MOUNTING TOOLS TO THE TRIPOD
See Figures 10 - 12, page 6.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of a tipping hazard, always
ensure the tripod is stable before and after
mounting tools or leaving the tripod unattended. To
stabilize the tripod, reposition the arms, adjust the
leveling brace, and/or hang weights on the ballast
hooks. Do not use the tripod if it is not stable.
WARNING:
Do not mount tools that exceed the maximum
weight capacity of the tripod or cause the tripod
to tip excessively. Just because the tool can be
attached to your tripod, it does not assure safe
operation.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other part could create a hazard
or cause product damage.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and can be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
ADJUSTING THE LOCK CLAMPS
See Figure 13, page 6
The lock clamps may become loose and move over time. If
necesary, close and reposition the clamp then use a 3 mm
hex key (not included) to tighten the cam and secure the
clamp in place. Open and close the clamp to ensure it is
functioning properly.
Choose the adjustable arm you want to mount your tool
to.
Push mounting screw knob up until the screw can be
seen above the arm.
Locate the tripod mounting hole on the tool.
NOTE: Only tools with a 1/4-20 in. mounting hole can be
secured to the tripod.
Place the tool on the tripod mounting screw. Make sure
the screw properly engages the mounting hole, on the
bottom of the stand.
Hold the tool in place and rotate the knob clockwise to
secure.
NOTE: There is a fourth mounting screw at the base of
the tripod head. To mount tools to this screw, bring the
adjustable arms together and rotate the head down. Lock
the arms and the head in place, and then place the tool on
the mounting screw. Rotate the tool clockwise to secure.
