Fisher M-SCOPE 1270 - Manual (Page 5)

SETTING UP
Your new 1270 comes ready to assemble and use, but first review
the steps below before proceeding.
STEP 1.
Unpack your 1270 carefully, and save the carton: It may come in handy on
the rare occasion that you may need service.
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
opposite 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.
STEP 5.
Adjust the length and the coil angles so that the search coil rests flat on
the ground about 12 inches in front of your foot. Your arm should be straight
and relaxed. Proper length will greatly reduce arm fatigue.
