or objects have gotten inside the equipment or if it has been
damaged in another way, switch it off immediately and unplug
it from the mains outlet (if it is a powered device). This
equipment may only be repaired by authorized, qualified per-
sonnel.
19. Clean the equipment using a dry cloth.
20. Comply with all applicable disposal laws in your country. Dur-
ing disposal of packaging, please separate plastic and paper/

FOR EQUIPMENT THAT CONNECTS TO THE POWER MAINS:
22. CAUTION: If the power cord of the device is equipped with an
earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with
a protective ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of
a power cord.
23. If the equipment has been exposed to strong fluctuations in
temperature (for example, after transport), do not switch it on
immediately. Moisture and condensation could damage the equip-
ment. Do not switch on the equipment until it has reached room
te mperature.
24. Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first
verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the values
specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage se-
lection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only
if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If
the included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your
wall outlet, contact your electrician.
25. Do not step on the power cord. Make certain that the power
cable does not become kinked, especially at the mains outlet
and/or power adapter and the equipment connector.
26. When connecting the equipment, make certain that the power
cord or power adapter is always freely acces sible. Always dis-
connect the equipment from the power supply if the equipment
is not in use or if you want to clean the equipment. Always
unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet
at the plug or adapter and not by pulling on the cord. Never
touch the power cord and power adapter with wet hands.

27. Whenever possible, avoid switching the equipment on and off in
quick succession because otherwise this can shorten the useful
life of the equipment.
28. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Replace fuses only with fuses of the
same type and rating. If a fuse blows repeatedly, please con-
tact an authorised service centre.
29. To disconnect the equipment from the power mains com pletely, unplug
the power cord or power adapter from the power outlet.
30. If your device is equipped with a Volex power con nector, the
mating Volex equipment connector must be unlocked before it
can be removed. However, this also means that the equipment
can slide and fall down if the power cable is pulled, which
can lead to personal injuries and/or other damage. For this
reason, always be careful when laying cables.
31. Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet
if there is a risk of a lightning strike or
before extended periods of disuse.
CAUTION:
Never remove the cover, because otherwise there may be a risk of
electric shock. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Have
repairs carried out only by qualified service personnel.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equi-
lateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the pres-
ence of uninsulated „dangerous voltage“ with in the product‘s
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electrical shock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1AND 2SW 1 AND SW 2 WITH LED INDICATOR
These heavy-duty footswitches trigger the remote switching signal
of channels 1 and 2. When they are engaged the corresponding LEDs
light up to indicate that the channel is active.
3AND 7CLOSED / OPEN
These sliders select either normally open or normally closed relay
switching to individually match the PF2SW’s channels to the device
to be controlled. Refer to the device’s manual for its switching
type, or simply try each position for the best result.
4AND 6LATCH / PULSE
These sliders select either a latching (contact closure) control
signal or momentary electronic pulse to switch the connected
device. Most classic amp designs, for instance, utilize the
latching type for reverb and tremolo on / off switching. Refer
to the device’s manual for its switching type, or simply try each
position for the best result.
5MASTER
THIS 3-POSITION SLIDER SELECTS EITHER FOOTSWITCH AS A MASTER SWITCH
to simultaneously control both channels with a single stomp. In
the OFF position, the PF2SW operates in dual mode with each foot-
switch controlling its own channel.
8AND 10 REMOTE 1 AND 2
These are the PF2SW switching signal outputs. Use a quality
instrument cable with 1/4” jacks to connect the remote switching
output to a device’s footswitch input.
NOTE: A device’s footswitch input format may require a dedicated
cable such as 1/4” to RCA. Devices with a 1/4” TRS footswitch input
controlling two functions can be connected using a 1/4” TRS to dual

1/4” TS Y-cable. These should be readily available at your local
music store and from online retailers. For other formats requiring
custom cables consult a qualified technician.
