GENERAL INFORMATION
The Axis Pro has a 5-year limited warranty. The string
clamps have a 2-year limited warranty. The limited
warranty pertains to any parts deemed defective by the
manufacturer.
• The string clamps will have to be cleaned on a
regular basis. Take rubbing alcohol and clean inside the
jaws of the stringing clamp. This procedure will remove
oil and grit buildup.
• Use silicon spray to lubricate the rails that the swivel
bases run on. This will allow the swivel bases to slide
smoothly.
• Always keep the machine covered and in a dry area
when not in use.
For any questions regarding the use of your stringing
machine, please call Alpha Racquet Sports. Alpha
Racquet Sports does not provide stringing patterns. To
obtain patterns, contact the racquet’s manufacturer or
join the United States Racquets Stringers Association
at [phone].

MOUNTING THE FRAME
Loosen and remove the
fine adjustment knobs, flip
the head/throat frame
supports so that they
(supports) are each in an
upward position. Replace
the fine adjustment knobs.
To accommodate the
length of each racquet,
adjust the mounting arm
post by loosening the
mounting post adjustment
knob. Once the correct
length adjustment is reached, tighten the mounting
post adjustment knob. CAUTION: Make sure that
both mounting post adjustment knobs are tightened
and secured. Not doing this will allow the mounting
arms to creep forward during the stringing process
and cause damage to the racquet. NOTE: Both
mounting arms are identical, the racquet can be
mounted either way.

knobs. The fit should be
snug.
Turn the mounting arm
adjustment knobs so that
the angled frame supports

PREPARATION OF STRINGING
To clamp the string, squeeze
the toggle to close.
To release
the string,
pull the
toggle to
open.
To tighten, turn the dial
clockwise. To loosen, turn the dial
counter-clockwise. NOTE: Before
stringing a racquet, the tension
on the string clamp has to be
adjusted in accordance with the
type of string gauge being used.
If the string is of a thin gauge
(16L, 17, 18) then the string
clamp may need to be tightened.
If the string gauge is thick (15,
15L, 16) then the string clamp
may need to be loosened.
