  • Page 17 STEP 2 The machine is equipped with stickers indicating the correct scales to use for stringing low and high tensions. Scales labeled for badminton should be used with the small portion of the weight.
  • Page 18 STEP 3 To set the stringing tension, loosen the locking knob on the side |of the drop weight. Slide the weight in the appropriate direction until the face closest to the string gripper is indexed with the desired tension mark on the tension bar.

If the tension bar drops below horizontal, repeat the above action until the bar comes to rest parallel to the racquet. The set tension will be reached when the bar rests horizontal.
  • Page 24 CLAMPING THE STRING STEP 1 Clamp the tensioned string to the next adjacent string using the second string clamp. Release the tensioned string by raising the tension arm. Repeat the procedure for all of the remaining main strings and tie off following the racquet manufacturers recommendations.
