NOTE
• When setting-up or adjusting the stand, take care not to pinch your ngers between movable parts and the main unit. If using this in a location where children are present, be sure to provide adult supervision or guidance.
• Prepare an area in which you can perform the assembly safely.
• Do not use a power tool (e.g., an electric screwdriver) to assemble the stand. You risk damaging or stripping the screws.
* If you will be using this drum stand for an extended period of time in the same location, we recommend that you use a drum mat (TDM series) made by Roland to prevent the rubber feet from soiling the surface on which they are placed.
