• When using the unit with a stand
recommended by Roland, the stand
must be carefully placed so it is level
and sure to remain stable. If not using a
stand, you still need to make sure that
any location you choose for placing the
unit provides a level surface that will
properly support the unit, and keep it
from wobbling.

NOTE
*
The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp.
Handle with care.
*
When using on hard-surfaced fl ooring, the
anchor bolts may damage the fl oor. Do
not attach the anchor bolts.
*
To adjust the travel of the pedal, loosen
the arm bolt.
NOTE
*
Be sure to adjust the head tension of the
PDX-8 before use.
*
Striking the head when the head tension
is loose may damage the sensor and
head.
*
Do not apply excessive force to the sen-
sor and cushion located under the head.
Doing so can interfere with accurate
detection, and may damage it.
*
Due to the nature of the materials used
in the sensor of the PDX-8, changes
in room temperature may aff ect the
sensitivity of the sensor.
*
The rim rubber is one component that
eventually wears out (depending on the
number and strength of the rim shots
performed), and will require replace-
ment. Rim shots may not be performed
correctly when the rim rubber is worn
out. If this occurs, replace the rim rubber.
Consult Roland Service for more on
replacing the rim rubber.
IMPORTANT NOTES

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an
enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or
discolor the unit.

• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such

401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with
water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. After-
wards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration
and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions
553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit's buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when
using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This
way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable's internal elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit's volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer
to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it
is late at night).
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when it's played. However,
since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected,
take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing
at night and when using headphones.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting
to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to
hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a preservative to maintain its performance.
With the passage of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how
the pads were struck during product testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of
the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect the Pad's function.
962a
• In the interest of product improvement, the specifications and/or appearance of this unit are subject to
change without prior notice.
