V. USE OF CLAMP

The function of the clamp is to press the record close to the platter mat, thus minimising vibration between record and platter and decreasing warps of record itself.

1.position metal disc over spindle on top of mat.

2.place record on spindle.

3.gently screw clamp onto spindle while steadying platter and edge of record with fingers.

4.clamp should be tightened so that rim of record touches mat. Continue tightening until rim of record starts to rise, at which point release clamp slightly.

5.with very bent records pay particular attention to highest point of rim.

With a little practise use of clamp soon becomes second nature.

Note: If clamp is inadequately tightened, inner grooves are out of contact with mat and if overtightened outer grooves are visibly raised. Slight cracks on the middle of record (around the hole) might occur.
