Klippermate stringing manual?

[aussie]

I live in Australia and have taken the plunge and ordered the Klippermate. Originally wanted the Gamma X-2 but the cost of shipping the X-2 to Australia was about USD$200 more than Klipper charged!!. As a matter of interest, in Australian dollars the Klippermate, 2 coils of Ultra Fibre, packets of grips, string savers and string tubing and shipping to Australia is costing me AUD$390. To buy a very similar drop weight machine in Australia plus the string and the extras is about AUD$750. Easy to see why I contacted Klipper in the US to get a machine.

Anyway, the machine is not here yet - should be here within 2 weeks or so (surface post is slow, but cheap). My question is does any one have a scanned Klippermate stringing manual (possibly in PDF or even JPG images) that I can view?? I want to read up as much about stringing on the Klippermate as I can before it arrives (not having stringed before).

I've contacted Klipper but they at this point don't have the manual available for downloading (unlike Silent Partner and Gamma).

Any help would be appreciated and then once I get the machine and start stringing I can hopefully post some meaningful comments!!!

sptennis has stringing videos + racket patterns.
The other site has stuff on knots and using a starting clamp.

I have a K-mate and I would imagine that the manuals from other firms might be of some general use, get you to know a bit more about things. But don't be frightened if you've never strung before. Here's what I did. . . Block a period of two or so hours of time in order to fully concentrate on what you're doing. Read through the instructions carefully. That's about it. The Klippermate instruction book is very good, very detailed, and most people are able to jump in and do a good job from the very first. Just expect to spend a bit more time getting familiarized, acclimated, with the tools, setup and basic ideas about stringing.
