Hello,
My brother bought a stringing machine (Challenger II), which works very well but when we string: we put the string in the "self-locking jaws," we apply the tension, we hold the tension with the clamps, and once the tension is applied, we should normally be able to remove the string from these self-locking jaws.
But I have a big problem: the string is very tight and I can't get it out of these jaws. The only solution I found is to force the string out, but it really hurts my hands.
==> Normally we buy stringing machines, not ones that ruin our hands!!!
So please help me

Hello,
it's simple, the jaw you describe is a sliding mechanism on ball bearings with springs.
It seems to be sticking; you can use penetrating oil and operate it for a while.
If everything is in good condition, it should return and slide smoothly.
We can disassemble it, but it's best to be careful and patient when putting the balls back in.
Use vaseline oil, definitely not vegetable oil (like for cooking) as it solidifies in the cold.
I had a challenger like yours, and I had to unstick the pull-string clamp several times.
Well-oiled, it slides on its own, and you can pull your string effortlessly.
Happy fixing!

Hi,
yes, that's normal, first you tighten your string and then you clamp it with the pin
since the pin holds the string, the tension will remain, you can then remove your lever, it will only loosen the string outside the frame.
If you want to string it, I advise you to go to a pro and ask him to teach you.
there you go
see you later
