For optimal performance of the AXE eyes, keep the inside of the AXE breech clean and clear of
broken paint, paint residue, or other debris. Although the eyes can be cleaned via cleaning the breech
of the AXE marker, if the eye board needs to be accessed, please follow the steps outlined in the Main
BodyAssemblysectionofthismanual.
TRIGGER PULL INDICATION
IftheTriggerisbeingpressed,theLEDwilldisplayadimRedLEDwhichcanbeseenbetweenblinks
of the Eye Setting LED.
5. REGULATOR AND VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
TheAXEutilizesaRegulatoratthebottomoftheGripFramethatdoublesasanAirSourceAdapter
(ASA)forastandardthreadedpre-setoutputcompressedairsystem.ThisuniqueRegulatorsystem
channelsairthroughachamberintheGripFrameeliminatingtheneedforexternalhosesandttings.
The Regulator controls the amount of air pressure going from your compressed air system into the
marker itself.
ADJUSTING THE VELOCITY
TheRegulatoroutputpressureandtheVelocityAdjustersettingbothaffectandtheAxe’svelocity.
Yourmarkershouldbefactorysettoshootabout275fps,butitwillbenecessarytoadjustyourAxe
markerduetoeldrulesandpaintballsizedifferences.
SettingtheVelocityAdjuster
− Withmarkerdegassed,turnthevelocityadjusterallthewayinuntilitstopsusinga3/32”hex 
 wrench(Fig5-1).
− Thenturnthevelocityadjustercounter-clockwise1fullturn.
− Thissetsyourvelocityadjustertothedefaultsettingof1turn.
AdjustingRegulatorOutputPressure
− Withthemarkerdegassed,adjusttheregulatoradjustmentscrewusinga3/32”hexwrenchsoit’s
 ushwiththeregulatorcap.(Fig5-2)Thisisthedefaultsetting.
− Usingtheregulatorlever,applyairintothemarker.
− Useapaintballspecicchronographtoadjustregulatortothedesiredvelocity.Whichshouldnever
 beabove300feetpersecond,pleasechecktheeldsspecicvelocityrequirementsastheyvary.
− ToIncreaseinputpressure,turnClockwise,makingsmalladjustmentswhilecheckingvelocity 
using a chronograph.
− ToDecreasepressure,turnCounter-clockwise,makingsmalladjustmentswhilecheckingvelocity
 usingachronograph.Itisnecessarytoshootthemarkertodecreasethepressurestoredinthe 
marker.
− Theregulatorisdesignedtoventifit’sturneduptoohigh.Ifthishappens,degasyourmarkerand
turn the adjustment counter clockwise.
FineTuningtheVelocitywithAdjuster
Iffurtheradjustmentisneededtonetuneyourmarkersvelocity.Whenadjustingthevelocityadjuster,
make small ¼ turn adjustments at a time.
− Turningthevelocityadjusterclockwisewilllowerthevelocityslightly,asitallowsthepoppetopenless.
− Turningthevelocityadjustercounterclockwisewillincreasethevelocityslightly,asitallowsthe 
 poppettoopenfurther.Itisrecommendedthatyoudon’tgoabove2fullturnsfromallthewayin
Notes:
• Always make regulator adjustments while using a paintball chronograph.
• DonotuseCO2!!!
• The Regulator should not be disassembled.
• Theregulatorisdesignedtoventatabout275psi.
• Thismarkerwasdesignedwithsafetyandsafetystandardsinmind.Ifyouattempttoshoot
paintballs at a higher velocity than established safety standards, the marker may not function
properly.
• Ifyouattempttooperatethemarkeratextremelyhighvelocities,theinternalswillnotfunction 
properly.
• This marker is not designed to shoot above the safety limits established by industry standards but
 undercertainconditionsitmay.Itisthereforeimportanttocheckthevelocityeachtimebefore 
playing with your AXE.
6. SHOCKWAVE BOARD SETTINGS AND FUNCTIONS
The electronic board features several modes and functions that are listed below. The board is located
insidethefrontForegripofthemarker.Beforechangingoradjustinganyoftheboardfunctions,
remove the propellant source from the AXE and install a barrel blocking device. The board inside
yourAXEfeatures4ringmodesand6adjustablefunctions.Itusesa3colorLEDindicatoronthe
backside of the front Foregrip to indicate functions and modes during programming
TOURNAMENT LOCK
Tournament lock is a feature that prevents the marker from entering the Settings Mode while in the
eld,toallowthemarkertobetournamentlegal.Seeyourtournament’srulebookforanexplanation
on what is required to lock your marker. Tournament Lock can be turned on/off by using the dip switch
1locatedontheinsideoftheForegripnearthebottomofthecircuitboard.Flipdipswitch#1tothe
ON(UPwhenlyingat)positiontoactivatetheTournamentLock.(Fig6-1)Whentournamentlockis
ON,SettingsModecannotbeactivated.SeeSection7forinstructionstoaccesstheForegrip.
