• Keep the barrel blocking device installed on marker when not shooting (page 4).
• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never fire your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may be
paintballs or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel, and/or the marker valve.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Never fire your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can
cause damage and the paint can stain the finish of automobiles, houses, etc.
• Always keep the muzzle pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or
fall.
• Eye, face, and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs in the form of
goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specification F 1776 must be worn by the
user and any person within range.
• Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face, and ear protection
designed for paintball.
• Pressurize and load the marker only when the marker will be immediately used.
• Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling, be sure to remove paintballs and air
/
CO2
supply (see unloading and air
/
CO2 removal instructions on pages 9 -11) and install
the barrel blocking device (see page 4).
• Do not field strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with
air/CO2 supply.
• Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin
when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer will absorb some of the
impact and protect you from the paintballs.
• Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air
/
CO2
cylinder or if the marker or air
/
CO2 supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and
nitrogen gasses are very cold and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
• Use only .68 caliber paintballs. Never load or fire any foreign objects.
• Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling
markers while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for
public safety.
• Avoid shooting an opponent at point blank, 6 feet or less.
• Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air
/
CO2 cylinder or adapter. Contact
the air
/
CO2 cylinder or adapter manufacturer with any questions.
• Read the
Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings
and
Safety Tips
on pages 22–24 before
beginning the cylinder installation or removal.
• Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at
velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (see instructions on page 10).
• Do not brandish or display this product in public as it may cause confusion and may
be a crime. Police or others may mistake this product for a real firearm. Altering the
coloration or markings required by state or federal law to make the product look
more like a firearm is dangerous and may be a crime.
