Safety Warnings and Precautions (continued) 8. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
Battery Installation The Metal Detector requires the use of six AA bateries. Do not mix old and new batteries and do not mix different types of batteries. 1. If the Metal Detector is on, turn the volume on the control housing to OFF (see Figure 4). 2. Press on the battery compartment cover and slide the cover Figure 4 off in the direction of the arrow (see Figure 5). 3.
Operation: This metal detector distinguishes between ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ferrous metals contain iron. Non-ferrous metals do not (examples: gold, silver, copper, platimum, aluminum, lead, and zinc). When the Metal Detector senses a metallic object, the meter reading changes and the detector might sound a tone. The reaction depends on what metal is detected.
For Indoor Test (continued) 5. If the detector detects the material, it sounds a tone and the pointer moves to the left (ferrous) or to the right (non-ferrous) while the detector determines the type of metal it is detecting (see Figure 13). 6. If the detector does not detect the material, the battery power may be low. Also verify that the search coil is properly connected. The detector may also need to be fine tuned (see directions below and on the next page. Figure 13 Outdoor Testing and Use: 1.
The DISCRIMINATION setting determines whether the detector will distinguish between different types of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. You can set DISCRIMINATION to the minimum level (fully counterclockwise) or to the maximum level (fully clockwise) or anywhere in between. As you set it to higher levels, the detector first does not detect small pieces of silver paper, then thick foil, and finally metal objects like pull tabs from soda cans (see Figure 15).
