1. Get to know the components of your new air pistol Familiarity with the components of your pistol will help you to understand this instruction manual. Read this manual in order to better enjoy the use of your new weapon.
2. Handling the safety “On Safe” WARNING: Keep the air pistol in the "ON SAFE" position until you are actually ready to shoot. Then push the safety to the "OFF SAFE" position. 2.1 To Put The Air Pistol "ON SAFE:" Locate the safety on the right hand side of the receiver. Push the safety forward, toward the muzzle end of the air pistol (Fig. 1). The safety is not "On Safe" unless it is pushed forward all the way and the RED dot and the "F" on the grip frame are not showing.
3. Insertion and removal of CO2 cartridges WARNING: CO2 cartridges may explode at temperatures above 122° F (50° C). Do not mutilate or incinerate them. Do not expose them to heat or store CO2 cartridges at temperatures above 122°F (50°C). WARNING: Keep hands away from escaping CO2 gas. It can cause frostbite if allowed to come in contact with skin. 3.1 Inserting the CO2 cartridge Make sure the air pistol is "On Safe" (See Step 2.1). Make sure the air pistol is unloaded (See Step 4.2).
3.2 Removing the CO2 cartridge Make sure the air pistol is "On Safe" (See Step 2.1). Make sure the air pistol is unloaded (See Step 4.2). Point the air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION. While supporting the bottom of the grip with your hand to catch the magazine, press the magazine release lever and remove the magazine from the bottom of the grip (See Fig. 3). Turn the magazine shoe clockwise towards "OPEN" (See Fig. 4).
4. Loading and unloading the air gun WARNING: Use cal. .177 (4.5mm) pellets only in this air pistol. Never reuse pellets. Use of any other ammunition can cause injury to you or damage to the air pistol. WARNING: Do not place your hand or fingers over the muzzle. Always make sure your air pistol is pointing in a SAFE DIRECTION, and keep your finger away from the trigger. Failure to follow this warning may cause serious injury.

4.2 Unloading the pistol Put air pistol "On Safe" (See Step 2.1). Open the slide (See Step 4.1). Remove the pellet clip and close the slide. Using a ramrod, gently push each pellet out of the pellet chamber. IMPORTANT: Never use sharp metal tools to remove pellets. Replace the empty pellet clip (ratchet teeth facing the rear sight) in the pistol (See Fig. 10). Close the slide by pushing it all the way back until it locks into place (See Step 4.1 and Fig. 11).
5. Safe aiming and shooting You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes. Always aim your air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, take the air pistol "Off Safe" (See Step 2.2) and squeeze the trigger to fire. Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet may bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not intended to hit.
7. Use and handling of CO2 cartridges It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO2 pistol, which can impact its proper performance. These conditions include the usage, maintenance, and storage at certain temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoors temperatures (from 59°F / 15°C to 69.8°F / 21°C). Another condition may be when the gun is shot at fast speeds. 1.
WARNING: Do not assume that the pistol is unloaded if it fails to fire properly! 8. Removing a jammed pellet IMPORTANT: The fact that the air pistol does not fire a projectile is never a reason to assume that the pellet clip does not contain any more pellets. Firing the air pistol with too little gas pressure left may cause a pellet to get stuck in the barrel. Make sure the air pistol is "ON SAFE" (See 2.1). Remove the CO2 magazine (See 3.2). Open the slide and remove the pellet clip.
10. Care and Maintenance If you maintain and care for your air pistol properly, you will be able to enjoy it for many years. WARNING: Before you attempt to clean your air pistol, always make sure it is "On Safe" (see Step 3.1), the pellet clip is removed and you have checked the barrel to make sure there are no pellets left in it. To clean the outside, use a soft cloth. Your air pistol will work best if you put just a drop of oil directly on the tip of the CO2 cartridge before inserting.
- This air pistol may only be shot on the owner's property or at shooting ranges allowed by the police, and only if the ammunition does not travel further than the shooting area. Bear in mind the maximum range of the pellet (approximately 350 yards (320 m). - Always check to see if the air pistol is on "Safe" and unloaded when getting it from another person or from storage. - Always keep your finger away from the trigger and away from the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
