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 residue

to grip properly. Knife sharpening stones are excellent for removing build-up on the diamond

insufﬁ cient to ensure smooth operation of the
