When using on the drum mat When using on hard-surfaced flooring
Adjusting the anchor bolts
When using the kick pedal on a drum mat or similar surface, adjust the anchor bolts so their tips pro-trude from the plate. Then, secure the pedal in place; this will make it easier to use the kick pedal.
However, when used on hard-surfaced fl ooring, the anchor bolts may damage the fl oor. Adjust the anchor bolts correctly.
When using a twin pedal
Position the two beaters equally apart from the center of the pad as shown in the fi gure at left. If one of the beater is further away from the center than the other, the sound from the further beater will be lower in volume, or will not sound as desired.
Using a twin pedal will result in lower sensitivity as compared to when a single pedal is used. Raise the sensitivity on the sound module.
NOTE
The tips of the anchor bolts are sharp. Handle with care.

Be sure to adjust the head tension of the PDX-8 before use.
Striking the head when the head tension is loose may damage the sensor and head.
Do not apply excessive force to the sen-sor and cushion located under the head. Doing so can interfere with accurate detection, and may damage it.
Due to the nature of the materials used in the sensor of the PDX-8, changes in room temperature may aff ect the sensitivity of the sensor.
The rim rubber is one component that eventually wears out (depending on the number and strength of the rim shots performed), and will require replace-ment. Rim shots may not be performed correctly when the rim rubber is wornout. If this occurs, replace the rim rubber. Consult Roland Service for more on replacing the rim rubber.

Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of injury or material damage should the unit be used improperly.
* Material damage refers to damage or other adverse effects caused with respect to the home and all its furnishings, as well to domestic animals or pets.
Used for instructions intended to alert the user to the risk of death or severe injury should the unit be used improperly.
The ● symbol alerts the user to things that must be carried out. The specific thing that must be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. In the case of the symbol at left, it means that the power-cord plug must be unplugged from the outlet.
The symbol alerts the user to important instructions or warnings.The specific meaning of the symbol is determined by the design contained within the triangle. In the case of the symbol at left, it is used for general cautions, warnings, or alerts to danger.
The symbol alerts the user to items that must never be carried out (are forbidden). The specific thing that must not be done is indicated by the design contained within the circle. In the case of the symbol at left, it means that the unit must never be disassembled.
Placement354a
• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
356
• Do not allow rubber, vinyl, or similar materials to remain on the unit for long periods of time. Such objects can discolor or otherwise harmfully affect the finish.
• When setting up or storing this unit, be careful so the fingers used to grasp the stand don’t get pinched. Also, take care that the stand does not become unbalanced and fall over or fall against you.
Maintenance401a
• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.
402
• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.
Additional Precautions553
• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.
556
• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.
558a
• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).
558d
• This instrument is designed to minimize the extraneous sounds produced when it’s played. However, since sound vibrations can be transmitted through floors and walls to a greater degree than expected, take care not to allow these sounds to become a nuisance to neighbors, especially when performing at night and when using headphones.
562
• Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufac-turer of the cable.
• The rubber portion of the striking surface is treated with a preservative to maintain its performance. With the passage of time, this preservative may appear on the surface as a white stain, or reveal how the pads were struck during product testing. This does not affect the performance or functionality of the product, and you may continue using it with confidence.
• Continuous playing may cause dis-coloration of the pad, but this will not affect the Pad’s function.
962a
