• Keep your finger out of the trigger guard and away from the trigger;
point the muzzle of the marker in a safe direction at all times. Keep the
marker turned OFF when not in use. The TM-15 uses a power switch
and a selector switch for its safety devices.
• Always keep your TM-15 pointed in a safe direction. Always use a barrel
plug or barrel blocking device. Always use paintball specific eye protec-
tion meeting or exceeding ASTM standards in any areas where paintball
markers may be discharged.
• Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.
Feed Elbow Installation
Seat the feed elbow onto
the narrow section of the
top picatinny rail: about 1"
forward of the feed hole on
the right side of the
marker (Fig. 1.2). Then push
and hold in the latch button while sliding the feed elbow toward the rear
of the marker (Fig. 1.3). Just before the feed elbow covers the feed hole
in the right side of the marker, release the latch button and continue slid-
ing the feed elbow until the latch locks into the rail slot. When done cor-
rectly, the feed elbow will now be unable to slide forward or backward
without holding in the latch button, and the feed hole in the right side
shell will not be visible from the sides of the feed elbow.
Barrel Installation
Make sure marker is degassed, hopper removed, no paintballs in the feed
elbow or breech, and the TM-15 is turned off.
• While pointing marker in a safe direction, place the threaded end of the
barrel into the front opening of the marker body.
• Turn the barrel clockwise until it stops (do not over tighten).
• Install a barrel blocking device. This can be a barrel plug or other such
device that prevents the accidental discharge of paintballs.
Switching on your TM-15
Warning: Before switching on your TM-15, make sure it is pointed in a safe
direction. Always use a barrel plug or barrel blocking device. Remember
that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator.
To switch the TM-15 on, set the selector switch to the (S) safety position.
The TM-15 will not turn on unless the selector is in the safety position.
Locate the power button on the left side of the marker. Push and hold the
power button for 2 seconds and the LED light will turn green and then to
red. Release the button and the LED will remain red.
The TM-15 will now be on and in the (S) safety position. To make the TM-15 live,
move the selector switch to the F1, F2, or F3 positions. Do not move the selec-
tor switch to a firing position until you are ready to safely use the marker.
Switching OFF your TM-15
Move the Selector Switch to the (S) safety position, push and hold the
power button for 2 seconds, and the LED will turn from red to green.

Selector Switch
The TM-15 comes equipped with a four-position selector switch which comes
factory set in the recreational firing mode setting. Move the selector from posi-
tion (S) safety, to positions (F1, F2, and F3) to change into a firing mode (Fig 1.4).
