SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:

-

 Please take care about your finger ps. String ends are really sharp.

- A so  cover between strings and guitar body protects the varnish while maintenance.

- A pair of nippers belong to each guitar case. Do not use scissors for cu ng strings. 

- Please protect your eyes with safety glasses, especially while changing strings.   

- Do not use the guitar machine heads once the locking screws of the locking nut are 

ghtened. Otherwise the strings may snap suddenly.

- Please  ghten all locking screws so ly for a long use. A er first resistance while 
screwing a „10 minutes turn“ clockwise is normally enough.

- If woodwork is required to install the hardware, we assume that the work has been 
carried out professionally and that there is knowledge of the tools required.  

- If you suffer from a nickel allergy, please ask us before purchasing an item how we can 
help you in this regard.

- Spare Parts: All parts of the ABM 5400 tremolo are exchangable, like the knife edge or 
the tremolo arm socket. Please ask us for the course of ac on before you remove parts. 
Maybe special tools are required (knife edge).   

  

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important opera on and 
    maintenance instruc ons in the accompanying literature. Please read the 
       manual and the safety instruc ons before moun ng and opera ng the 
         tremolo!       

It is always a pleasure to install new hardware. Please take a li le  me for 
  the safety instruc ons and the ABM 5400 Guide before you start with the 
    installa on. If you do not have the necessary assembly and woodwork 
      skills, please hire an experienced guitar technician or luthier to do the job.
