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 washer 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.
