- Load bearing weight: Microphone
- The handling of a fishing pole microphone can bear significant risks for: a. operator, b. persons and
-
c. objects within reach (structures, lamps etc.). Careful handling is indispensable.
- We especially warn against the risks associated with lightening and electrical cables.
- Other fishing pole microphones that are nearby may also be a source of danger,
-
e.g. the risk of tripping if it is not properly stowed. After use, the tube combination should be retracted
-
and securely stored away immediately.
- To avoid the unintended extension or retraction of the tube, only one clamp element is always in the
-
open position and the tube can be extended or retracted.
- All clamping elements must be in a closed position during use, transport and storage.
- When using an internal cable, please ensure that the cable opening is not damaged. Cable is not included
-
with the delivery. Because only a segment of the users work with cables, the rubber cap does not come
-
with a hole in it, if needed cut a hole into the thin wall (ø 12 mm) of the cap.
-
NOTE: Please protect yourself from the risk of cuts.
- The operator must be able to use the fishing pole microphone in a responsible manner.
- Attach the microphone after the tube has been extended - and remove the microphone prior to retracting the tube.
- The carbon tubes are very strong and sturdy. However, improper use and excessive force can result in
-
damage to the tubes. Damaged tubes may not be used in any case, because:
-
a. possible sharp edges can result in painful injuries for the operators or third parties,
-
b. the perfect functioning of the pole is no longer guaranteed.
- The fishing pole microphone comes pre-assembled and can be used at once.
- The carbon material unifies strength and sturdiness at a minimal weight.
- The cable opening provides for the use of a cable that is threaded inside the tube.
- A basic rule states that when setting up the fishing pole microphone - attach the microphone as a last step -
-
and when putting it away removing the microphone is a first step.
- The 3/8" microphone threaded connector is protected by a rubber cap (see
X
).
-
We recommend that the cap is placed on the threaded connector after each use.
- Screw on the microphone i.e. the microphone holder (see
Y
) onto the 3/8" threaded bolt as far as it will go.
-
-
This is important for two reasons:
-
1. The microphone sits snuggly on the threaded bolt and does not twist out of position.
-
2. The threaded bolt is protected against bending forces and damage caused by dirt and abrasion.
- The variable clamp lever can be adjusted individually (see
Z
).
