3. From a spool of replacement string, cut o a piece 16` 5” (5004 mm) long for each pin having
its string replaced.
4. At the cut end of the old string and one end of the new string melt the ends of the strings. While
the string ends are still hot, press them together and hold until they cool and form a joint. Cover
the joint with electrical tape to increase its strength. Refer to Figure5-3.
5. At the String Spool, use the old string to carefully pull the new string through the machine
until the new string is at the string spool. Remove the tape at the joint between the old and the
new string. Cut o and discard the old string. Refer to Figure5-3.
6. Remove the old string from the spool. Tie a knot in the end of the new string. Slide the knot
through the key slot in the spool shaft and secure it. Refer toFigure5-3.
