TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

PROBLEM

String slips in clamps

String slips in gripper

String clamp base slips on turntable

Electrical system does not function

String tension too tight or too loose

CARE & CLEANING

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. Knife sharpening stones work well for cleaning the

diamond coated string clamping surfaces. Cleaning with a solvent such as isopropyl alcohol

and a mild abrasive tool such as a toothbrush also works well to remove oily or greasy build up.

SOLUTION

- Adjust gap between clamp jaws

- Clean clamp jaws

- Clean gripper jaws

- Make sure string is wrapped over top gripper

prior to inserting between gripper jaws

- Clean bottom of clamp & top of turntable with

alcohol

- Adjust clamp base locking nut

- Check power source

- Check power cord connections

- Check tension using a tension calibrator,

adjust machine calibration if necessary

POWER CONNECTION & CONTROLS

Instructions for Power Connection and Controls

CAUTION ! Before connecting to the power supply, check the voltage source that the

machine is being connected to. The acceptable range of input voltages for this ma-

chine is between 100 V and 240 V @ 50 to 60 Hz. If you have any questions regarding

the input voltage supply for your area, please ask your electric utility company.

To install the power cord, insert the female end of the power cord into the AC Adapter and

then insert the female end of the cord from the AC Adapter into the A/C Power Cord Socket

"C" located on the back panel of the tensioner. Plug the male end of the power cord into a

grounded power outlet. When using extension cords, use grounded heavy duty extension

cords rated for 15 AMP service.

To connect the foot pedal switch, insert the male pin at the end of the foot pedal switch cord

into the Foot Pedal Switch Receptacle "B" located on the back panel of the tensioner.

Switch on the machine by pressing the Lighted On-Off Power Switch on the back panel. At

start-up, the LED will display a countdown from "9.0" to "0.0" while the machine performs a

self diagnostics check at start-up.
