Stringing The Frame - Gamma Progression ES II Owner's Manual

STRINGING THE FRAME

Clamp Head Operation
"Quick Action"
Clamps are of a dual action design where as the
clamp head and clamp base operate independently of one
another.
To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and place the string between
the jaws and 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.
Clamp Base Operation
Rotate the Base Locking Lever clockwise to secure the clamp
base to the turntable.
Reverse the clamping procedure to unlock the string clamp. The
Locking Lever is spring loaded to assist the unlocking of the clamp
base.
The Locking Lever 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, generally requires the rotation permitted by the slot in
th clamp base. If the rotation is not sufficient to allow smooth
operation of, adjust the Clamp Base Locking Nut as outlined
below.
Note: If the string slips in the string clamp while tensioning, adjust
the gap between the clamp jaws as per the following instructions.
