Roland TD-8KV owner manual

• 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.

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

• 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.

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

• Never climb on top of, nor place heavy objects on the unit.

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

• 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.
