Open-back Tuners

Sealed Die-Cast Tuners
Fender uses only the finest tuning machines. Our die-cast machines
(Illustration 1), are pre-lubricated and sealed, and as such, do not
require periodic oiling for smooth operation. A small tension adjust-
ment screw is located at the end of each die-cast tuner’s button that
also holds the button in place. If the tension is too loose, the machine
may slip and go out of tune easily. If it is too tight, the button may
become very difficult to turn. Make sure that the adjustment is firm,
but not too tight.
Open-back tuners (Illustration 2), do not have a tension adjustment
screw, and will benefit over time with a small drop of lightweight machine
oil on each gear, to ensure smooth positive action.
3-In-Line tuners (Illustration 3), are typically used on classical/nylon
string guitars, and will also benefit from a small drop of lightweight
machine oil from time to time.
