AUTOMATIC OFF FEATURE
TheAXEalsohasan“AutomaticOFF”feature.IfyouleaveyourAXEpoweredon,itwillshutitselfoff
afterapproximately60minutesofinactivity.Thistimecannotbeadjusted.
EYE FUNCTION
The AXE board is pre-programmed to activate the eye system each time the marker is powered up.
SeeSection4(BreakBeamEyesOperation)formoredetails.
3. FIRING THE AXE
KeepyourngeroutoftheTriggerGuardandawayfromtheTrigger,pointthebarrelofyourmarkerin
asafedirectionatalltimesduringthisprocess.Besureyourgogglesaresecurelyinplaceandmake
sure the AXE marker is OFF.
WARNING- Everyone within ring range should always use paintball approved eye and face
protection in the presence of live paintball markers.

- Aim the AXE at the target.
- PulltheTriggerwithasmoothsqueezingmotion.
4. BREAK BEAM EYES OPERATION
The AXE uses a break beam eye system to determine the absence or presence of a paintball in the
breechforthepurposesofreducedpaintbreakageandoptimumratesofre.Whenthebreakbeam
systemisactivatedthemarkerwillnotreunlessthebreakbeamsystemdetectsapaintball.TheAXE
board is pre-programmed to activate the eye system each time the marker is powered up.
To turn the eyes OFF, ensure that there are no paintballs in the AXE breech or feed-neck, make sure
themarkerisswitchedOn,andthentapthebuttononce.Afast,ashingLEDwillindicatethattheeye
system has been deactivated.
To turn the eyes back ON, tap the button one time.
AslowconsistentsingleblinkingGreenLEDindicatesthattheeyesareONwithnoballinthebreech
and a double blink LED indicates that there is a ball in the breech.
IftheBreakBeamEyeSystemmalfunctions,themarkerassumestherewasaballbrokenandthe
RateofFire(ROF)islimitedto8.0balls-per-second(bps)topreventfurtherballbreaks.TheLED
indicatorwillashslowly.TurntheBreakBeamEyeSystemOFFtoallowringatMax
ROFcapsetting.BreakBeamSensorStatusisindicatedbyblinkingfrequencyoftheLED(Seetable
belowforexplanation).Colorwouldbedeterminedbybatterylevel,aslistedinthechartinSection3.
LED INDICATION
TheLEDindicator,locatedabovethebutton,isusedtoindicatethecurrentBreakBeamSensor
Systemstatus,theBatteryLifeIndicatorandTriggerPullindication.TheBreakBeamSensorStatusis
indicatedbytheblinkingfrequencyoftheLED(SeeSection5forfurtherexplanation).IftheTriggeris
being pressed the LED will glow a dim RED which can be seen between blinks of the LED.
BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR
TheAXEalsohasaBatteryLifeIndicator,shownbytheLEDlocatedonthebackoftheForegrip.If
instandardoperationandtheLEDasheswithaGREENcolor,thenthebatteryis“good”.IftheLED
ashesYELLOW/AMBER,thenthebatteryisfairlydepletedandshouldbereplacedsoon.IftheLED
ashesRED,thethereislessthan20%ofthefullbatterystrengthremainingandshouldbereplaced
immediately.BatteryLevelisindicatedbythecoloroftheLED(seetablebelowforexplanation)
NOTE: During rapid ring, the battery can be depleted quickly and the LED may change color and give an incorrect reading. Allow time
for the battery to recover before determining if the battery life is good or truly depleted.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The AXE requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power source. The use of long life, name-
brand alkaline batteries is recommended for optimum performance. The 9-volt battery is located in the
frontForegripinfrontoftheTriggerGuard.ThebatteryisaccessedbyremovingthefrontrubberGrip.
ConrmthatthemarkerisOff.Removethetwoscrewsthatsecurethefrontrubbergriptotheleft-
handsideoftheForegripwitha5/64”hexwrench.Peelbacktherubbergriptoaccessthebattery
compartmentunderneath.IfthereisalreadyabatteryintheForegrip,gentlyremovethebattery,and
thenconnectafresh9-Voltbatteryintothecompartmentfollowingthepolaritymarkingsforpositive(+)
andnegative(-).(Fig2-4)Thenre-installthefrontrubberGripandscrewitsecurelyintoplace.
SWITCHING OFF YOUR AXE
PushandholdthebuttononthefrontForegrip.Afterthebuttonisheldfor2seconds,theLEDwillturnto
a solid RED color. Release button and the AXE will switch Off.
