•
Keep the barrel blocking device installed on marker when not shooting (page 4).
•
Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
•
Never fire your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may be
balls or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel, and/or the marker valve.
•
Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
•
Never fire your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can
cause damage and the paint can stain the finish of automobiles, houses, etc.
•
Always keep the muzzle pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or
fall.
•
Eye, face, and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs in the form of
goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specification F 1776 must be worn by the
user and any person within range.
•
Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face, and ear protection
designed for paintball.
•
Pressurize and load the marker only when the marker will be immediately used.
•
Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place.
NOTE: Before storing or disassembling, be sure to remove paintballs and air/CO2
supply (see

•
Do not field strip or otherwise disassemble this marker while it is pressurized with
air/CO2 supply.
•
Dress appropriately when playing the game of paintball. Avoid exposing any skin
when playing the game of paintball. Even a light layer will absorb some of the
impact and protect you from the paintballs.
•
Keep exposed skin away from escaping gas when installing or removing air/CO2
cylinder or if the marker or air/CO2 supply is leaking. Compressed air, CO2, and
nitrogen gasses are very cold and can cause frostbite under certain conditions.
•
Only use .68 caliber paintballs. Never load or fire any foreign objects.
•
Avoid alcoholic beverages before and during the use of this marker. Handling
markers while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for
public safety.
•
Avoid shooting an opponent at point blank, 6 feet or less.
•
Familiarize yourself with instructions listed on air supply cylinder or adapter. Contact
the air supply cylinder or adapter manufacturer with any questions.
•
Read the
Air/CO2 Cylinder Warnings
beginning the cylinder installation or removal.
•
Always measure your marker's velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at
velocities in excess of 300 feet per second (see instructions on page 9).
