string through
the adjacent grommet hole and pull excess by hand.
Secure one of the strings using a string clamp.
