Pathfinder Awl Operation - Gamma 8500 Els Owner's Manual

Pathfinder Awl Operation

The machine includes the new Pathfinder stringing awl
which creates a pathway between or around strings to
make inserting a string through tight grommets easier
and quicker.
Insert the awl through the grommet hole in the same
manner as for traditional awls. The Pathfinder awl must
be in the closed position before insertion.
Once the awl is inserted, pull the handle of the awl
outward while holding the tip section in place, leaving
the outer sheath in the grommet hole.
Insert the end of the string into the center of the sheath.
While holding pressure on the string, slowly pull the
sheath out of the grommet hole to leave the end of the
string exposed.
