Do not drop the unit!
................................................................................................
To avoid personal injury and/or damage to
the unit, do not touch anything inside the
frame of the PD-80 and PD-80R.
................................................................................................
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.
................................................................................................
118
Should you remove screws, nuts, bolts,
springs, washers, etc., make sure to put them
in a safe place out of children's reach, so there
is no chance of them being swallowed
accidentally.
................................................................................................
Assemble the drum stand and TD-8KV
carefully, to avoid pinching your fingers.
................................................................................................
Make sure to firmly tighten all clamps and
bolts after you have assembled the stand and
attached a pad or unit to it. You should
probably also try to make a habit of checking
and retightening them if necessary before
every performance. You risk injury if you
have loose screws or clamps, since a pad or
unit can fall unexpectedly.
................................................................................................
Be sure to tighten the head tension before
using the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80. Striking
the head when the head tension is loose may
damage the sensor and head.
................................................................................................
Do not apply excessive force to the sensor
(and on the KD-80, the cushion) located
below the center of the head of the KD-80,
PD-80R, and PD-80. Doing so can interfere
with accurate detection, and may damage it.
................................................................................................
Due to the nature of the materials used in the
sensor of the KD-80, PD-80R, and PD-80,
changes in room temperature may affect the
sensitivity of the sensor.
................................................................................................
Please be aware that by using a felt beater for
the KD-80, you risk causing damage to the
head as a result of the metal portions of the
beater that can become exposed when the felt
wears thin. For the kick pedal, we
recommend that you use only the supplied
beater, or a commercially available plastic
beater.
................................................................................................
To keep the KD-80 and FD-6 from slipping or
moving during play, the tips of the legs
installed on the stand and the tips of the
anchor bolts are pointed. Handle with care to
avoid injury.
................................................................................................
Brushes can be used to play the PD-80R and
PD-80. When using brushes, be sure to use
nylon brushes. Using metal brushes will not
only scratch the head, but can also be
hazardous, since the tip of the brush may
catch in the mesh of the net.
................................................................................................
The rubber portion of the PD-80R’s hoop is
one component that eventually wears out
(the more so if numerous rim shots are
performed), and will require replacement.
Errors may occur when attempting rim shots
once the rubber portion has worn out. If this
occurs, replace the hoop rubber. For more on
replacing the hoop rubber, consult with your
retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or
an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on
the “Information” page.
