OPERATION
6B. Aiming
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to
protect your eyes.
• Always aim your airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of
your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, select
single-re, 4-shot burst, or 8-shot burst, and the rate of re, take “OFF SAFE”
(See Step 2B) and squeeze the trigger to re.
• The airgun is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned
exactly in the notch and even with the rear sight. The top of the front sight
blade should be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The
bullseye should appear to rest on the top of the front sight
(See illustration 13).
• The rear sight is adjustable for windage.
If the airgun shoots too far to the right: turn the knob counterclockwise.
If the airgun shoots too far to the left: turn the knob clockwise.
(See illustration 14).
CAUTION: Your backstop should be inspected for wear before and after each use.
Discontinue use if the backstop surface shows signs of failure. Always place the backstop in
a location that will be safe should the backstop fail. Discontinue the use of a backstop if the
projectile rebounds or ricochets.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO
2
capsule, which can impact its
proper performance. These conditions include the usage, maintenance and storage
at temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoors temperatures
(60°-80º F / 16º-27° C). Another condition may be when the gun is red rapidly.
1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO
2
capsule and also
within the gun, leading to higher than standard operating pressure. This excess
pressure could cause the gun to malfunction or be permanently damaged.
Maximum storage or operation temperature should never exceed 122°F (50°C).
This temperature can be reached if you leave the gun under direct sunlight on
a bright day. Thus, to ensure proper gun operation, do not expose it to high
temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Otherwise, the CO
2
capsule could overheat and explode, which could damage the airgun and
cause injuries or death to people around it.
2. Fast consecutive shooting may produce a decrease of temperature in the
gun, as well as the CO
2
capsule. This could result in lower projectile velocities
and may even lower gas pressure enough so that the pistol will not re. This
condition can be especially apparent when shooting in cold weather and can be
avoided by allowing more time between shots. This permits the gas to increase
in temperature and pressure and produce normal velocities.
3. During rapid re, the muzzle velocity of each shot will diminish. This can
affect shooting accuracy and you will get fewer shots per CO
2
capsule.
4. Care should be exercised to insure that the gun is not shot with a CO
2
capsule that is low in pressure. Here are some indicators of insufcient
pressure:
A) The sound of the shot is not as loud as when the capsule is full.
B) The projectile hits the target, but in a lower position than it would with
a full CO
2
capsule (that is, the shooting speed has dropped).
7. Use and Handling of CO
2
Capsules
WARNING:
CO
2
CAPSULES MAY EXPLODE AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120° F.
DO NOT MUTILATE OR INCINERATE THEM. DO NOT EXPOSE THEM TO HEAT OR STORE CO2
CAPSULES AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 120°F.

9. Trouble
Shooting
• Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the airgun
pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep your nger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard
until ready to shoot.
• Never point the airgun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Always treat the airgun as though it is loaded and with the same respect
you would a rearm.
• Never look down the barrel of an airgun.
• Always keep the airgun “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot.
• Always check to see if the airgun is “ON SAFE” and unloaded when
getting it from another person or from storage.
• Use only the proper size and type of projectile as it is marked on
the airgun.
• Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The BB may
bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not
intended to hit.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use.
All backstops are subject to wear and will eventually fail. Replace your
backstop if the surface is worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airgun. Unauthorized
repairs or modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe
and will void your warranty.
• Before you store your airgun, make sure it is unloaded, the CO
2
capsule is
removed, and is “ON SAFE.”
• Always store your airgun in a secure location away from unauthorized
users and separate from ammunition.
10. Reviewing Safety
WARNING:
DO NOT BRANDISH OR DISPLAY THIS AIRGUN IN PUBLIC – IT
MAY CONFUSE PEOPLE AND MAY BE A CRIME. POLICE AND OTHERS MAY THINK IT IS A
FIREARM. DO NOT CHANGE THE COLORATION AND MARKINGS TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE
LIKE A FIREARM. THAT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY BE A CRIME.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Always check to make sure the airgun is unloaded when getting from
storage or from another person.
CAUTION: Never attempt to reuse a CO
2
capsule for any purpose.
With care and routine inspections your airgun will provide many sessions of
shooting enjoyment. Abuse, neglect and continued exposure to the elements
will impair the performance of any airgun. To ensure continued proper function,
apply 1 to 2 drops of RWS Spring Cylinder oil onto all moving parts such as the
BB follower and the trigger hinge (1000 shots).
8. Maintaining Your Airgun
CAUTION: Before any care, cleaning or maintenance, always be sure your airgun is
unloaded and the CO2 capsule is removed. Keep pointed in a safe direction. It is important to
perform routine inspections and maintain your airgun properly.
CAUTION: Oils that contain acid or resin can damage the seals and possibly the
airgun nish.
WARNING:
AN AIRGUN THAT IS NOT OPERATING PROPERLY MAY BE
DANGEROUS. IT SHOULD BE KEPT SAFELY FROM USE BY ANYONE UNTIL REPAIRED OR
DESTROYED. DO NOT TRY TO TAKE THE AIRGUN APART. IT IS DIFFICULT TO REASSEMBLE
AND IMPROPER DISASSEMBLY OR REASSEMBLY CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
