cleaning 

Make sure the stringing machine is always turned off before cleaning 

it  or  servicing  one  of  its  components.  Unplug  the  power  cable  from 

the wall outlet. 
Never  wash  the  machine  using  water,  a  hose  or  high-pressure 
cleaning. 

BE CAREFUL: 

never use corrosive products to clean your stringing machine. 

¾

Clean the housing of the machine regularly with alcohol at 90° only. Never use water, 

detergents or acetone. 

¾

The elliptic turntable surface should be cleaned with alcohol every week to preserve the 

optimal sliding capacities of the clamp-holder. 

¾

Remove the clamps, clean the clamp-holder rods and the inside of the clamp barrel with 

a cloth soaked in alcohol. Replace the clamps on the clamp-holders and slide them. 

¾

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. 

¾

The Star 5 traction 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 traction head.
