Step 6. The string may now be brought up to the correct reference pitch by adjusting the tuning adjustment screw clockwise. (It should be noted that in the event you have pulled the string ’Äî with the string puller ’Äî higher than the standard reference pitch, the string tension may be relaxed a little by loosening the string locking screw very slowly. As string tension relaxes, tighten the locking screw to secure the string). Continue tuning with tuning adjustment screw.
With the string at the proper tension (note), exercise the appropriate pedal/lever a few times to ensure string does not slip or detune.
Remove excess string at the locking screw head with a pair of side cutters.
Manufacturer’Äôs Comments: It may take a few times for you to become proficient with this procedure, but the many advantages offered by the Sierra Gearless tuner is well worth the effort. After a very few string changes, yo will be able to change a string much faster than with the Grover type geared tuners.
