INTRODUCTION
You have recently purchased a BABOLAT SENSOR stringing machine - thank you for making
the right choice! This manual has been written specially to help you get used to the way the
machine works and to make sure that it meets your expectations. Please READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY to give yourself a good idea of the precautions to be taken
when you use your new machine and to look after it in the best possible way.
Keep this manual to hand so that you can consult it at any time, and make sure that it
stays with the machine if ever lent or sold.
A VHS video cassette comes with your SENSOR stringing machine. We suggest you to watch
it in addition to reading this manual, so that you will have a good understanding of the main
operations for setting up and using the machine, as well as the actions required for
stringing.
This machine is intended for professional use and is designed for the stringing of all types of
rackets - tennis, badminton, squash, etc. - using strings made of synthetic materials or
natural gut. It must be used by operators who are qualified and well-versed in the operating
rules and safety instructions set out in this manual.
Your SENSOR stringing machine is "CE" certified and is in conformity with machine directive
89/392/EC. We will not assume liability if any alterations are made to the machine without
our authorisation, thus undermining the safety conditions and invalidating any warranty
clauses.
We also wish to draw your attention to the fact that the use of accessories or products other
than those recommended by BABOLAT may present risks for which we will not be liable.
As we want you to make the most of the latest technology and new equipment, as well as to
benefit from our experience, our machines may undergo technical or design changes. As a
result, some of the features and information in this manual may be changed without prior
notice and without any obligation to up-date it.
Should you encounter any problems or have any questions about your SENSOR stringing
machine, please do not hesitate to contact your nearest BABOLAT After-Sales Service
Centre.

Page 7: Rack"Concept
The rack is the heart of your stringing machine. If it breaks down, you just need to take it out and replace it with the one you will receive from your BABOLAT After-Sales Service Centre (for rack removal, see the paragraph "Changing voltage or fuses"). -
Page 8: Characteristics
- 1 "H" adapter for racket head, - 4 interlocking V-shaped caps. ♦ Tools (sold separately) To make your work easier, BABOLAT has designed a whole range of specific tools for stringing. They are presented in a case and available under the code number 02054. -
Page 9: Installation
INSTALLATION ♦ Positioning Place the machine on a flat surface near an electricity supply and in a space that is sufficiently open to give the operator room to move, allowing for a minimum safety area of 800 mm around the machine. The following conditions should be respected for the environment of the workstation: - temperature: 10 to 35 °C, - relative humidity: 30 to 70 %,... -
Page 10: Assembling
♦ Assembling BE CAREFUL: because of the weight of the machine and its support post, any operations of installation, assembly and adjustment must strictly be carried out by 2 people. Place the support post in the required position (1). Hold the stringing machine perpendicular to the fixing plate (2), making sure that the interlocking elements are aligned. -
Page 11: Connecting To Power Supply
♦ Connecting to power supply Make sure you always connect the machine up to an earthed mains socket. Extension cables should be carefully chosen, assembled and maintained. Your safety will obviously be protected if the insulation is in good condition. Cables should be inspected on a regular basis and replaced, rather than repaired, if found to be faulty. - Page 12 Then change the two fuses depending on the new voltage. 100 V and 120 V fuses = 1.25 A T 220 V and 240 V fuses = 0.63 A T In case of doubt, call the BABOLAT After-Sales Service Centre. Changing fuses Type of fuse: HPC 5x20 mm ceramic BE CAREFUL: in the event of a problem, you should change both fuses at the same time.

Page 23: Positioning The Racket
♦ Positioning the racket The SENSOR stringing machine is designed to take all types of rackets, even oversized ones. BE CAREFUL: the racket locking system is designed to hold it in position and to prevent distortion when stringing. Any over-tightening of the arms and billiards may distort the racket and change the tension after stringing. -
Page 24: String Tensioning
♦ String tensioning Once the racket has been properly installed and the clamp(s) adjusted, refer to the stringing recommendations of the racket manufacturer and enter the tension value of the string (TENSION) on the control panel. To tension the string, thread it through the pulling unit. -
Page 25: Clamp-Holding System
Clamp-holding system With the clamp-holder you can easily position the 3-tooth clamp at any point on the racket by sliding it over the circular turntable. During the stringing process, in order to keep the string pulled, you should: - slide the clamp-holder over the turntable to position it under the string that you wish to keep pulled, - tighten the string using the locking lever of... -
