MAINTENANCE
Make sure the stringing machine is always turned off before cleaning
it or servicing one of its components. Unplug the power cable from
the mains socket.
Never wash the machine using water, a hose or high-pressure
cleaning.
BE CAREFUL: never use corrosive products to clean your stringing machine.
Clean the housing of the machine regularly with alcohol at 90° only. Never use water,
detergents or acetone.
The Dual circular turntable surface should be cleaned with alcohol every week to avoid
any foreign matter entering between the iron sheets. Make sure the sheets are not
distorted when cleaning underneath.
Remove the clamps, clean the clamp-holder rods and the inside of the clamp barrel with
a cloth soaked in alcohol, then lubricate them lightly with oil (sewing-machine type). Be
careful not to loose the spring bolt housed in the clamp-holder barrel. Replace the
clamps on the clamp-holders and slide them about to spread the oil.
Clean the inside of the clamp teeth (depending on use, every day or once a week) with
a metallic brush, in order to avoid any clogging of the tungsten coating.
The Sensor pulling head does not require any particular servicing, apart from cleaning
once a year by passing a cloth soaked in alcohol between the articulated jaws of the
pulling unit.
Never oil the ball bearings on the pulling head.
