SETTING UP
Your 1266-X is just about ready to use. The only adjustment
required is the angle of the search coil and the length of the
stem. Take a look at Figure 1 and familiarize yourself with the
parts of the 1266-X before proceeding.
1. Unpack it carefully. You may want to save the
carton and inserts for future storage or shipment.
2. Depress the spring lock on the lower stem and
slip the lower stem into the upper stem. Connect
the search coil cable to the control housing.
3. The stem length is adjusted by loosening the
lock nut and allowing the spring lock to snap into
one of the holes in the upper stem.
4. The search coil angle is adjusted by loosening
the nylon wing nut on top of the search coil.
5. Adjust the stem length and the coil angle so
the search coil rests flat on the ground about 6
inches in front of, and slightly to the right of your
right foot (to the left of your left foot for left
handers). Your arm should be straight and
relaxed, the grip held loosely.
