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
difficult to balance and manoeuvre
while detecting.
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).
1 Loosen the bolt that connects the Lower
2 While holding the detector as if detecting,
3 Tighten the bolt, but do not over-tighten it.

Adjusting the Angle of the Coil:
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.
lightly press the Coil to the ground until it
sits flat/parallel with the ground. The Coil
should remain parallel when lifting to the
sweep height, approximately 25mm (1")
above the ground.
