When using on the drum mat When using on hard-surfaced flooring

Adjusting the anchor bolts

When using the kick pedal on a drum mat or similar surface, adjust the anchor bolts so their tips pro-trude from the plate. Then, secure the pedal in place; this will make it easier to use the kick pedal.

However, when used on hard-surfaced fl ooring, the anchor bolts may damage the fl oor. Adjust the anchor bolts correctly.

When using a twin pedal

Position the two beaters equally apartfrom the center of the pad as shown inthe fi gure at left. If one of the beater isfurther away from the center than the other, the sound from the further beaterwill be lower in volume, or will notsound as desired.

Using a twin pedal will result in lowersensitivity as compared to when asingle pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.

NOTE

The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.

Be sure to adjust the head tension of thePDX-8 before use.

Striking the head when the head tensionis loose may damage the sensor andhead.

Do not apply excessive force to the sen-sor and cushion located under the head.Doing so can interfere with accuratedetection, 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 thateventually wears out (depending on thenumber and strength of the rim shotsperformed), and will require replace-ment.

USING THE UNIT SAFELY

002b• Do not open or perform any internal

modifications on the unit. (The only exception would be where this manual provides specific instructions which should be followed in order to put in place user-installable options.)

...............................................................................003• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or

replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an autho-rized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information.”

...............................................................................004• Never use or store the unit in places

that are:• Subject to temperature extremes

(e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet floors); or are

• Humid; or are• Exposed to rain; or are• Dusty; or are• Subject to high levels of vibration.

...............................................................................005• This unit should be used only with a

stand that is recommended by Roland................................................................................

006• 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.

...............................................................................

011• Do not allow any objects (e.g.,

flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

...............................................................................013• In households with small children, an

adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

...............................................................................014• Do not drop the unit.

...............................................................................

104• Try to prevent cords and cables from

becoming entangled. Also, all cords and cables should be placed so they are out of the reach of children.

...............................................................................106• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy

objects on the unit.

...............................................................................118a• Should you remove remove nuts,

washers, screws, anchor bolts, etc., keep them in a safe place out of children’s reach, so there is no chance of them being swallowed accidentally.

...............................................................................

Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of injury or material damage should the unit be used improperly.

* Material damage refers to damage or other adverse effects caused with respect to the home and all its furnishings, as well to domestic animals or pets.

Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of death or severe injury should the unit be used improperly.

The ● symbol alerts the user to things that must be carried out. The specific thing that must be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. In the case of the symbol at left, it means that the power-cord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.

The symbol alerts the user to important instructions or warnings.The specific meaning of the symbol is determined by the design contained within the triangle. In the case of the symbol at left, it is used for general cautions, warnings, or alerts to danger.

The symbol alerts the user to items that must never be carried out (are forbidden). The specific thing that must not be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. In the case of the symbol at left, it means that the unit must never be disassembled.

Placement354a• 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.

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

objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.

Maintenance401a• 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 Precautions553• 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.
