You'll find a video of someone stringing a racquet (although not with your machine) at www.sptennis.com/stringer.asp#eStringer. (http://www.sptennis.com/stringer.asp#eStringer.)

I've just started stringing (two racquets with an Eagnas drop weight machine). My main tip is string one racquet that you don't care about first and make all your mistakes on that.

The main things I have learned are:
1. Make sure you get the first strings in straight - some racquets mark the centre at the top of the frame which I helps. I strung the entire racquet one hole off first time - you only really realise towards the end!

2. Tension the first two mains together - this stops you having to battle the untensioned string against the weight of the clamp.

3. Spend time getting used to adjusting the clapms - if they leave an indentation in the string you've got them too tight - too loose and the string will fly out.

Other than that, I learned everything on the first badly strung racquet!

Good luck

Get yourself some cheap string to practice with as well...
