OPERATION
6B. Aiming
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to
protect your eyes.
• Always aim your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of
your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, select
single-fire, 4-shot burst, or 8-shot burst, and the rate of fire, take “OFF SAFE”
(See Step 2B) and squeeze the trigger to fire.
• The airgun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned
exactly in the notch and even with the rear sight. The top of the front sight
blade should be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The
bullseye should appear to rest on the top of the front sight
(See illustration 13).
• The rear sight is adjustable for windage.
If the airgun shoots too far to the right: turn the knob counterclockwise.
If the airgun shoots too far to the left: turn the knob clockwise.
(See illustration 14).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO
2
capsule, which can impact its
proper performance. These conditions include the usage, maintenance and storage
at temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoors temperatures
(60°-80° F / 16°-27° C). Another condition may be when the gun is fired rapidly.
1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO
2
capsule and also
within the gun, leading to higher than standard operating pressure. This excess
pressure could cause the gun to malfunction or be permanently damaged.
Maximum storage or operation temperature should never exceed 122°F (50°C).
This temperature can be reached if you leave the gun under direct sunlight on
a bright day. Thus, to ensure proper gun operation, do not expose it to high
temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Otherwise, the CO
2
capsule could overheat and explode, which could damage the airgun and
cause injuries or death to people around it.
2. Fast consecutive shooting may produce a decrease of temperature in the
gun, as well as the CO
2
capsule. This could result in lower projectile velocities
and may even lower gas pressure enough so that the pistol will not fire. This
condition can be especially apparent when shooting in cold weather and can be
avoided by allowing more time between shots. This permits the gas to increase
in temperature and pressure and produce normal velocities.
3. During rapid fire, the muzzle velocity of each shot will diminish. This can
affect shooting accuracy and you will get fewer shots per CO
2
capsule.
4. Care should be exercised to insure that the gun is not shot with a CO
2
capsule that is low in pressure. Here are some indicators of insufficient
pressure:
A) The sound of the shot is not as loud as when the capsule is full.
B) The projectile hits the target, but in a lower position than it would with
a full CO
2
capsule (that is, the shooting speed has dropped).
7. Use and Handling of CO
2
Capsules
WARNING:
CO
2
CAPSULES MAY EXPLODE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 122° F.
DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE THEM. DO NOT EXPOSE THEM TO HEAT OR STORE CO
2
CAPSULES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 122°F.

YOUR BACKSTOP SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR WEAR BEFORE AND AFTER EACH
USE. DISCONTINUE USE IF THE BACKSTOP SURFACE SHOWS SIGNS OF FAILURE.
ALWAYS PLACE THE BACKSTOP IN A LOCATION THAT WILL BE SAFE SHOULD THE
BACKSTOP FAIL. DISCONTINUE THE USE OF A BACKSTOP IF THE PROJECTILE
REBOUNDS OR RICOCHETS.
CAUTION
