MAINTENANCE and ADJUSTMENTS
Switching the Buzzer Off and On
The stringing machine is equipped with a buzzer function that sounds when any key or button
is pressed; it also sounds an intermittent warning when the tensioner has pulled a string to the
end of its travel and is not yet at tension, or if there is an internal error in the machine. The
buzzer can, however, be disabled for normal key / button presses. To toggle between buzzer
enabled / buzzer disabled modes:
Turn the machine on; while the display is counting down from 9 to 0, press the
clear (C) and enter (ENT) keys together. The machine will switch modes, and
the changes will remain in effect until the user toggles modes again.
NOTE: In disabled mode, the buzzer will still sound if the tensioner has pulled a string to the
end of its travel and is not yet at tension, or if there is an internal error in the machine. This
is meant to alert the user of a problem, and should never be disabled.
adjusted by turning the Adjustment Knob counter clockwise to open the gap between the jaws.
The clamp jaws should be cleaned periodically to be free from dirt, oil, and any string coating
for them to grip properly. Knife sharpening stones are excellent for removing build-up on the
diamond coated surfaces and are available.
Note: The string clamps supplied with your stringing machine can accomodate tight string
patterns such as badminton. Depending on the string pattern, the clamp may spread the strings
slightly which will not compromise the quality of the string job. String clamps designed
specifically for badminton racquets are available.
Adjusting the String Clamp Jaw Spacing
The string clamps will need minor adjustments according
to what string type, construction, and gauge you are
using.
To adjust the gap (clamping pressure) between the clamp
jaws, insert the string through the racquet as if you were
beginning the main strings. Clamp the strings and pull
tension. If the string slips through the jaws of the clamp,
tighten the clamp by compressing the clamp jaws together
by hand while turning the Adjustment Knob, in the clock-
