    Hi everyone,

    there is a 5lbs difference between my machine and calibrator
    and i did what manual says:
    Beside the display are two little holes, take a small screwdriver, put it into
    the upper hole and turn inside a little to get the same tension at the display​
    and the tension calibrator
    after i did it... nothing happened :confused:
    all who owns this machine plsss help me!!!:)

    how did you calibrate it? is it just a digital fishing scale? those tend to be pretty accurate.

    Best use a digital fishing scale for calibrating.

    The eagnas/analogue thension calibrators are not very accurate. When I used one of thos sometime ago, I found the tension to be off by at least 3lbs, which is a lot for badminton!
