SETTING UP
Your new 1270 comes ready to assemble, set and use, but rst
review the steps below before proceeding.
STEP 1.
Unpack your 1270 carefully, and save the carton. Review the various
part names noted in gure #2.
STEP 2.
The coil is attached to the lower stem. Depress the spring lock button
on the lower stem, and slip it into the center handle section until it snaps
into a hole.
STEP 3.
Depress the spring lock button on the upper handle and insert it into the op-
posite end of the center handle section and hand tighten the lock nut.
STEP 4.
The search coil angle and stem length may now be adjusted. The stem
length can be adjusted by loosening the lower lock nut and allowing the
spring lock to snap into the desired hole in the middle handle section.

Your 1270 doesn’t require a lot of care, nor does it require regular
“maintenance”. However, you should do a few things to keep
your 1270 in peak operating condition.
1. Remove the batteries if you’re not going to be using your detector for
a while. Batteries can leak, and cause severe damage.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures. When parked in the sun, never leave
your detector in a closed car or in the trunk.
3. If you “scrub” your detector coil on the ground, you will eventually
wear through it. Invest in a coil cover. They are an inexpensive way
to protect your investment.
4. Keep your 1270 clean. Periodically remove the lower stem, and wipe
it down. Keep the lock nuts free of sand and dirt.
5. Keep your 1270 dry. Cover the control housing with a plastic bag or
something similar if you hunting out in the rain, fog, dust, or near the
surf.
Laws governing the use of metal detectors are common in some
areas. In many countries, the use of metal detectors is illegal or
severely restricted. DON’T LET THIS HAPPEN IN YOUR COUNTRY!
• Always check Federal, State, County and local laws before
searching.
• Respect private property and do not enter private property
without the owner’s permission.
• Take care to rell all holes and try not to leave any damage.
• Remove and dispose of any and all trash and litter found.
• Appreciate and protect our inheritance of natural resources,
wildlife and private property.
• Act as an ambassador for the hobby, use thoughtfulness,
consideration and courtesy at all times.
• Never destroy historical or archaeological treasures.
• All treasure hunters may be judged by the example you set;
always conduct yourself with courtesy and consideration of
others.
