12 Captive bolt stunner device
6.2 Cocking
6.3 Firing
When loading the blank cartridge and cocking the striking
pin, the device must be held such that it is not pointed to-
wards the operator's own body, body line or other people.
The captive bolt stunner must be cocked only immediately
before ring (actuating the trigger)!
The device must not be held by the muzzle. Never hold the
bottom end of the device (where the bolt emerges) against
the body – even when looking for potential faults.
If a loaded captive bolt stunner is not to be red immediate-
ly, it should be unloaded!
To re the device, it should be held securely with both
hands. The guiding hand should be near the trigger. The
holding hand should be underneath. Then position the
lock quietly and carefully but then rmly against the skull
of the animal and trigger the device quickly. The shot is
red by pressing on the trigger with one or two ngers –
press all the way down. This triggers the bolt and stuns the
animal.
The gures in chapter 6.5 show the positions where the captive bolt stun-
ner must be placed for the individual types of animal.
The device is to be applied to the optimal stunning point of the skullcap
for the specic animal, as close to perpendicular as possible. In the case of
fattened pigs, the stunning apparatus should be applied at a downwards
angle of 25° to the vertical line. The optimal strike point prevents the bolt
from becoming jammed in the skull.
Pull the striking pin out by the striking pin nut until the trigger can be
heard latching into place.
The captive bolt stunner is now ready to re.
