fully read the message that follows.
The Model 008 CO
2
PowerLine pistol shoots with much more muzzle energy than
most BB and pellet guns. Use extreme caution when operating this gun.
Although your new PowerLine pistol is not a firearm, it has lethal potential and
should be trea
ted with the caution and respect due an
y conventional firearm. Like a
firearm,
your P
owerLine pistol, when misused or carelessly used, can kill or serious-
ly injure the shooter or other persons.
Al
ways remember, the first and most important
safety fea
ture of an
y gun is the shooter. All safeties are mechanical devices and the
shooter is the only part of the system tha
t can make a gun safe–or unsafe.
DON’T
DEPEND ON MECHANICAL SAFETIES–think ahead and a
void situa
tions that might
lead to accidents.
Guns differ in their opera
tion,
and you are never read
y to fire an
y gun until you
are thoroughly familiar with it.

i
n a safe place to prevent unauthorized use.
INSERT CO2 CYLINDER
1. Put safety "ON SAFE” (S) - red dot covered (Fig. 4).
2
. Remove left grip cover by lifting the grip cover tab (Fig. 2A).
3
. Open puncture lever until there is enough room to insert a CO
2
c
ylinder. Insert the large end
of the CO
2
cylinder into the lower portion of the grip (Fig. 2B).
4
. Hold the gun in an inverted position with the grip pointing up and the muzzle pointing away
f
rom you. Position the small end of the CO
2
c
ylinder inside the retainer so that the CO
2
c
ylin-
d
er touches the puncture pin (Fig. 2C).
5
. While continuing to hold gun in an inverted position, replace the left grip cover, point the
m
uzzle in a safe direction and close the puncture lever firmly to puncture the CO
2
c
ylinder
(
Fig. 2D).
W
ARNING:
B
e sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction when puncturing a CO

c
ylinder.
In the event that a seal temporarily leaks while a CO
2
cylinder is being punctured, the CO

gas
m
ay escape through the barrel. If ammunition is jammed in the barrel from prior shooting, this
c
ould result in a projectile being shot.
W
ARNING:
U
se only 12 gram CO

ylinders. Any attempt to use other types of gas cylinders
could be extremely dangerous and could result in serious injury. Gasses other than CO
2
could
r
esult in an explosion or rupture of the gun.
LOAD ROTARY CLIP
1
. Open breech of pistol by depressing barrel housing latch. Rotate the barrel housing downward
at the muzzle end to open the breech (Fig.5).
2
. Remove rotary clip and insert a total of eight projectiles into the rotary clip from the solid side
o
f the clip.

HOW TO OPERATE
W
A
RNING:
B
e sure gun is alw
ays pointed in a safe direction.
Step 1.
PUT SAFETY “ON SAFE” (S)- RED DOT COVERED.
Rota
te safety lever toward the "ON
SAFE" (S) position (F
ig. 4). With the safety in this position, the trigger CAN be pulled although the
g
un will not discharge any
C
O
2
o
r ammunition.
N
OT
E:
T
he safety is manual and not automat
ic. It
will only do its job when you do yours.
R
EMEMBER, THE BEST SAFETY IS GOOD GUN HANDLING.
Step 2.
LO
AD
Open breech of pistol by depressing barrel housing la
tch. Rotate the barrel
h
ousing downward at the muzzle end to open the breech (Fig.5). Insert a loaded clip fully into
b
reech of barrel so that
hole in center of clip seats onto breech pin (Fig. 6). Close barrel housing.
S
tep 3. AIM AT SAFE TARGET
T
o be a consistent marksman, use the correct sight picture each
time you fire the pistol (F
ig. 7).
C
AUTION:
Due to the po
wer of this CO
2
pistol,
use extra caution in selecting a safe target and
p
roper backstop based on the ammunition you’re shooting. N
ever shoot BBs into a steel trap
d
esigned for pellets and never shoot pellets at a target/backstop designed for BBs. Pick tar-
gets and backstops tha
t will not cause a ricochet or allow the ammo to penetrate the
b
ackstop. Never shoot at a flat hard surface or at the surface of water.
S
tep 4. T
AKE SAFETY “OFF SAFE” (F) - RED DOT SHOWING.
W
hen you are certain that
the
t
arget, back stop and surrounding area are safe, take the gun “OFF SAFE” (F) by sliding the safe-
ty release button to
ward the rear and rotate the safety lever toward the “OFF SAFE” (F) position
(
Fig. 8). Your gun is now ready to shoot. Pulling the trigger now will shoot a projectile out of the
g
un. In this condition, your gun should be handled with extreme care.
Step 5. FIRE The pistol can be safely fired after properly completing the operating steps
mentioned above. After making sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction, gently but firmly,
s
queeze the trigger. If you desire to continue shooting, the operation steps can be repeated until
t
he CO
2
c
ylinder requires replacement. If a projectile does not fire after completing the opera-
tion steps, keep the gun pointed in a safe direction and make the following checks:
1. Safety is pointing to "OFF SAFE" (F) position.
2
. Put safety “ON SAFE” (S) (Fig. 4) and check to see that a CO
2
c
ylinder with sufficient CO
2
gas is installed and the puncture lever is fully closed.
3. Refer to the section on "CO
2
Characteristics".
WARNING: If the pistol still fails to shoot a projectile after checking the three items above and
repeating the operation steps, there is a malfunction in the pistol. This could represent a dan-
gerous condition. There could be ammunition in the pistol even though it did not shoot out. This
could cause the user to mistakenly believe the pistol is unloaded. (Refer to "Pistol Malfunction"
section to correct the problem).
PRIOR TO OPERATION
PUT SAFETY “ON SAFE” (S) – POSITION SAFETY LEVER TO COVER RED DOT.
OPERATION STEPS
WARNING: Be sure gun is always pointed in a safe direction. Insert CO
2
cylinder.
G
un can continue to be shot until the ammunition clip or the CO
2
c
ylinder needs to be
r
eplaced. The Model 008 will obtain a minimum of 60 shots per CO
2
c
ylinder. Refer to section
on CO
2
characteristics.
