TENSIONING
To insert the string in the split rotary string
gripper, pass over the top half of the gripper,
wrap the string clockwise around the gripper
drum and position the string between the
gripper jaws as shown in the illustration.
Excessive slack in the string should be
removed before applying tension.
To set the desired tension, rotate the tension
adjustment knob clockwise to increase the displayed
tension or counter-clockwise to decrease the
displayed tension until the desired tension is shown
up on screen.
To tension the string, press the main green tension button
or “START” key on the keypad. As the rotary string
gripper turns and applies tension to the string, the upper
jaw is forced down to clamp the string between the jaws.
To release the tensioned string after clamping, press the main green tension button
again or “REVERSE” key on the keypad.
NOTE :
If the rotary string gripper does not release the string by
pressing the main green tension button, depress the
“REVERSE” key on the keypad to release the string.
