Owner's Manual

• SPECIAL CAUTIONS!
Precision adult airguns, because of their design, are a special class of non-powder guns and may
have a trigger pull below 2 lbs., may fire if dropped, and may not have a trigger block or “safety.”
These features reflect the more sophisticated needs of precision adult airgun shooting. Such
airguns are often carefully designed to have very sensitive trigger mechanisms and trigger pulls
which are much lighter than regular airguns. This special class of airguns is intended for use by
experienced adult shooters who understand their proper and safe use. All shooters and bystanders
should always wear protective glasses during firing.
• COCK CAREFULLY
The cocking mechanism of many spring-piston airguns may close suddenly if released accidentally;
this may injure the shooter, bystanders , and damage the airgun. Avoid excessive cocking force.
Cock smoothly and go easy near the end of the cocking stroke. DO NOT snap airgun shut!
• AVOID TRIGGER WHEN BREECH IS OPEN
Breech may close suddenly if trigger is tripped!
• TREAT ALL AIRGUNS AS IF LOADED
Follow safe airgun handling practices. Remember that airguns can be dangerous if mishandled.
• NEVER DEPEND ON ANY “SAFETY”
A safety is just a mechanical device and, therefore, could be subject to failure. There is no substitute
for safe airgun handling.
• DO NOT LEAVE AIRGUN COCKED OR LOADED
Avoid leaving the mainspring of spring-piston airguns under full compression for extended
periods. It is best to cock just before firing. Always check every airgun to see if it is loaded every
time you handle it. Always assume your airgun is loaded.
• USE PROPER PELLETS
Use only high-quality Beeman® pellets to avoid harmful oils, abrasive material, and air blow-by.
Precision adult airguns are intended for use only with lead pellets; steel shot or darts damage air
rifle bores and may cause dangerous ricochet or rebound. Properly seated pellets should not show
rub marks on rear of skirt if breech is reopened prior to firing. Damaged, used, or unauthorized
projectiles may be unsafe.
• USE ONLY SPECIAL LUBRICANTS
Special lubricants are recommended for this special type of airgun. Avoid ordinary lubricants and
regular firearm solvents and oils. DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE!
STORE YOUR AIRGUN IN A SAFE AND PROPER MANNER, SECURE FROM UNAUTHORIZED USE!
DANGER
Determine if your airgun has anything in its barrel.
The muzzle end of any airgun is dangerous. Never depend on any safety. All safeties are mechanical
devices and therefore subject to failure. Your airgun should be safely locked up when not in use.
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
Be sure your airgun is unloaded when: crossing a fence, stream, or other barrier; letting go of it for
any reason; putting it away; or allowing another person to handle it; entering a house, vehicle. The
only sure way to be sure that your airgun is not loaded is to look through the bore or pass an object
all the way through the bore. A projectile or obstruction could be present anywhere in the bore. If
your airgun is a barrel-cocking airgun, simply open the barrel slightly and look down the bore from
the rear. YOU MUST BE ABLE TO SEE ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE BORE TO CONSIDER
IT CLEAR. If your airgun has a fixed breech block arrangement (other than tap loader) that makes it
difficult to look down the barrel directly from the rear, you should use a small mirror or pass a
cleaning rod, that will not harm the bore, all the way through to determine if it is clear.
You should have a proper cleaning rod for the above safety checks and to insure best accuracy. A
cleaning rod may also be used to clear a projectile or other obstruction out of the barrel. Never fire a
projectile to clear a barrel! Such an action will only make the problem worse and may be dangerous.
STATEMENT OF NON-LIABILITY
Airguns can cause serious harm, and in some instances, even death and should be handled with great
care! This airgun is surrendered by Beeman
®
Precision Airguns with the express understanding that we
assume no liability for its resale, handling, use or possession under local laws or regulations. Neither
the manufacturer nor Beeman
®
Precision Airguns assumes any responsibility whatsoever. Personal
injury or property damage resulting from either intentional or accidental discharge or for airgun
functions subjected to influences beyond our control, are the sole responsibility of the airgun owner.
We will honor no claims that may result from careless handling, unauthorized adjustments, defective
or improper ammunition, corrosion or neglect.
By accepting this airgun, the buyer agrees to release the seller and Beeman
®
Precision Airguns, and all
associated persons from liability for any damage to persons or property that may result, for any
reason, by using this airgun. Safety is your responsibility.
NOT RECOMMENDED
We do NOT recommend the use of steel darts in any rifled bore. Also not recommended: plastic
sheathed steel or zinc pellets. Their hard cores can cause dangerous ricochet and penetration
through immediate effect. Their lightness and lack of air resistance may cause excessive piston
impact inside the airgun.
“SLAM SHUT” DAMAGE NOT COVERED
NOTE: DO NOT snap a barrel cocking airgun’s barrel shut excessively hard or allow it to fly up
from an open position. This can cause an upward bent barrel, a cracked or broken stock and a
bent cocking lever. This combination of damage always represents abuse and is not covered by
any warranty, repair policy, or service contract! Snapping such airguns shut may also cause a
discharge. Always point every airgun in a safe direction!
WARNING
Airguns are not toys. Misuse or careless use may cause serious injury or death.
