INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR THE STRINGING MACHINE MS140NS and MS140LS. CONTENTS: A. TO PREPARE THE MACHINE FOR USE. A1. Fastening the cross legs A2. Clamping the machine to the table. A3 Fastening the lever of the drop weight system. A4. Mounting the turntable over the shaft.
The machine can only be used when it is clamped to the table. Slide the table clamp through the frame and position the machine so far from the edge of the table that the clamping screw is under the centre of the frame.
A5. Calibrating the tension system. The tension system can be calibrated with the calibrator which is supplied with the machine. The tension will not vary more than a few percent over the hole stroke. To get the most accurate results calibrate the system in the middle of the stroke between the forward position and the moment that the “end of stroke signal”...
A6. End of stroke indication. At the end of the stroke the tension drops. When the “end of stroke indicator” moves out, tensionthe string again: Lift the lever to open the jaws, pull the string tight and lower the lever again. IMPORTANT: A string needs less stretch when it is pulled for the second time because the remaining elongation from the first pull is already developed.
B2. To pull tension on a string. * The locking system: The MS140L and N have an automatic locking system on the tension head; - The tension head is locked in the starting position when no string is clamped in the tension head. - The lock must be released by hand.

end of the table and move the throat support up and down to adjust it to the size of the racquet. Mounting a tennis racquet goes as follows, the numbers in figure 11 show the sequence of the actions. 1) Move the central head support inwards. 2) Move the throat support inwards so that the racquet fits over the supports.
B5. Using the table lock. The MS140L has a table lock which locks the turntable in 6 positions. When the lever is in the upper position the table will lock as soon as the locking pin meets a hole in the turntable. B6.
When the machine is out of use or should be transported the tension head should be in the end position against the stop: - Lift the lever to open the string clamp. - Push the knob of the locking bar down. - Lower the lever until the tension head hits the end stop inside the machine.
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.

THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CLAMP. - Put the spring in the hole between the front and the back of the clamp. - Clamp both castings on top of each other in the clamping device. - Put the Alan bolt in from the back.
