SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- load: microphone max. 0.5 kg
- be very careful when manoeuvering the fishpole, handling a max. 4.5 m long microphone
-
telescopic fishpole presents a significant danger to the handler, objects in the immediate area,
-
e.g. superstructure, lighting, electricity cables, etc.
- even when not in use, an extended microphone fishpole may also be a danger, e.g. you could
-
potentially trip over it. After use, it must be retracted immediately.
- secure the fishpole when contracted by tightening the locking collars to prevent unintentional
-
extension of the rod.
- if a cable has been fed through the fishpole, be careful that the cable is not kinked at the cable
-
opening. Cable is not included in the delivery. If you intend using an internal cable, we
-
recommend that you use a strain stopper or adhesive tape at the cable exit opening to relieve
-
strain and prevent the fishpole from unintentional retraction.
- the microphone user must know how to operate the microphone fishpole.
- the microphone may only be mounted once the fishpole has been extended and must be
-
removed before the fishpole is retracted.
