Adjusting the Length of the Shafts
A correct shaft length will allow you to
swing the coil over the ground without
uncomfortably stretching or stooping.
If the coil is too far from your body it will be
dicult to balance and manoeuvre
while detecting.
Shaft is the
correct length
Shaft is
too short
If the coil is too close to your body it may
detect your digging tools or any other
metal which you are carrying, causing
confusing sounds.
Adjust the lower shaft to the correct length,
securing the camlock to hold it in place.
A longer lower shaft is available for
tall people (p. 39).
Adjusting the Angle of the Coil:
1 Loosen the bolt that connects the Lower
Shaft to the Coil. It should be loose
enough to allow the Coil to be moved for
adjustment, but tight enough that the Coil
can hold its position.
2 While holding the detector as if detecting,
lightly press the Coil to the ground until it
sits at/parallel with the ground. The Coil
should remain parallel when lifting to the
sweep height, approximately 25mm (1”)
above the ground.
3 Tighten the bolt, but do not over-tighten it.
