TENSIONER CONTROLS

Setting Tension

The Progression 600ES stringing machine utilizes a rotary adjusting knob along with a digital
L.E.D. display to indicate the set tension. To set the tension, rotate the adjustment knob
clockwise to decrease the displayed  tension, counter-clockwise to increase the displayed
tension, until the desired tension is displayed on the digital display. Aramid fiber and Metallic
strings will generally string up tighter on the Progression Es machine compared to synthetic
or natural gut strings. Therefore, when stringing with Aramid (Kevlar, Technora) hybrid strings
or metallic strings, we recommend setting tension 4-5 lbs. lower than you would normally use
for synthetic or natural gut strings.
