Positioning the racket
The SENSOR stringing machine is designed to take all types of rackets, even oversized ones.
BE CAREFUL: the racket locking system is designed to hold it in position and to prevent
distortion when stringing. Any over-tightening of the arms and billiards may
distort the racket and change the tension after stringing.
Position the racket according to the symbols
marked on the post.
Hold the racket by its handle with one hand,
and with the other turn the billiard control
knob (on the side of the racket throat) until
you bring the V-shaped pad of the billiard
into contact, between 2 holes and over the
positioning symbol marked inside the racket.
Turn the control knobs of the arms to bring
the pads into contact with the outside of the
racket. Make sure the racket is more or less
centred between the arm pads, then tighten
the arms slightly.
Turn the billiard control knob (on the side of the racket head) until you bring the
V-shaped pad of the billiard into contact, between 2 holes and in line with the first
billiard. Tighten the billiard slightly.

Adjusting the clamp
The gap between the jaws should be adapted to the gauge of the string that is used. This
can be adjusted by turning the wheel as follows:
- thread a string between the jaws of the
clamp,
- activate the locking lever to tighten the
string between the jaws. If any resistance
stops it from locking, that means the gap is
not wide enough. Extend it by loosening
the wheel,
- pull on the string by hand and it should not
slide between the jaws. If this is not the
case, reduce the gap by tightening the
wheel.
BE CAREFUL: adjust the clamp gap to secure the string properly without crushing it, as
this would cause distortion and cracking.
