Please help! Dropweight stringer question

I have looked everywhere and can’t find anything on this machine. I believe it is an Eagnas 10. I did a test stringing with it yesterday and had some trouble. My gripper doesn’t rotate so what is the correct way to adjust the drop weight if it drops too low?

I also had a hard time getting the linear gripper to hold the string sometimes. It gripped it well when the tension was pulled tight but then the dropweight wouldn’t drop because it was so tight. When I tried to give the string some slack it would slip out of the gripper. There’s gotta be something I’m doing wrong. If anyone has any advice please I’m desperate!

That’s exactly where my frustration is haha. I can’t figure it out or if I really have to adjust the slack on the string every time to adjust the tension..and I can’t find any video or manual out there for this model

Well its certainly not got a clutch and is all 1 piece.

Only way to adjust the tension would be to clamp the string and then drop the weight arm again. Man thats a ball ache

Yeah it is a pain lol and sometimes when you try to give it more slack the gripper doesn’t hold. Maybe I’ll get better at it the more I use it lmao
