Fisher M-96 SETTING UP

1. Start by gripping the foam hand grip and letting

your arm hang comfortably by your side.

2. The length of the handle shaft and the angle of the

search coil are both adjustable. Adjust the search coil

angle so that it is parallel to the ground.

3. Loosen the lock nut found midway down the shaft,

and extend the lower shaft slightly. If the serial number

is 62231 or later, there is a stem lock button on the

lower shaft that fits at 2 inch intervals in the backside

of the upper handle to make it a double locking stem.

Be sure that the button engages in the hole closest for

your best operating length. After adjusting the length

of the shaft, tighten the lock nut with your hand. (Refer

to the photo on page 4.) Never use pliers or other

mechanical force to tighten this nut.

4. Again, completely grasp the foam handle and let

your arm hang at your side with the search coil parallel

to the ground. Bring your arm forward and try a few

side-to-side motions with the detector. The search coil

should be about 1 inch above and parallel to the

ground without strain to the operator. If the position

feels strained to you, your hand holding the detector

is too far in front of you or the shaft length adjustment

is too short. Readjust the shaft length as necessary.

SETTING UP

Your search position should be

comfortable and relaxed, with the

detector grasped loosely in your

hand.
