Protect your investment
The owner’s manual for my stringing machine recommends using a surge protector to help prevent electrical line problems from causing expensive damage to the machine electronics. However, rather than using just a surge protector, I purchased a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). A UPS protects your machine from power surges and spikes like a surge suppressor, and it also keeps you up and running during brownouts and outages. The price for providing my machine with a clean, constant flow of power was only $29.99 at Office Depot.

Editor’s note: Prices for UPS protectors go up depending on how much battery life you need. If your power goes out a lot, and you need to operate your stringing machine during those times, a higher-capacity model might be worth the additional expense.
