    We advice to put some grease on the shaft every now and then for minimum wear. E. Overhaul of a Stringway clamp. After extensive use the clamps of the Stringway machines can be overhauled quite easily. Figure 1 shows the parts of the clamp.
  • Page 12 DISASSEMBL For the disassembly and assembly it is easy to use a vise or a special piece of wood with a slot in it to hold the clamp as shown in figure 2. To disassemble the clamp unscrew the Alan bolt and take of the closing mechanism. GRINDING THE CLAMP PARTS.
