To clamp a string, lift the clamp head and place the string between the jaws and de- press the string clamp lever to secure the string. - Page 10 STRINGING THE FRAME Pulling Tension To pull tension, wrap the free string clock- wise around the gripper drum and position the string between the gripper jaws.
