Stringing The Frame - Gamma Progression Els Owner's Manual

increased friction between the clamps and the string to allow for reduced clamping pressure
while securing and holding the string under tension.

STRINGING THE FRAME

String Clamp Operation
The string c
lamps are a dual action design
where the string clamp and clamp base
operate independently of one another.
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. The clamping pressure applied to the
string should be adjusted to provide suffi-
cient pressure to secure the string when
subjected to the desired pulling tension. The
diamond coated gripper plates provide for
Clamp Base Operation
To lock the string clamp base to the turn-
table, rotate the clamp base locking lever
clockwise. To release the string clamp base
from the turntable, rotate the clamp base
locking lever counter-clockwise.
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 the clamp base.
Getting Started
To begin stringing the main strings, thread
the two ends of the string through the two
center holes at the appropriate end of the
frame and continue through the opposite
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.
