MACHINE FUNCTIONS Setting Tension It is possible to set tension values so the main string and cross strings are pulled at the same tension or at different tensions. Pressing the MAIN/CROSS String button will toggle between the Main String and Cross String Settings and the tension value for the highlighted icon will be the large tension numbers on the display. - Page 13 MACHINE FUNCTIONS Pre-stretch Function The Pre-stretch function is used to pre- stretch strings on each pull by increasing the applied tension by a certain percentage over the tension setting before releasing the string and re-pulling to the desired tension. This function helps to reduce the amount of tension loss in the strings over time.
