old fuse from the holder and replace it with the supplied spare. Replace the fuse holder into
the machine and check for proper operation.
With time and use, the clamping surfaces of your machine may become oily or dirty and result
in string or clamp slippage while stringing. Periodic cleaning of the String Clamps, String
Clamp Base, and String Gripper is recommended using a cleaning solvent such as isoproyl
alcohol and a mild abrasive tool such as a toothbrush.
The electronics of the machine are designed to provide self diagnostic trouble shooting
