ABOUT YOUR FISHER 1270 The 1270 is a “motion” detector and was designed to offer you more versatility in a wide range of conditions: Highly mineralized soil, extremely trashy areas, and deep targets. By utilizing the various controls on the 1270, you will find more items that were unreachable until today.

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.
STEP 6. When the stem length is properly adjusted, tighten the lower lock nut, and the coil wing nut. CAUTION: Never use a pliers or anything other than your hand to tighten either lock nut or wing nut. STEP 7. Disconnect the search-coil cable from the control housing and wrap it around the stem.
CONTROLS & FUNCTIONS 5 1. ON / OFF VOLUME: ON /OFF VOLUME: Allows you turn on the 1270 and adjust the volume to a comfortable level. No need to have a special headphone with volume controls.
6 7. IRON DISC TOGGLE: When this toggle switch is flipped ON, the 1270 will operate in IRON DISC mode. When operating in this mode, the IRON DISC control becomes ac- tive and the NORMAL DISC control will be ignored.
7 ALL METAL MODE Your 1270 gives you two ways to search in all-metal operation: (1) by set- ting your NORMAL DISC to 0, or (2) by turning on the ALL METAL GROUND ADJUST (rotate knob clockwise).
8 IRON DISC MODE metal. This may be tested quickly by pulling the trigger switch and sweep- ing over an area of about one square foot. If no signal is detected, release the trigger switch and raise the search coil off the ground, and lower it back down two or three times (also known as “bobbing”).
NORMAL DISC MODE When rejection of a full range of other non-ferrous trash is desired, the NORMAL DISC mode will be necessary. Make sure the ALL METAL GROUND ADJUST is OFF; that is, fully counterclockwise until it “clicks” into the “0” position.
SEARCH TECHNIQUES Good searching techniques are every bit as important as having a good detector. 1. Adjust your SENSITIVITY control. Only experience will tell you how to set it in every situation. As general rule, turn up the sensitivity to achieve maximum depth and detection of small items.
SEARCH TECHNIQUES NO- MOTION PINPOINT 1. When the target “beep” is heard, make an “X” over the target, as de- scribed above, to determine the target area. 2. Move the coil away from the target area, and lower the coil to the ground. 3. Pull, and hold the MODE TRIGGER switch.
TARGET RECOVERY Once you have pinpointed a target, your objective is to recover it quickly and neatly, leaving virtually no trace of your excavation. There are many ways do this, and you will soon discover which method works best for you. REMEMBER: Always leave the ground in the same condition as you found it.
A “False Signal” occurs when something sounds like a good target, but is not. Your 1270 does a great job of discriminating, but bad “targets” with similar electrical characteristics can fool it. Large pieces of trash or items very close to the search coil will occasionally sound “good”.
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.
