Before initial use of the ANGEL, it is necessary to give the power pack a full charging cycle of 4 hours prior to use as this will ensure a long life for the power pack.

Subsequent charges will be in the region of 3 hours for a full charge, the electronics will control the charging cycle and ensure that your battery is fully charged.

The ANGEL may be left charging for prolonged periods without damage occurring to the battery pack.

· A full charge will give sufﬁcient power for approximately 150,000 consecutive shots.

· A 1-hour charge at 12.5V DC will give sufﬁcient power for approximately 40,000 consecutive shots.

The ANGEL will continue to use power whilst it is switched ON.

AND ALL OTHER SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES

To save the charge the isolator switch must be switched OFF to isolate the battery.

We recommend the isolating switch be placed in the OFF position when the ANGEL is in storage, transit or not in use.

· Insert cigar lighter adaptor into a negative earth socket as found in most motor vehicles (red light on charger will illuminate to indicate that power is present).

· Insert remote plug from charger into the socket on the rear of the ANGEL. The socket is located on the rear of the grip frame under a rubber protection grommet.

· Ensure the isolator switch is in the ON position at the rear panel of the ANGEL. See SWITCHING ON YOUR ANGEL - right.

· The LED on the ANGEL display will indicate the status of the charging cycle, the bar graph segments on the display will cascade to indicate charge is being taken.

· When a full charge has been taken the bar graph segments will remain illuminated for a short period of time then a single green LED will be illuminated.

· Removal of the charger before a full charge cycle has been completed will result in a short charge.

· Unplug the charger from the ANGEL and replace the rubber grommet cover on the rear of the grip frame to prevent the entry of dirt or debris.

IMPORTANT NOTES: For Battery Charging

OPTO BOARD

ADHERE STRICTLY TO THESE

 WARNING

· Do not attempt to modify the OPTO™ board assembly in any way as this will invalidate your warranty and could lead to safety concerns.

The ANGEL incorporates the OPTO™ board. This is the latest development in trigger sensing function. It achieves unsurpassed advancements in trigger repeatability and sensitivity, its non-mechanical switching results in faster, shorter and lighter trigger strokes that give the user higher prolonged achievable rates of ﬁre.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

· When accessing the Internal Tournament LED menus the OPTO™ board should not be exposed to direct sunlight or strong external sources of light without the grip cheek ﬁtted as this light will induce a safety feature, that will prevent the ANGEL from ﬁring whilst it remains exposed to the strong external light.

· The OPTO™ board is a non-mechanical switch that is silent in its operation and no audible click is present.

AND ALL OTHER SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES

LOADERS (HOPPERS)

The ANGEL has been designed to work with all existing loaders and intelligently self adjusts its program to suit the loaders feed rates for the type of loader selected from the Menu - see page 7, but there are some important things to remember about loaders:

· The Angel Eyes system will shoot paint as fast as your loader is capable of feeding in combination with trigger pulls.

· Some loaders, particularly those with a reﬂective eye system DO NOT correctly

sense twin skin, marbleized or dark coloured paintballs, and as such, these loaders are capable of breaking or cracking paintballs before they are even loaded into the ANGEL.

· All loaders should only be used with fresh batteries.

· It is also essential that the loader and its optical system is kept clean at all

times.

· Force fed loaders, due to the nature of their design are less tolerant of fragile

and poor quality paint, causing breaks in the loader, and feed stack before they are loaded into the ANGEL.

· Some loaders are not capable of sustained feed rates and you will be able to

outshoot the loader, causing the Angel Eyes to wait for veriﬁcation of a paintball before commencing the ﬁring cycle.

· Poorly maintained or damaged loaders will impair the performance capability

of the ANGEL.

· To maximise the performance of the ANGEL, WDP recommends only using reliable enhanced feed loaders.

SOFT NOSE

ADHERE STRICTLY TO THESE

 WARNING

· Do not ﬁre the ANGEL with the breech open or without the bolt in the breech, as high pressure gas will be emitted.

· Do not ﬁre the ANGEL with the pull knob in the unlocked position.

AND ALL OTHER SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES

BOLT REMOVAL & ROTOR BREECH

The bolt is manufactured from aluminium and plastic with the wear surfaces being plastic, this is to ensure – due to its high operating speeds – it does not seize within the body. Eventually this will show signs of wear dependent on usage and its environment of use.

It is important that the bolt is kept clean and free of dirt or grit as this will cause accelerated wear. We recommend that you clean your bolt after each day of play.

· Ensure the ANGEL isolator switch is in the OFF position or the ANGEL is in SAFE mode.

· Pull the Pull knob 1 and rotate 90 degrees 2 so that the knob remains in the unlocked position.

· Swing out the Rotor Breech block 3 so that the bolt is exposed. The breech will not open if the bolt is in the forward position. Ensure it is retracted by either: momentarily gassing the ANGEL or pushing the bolt back with a squeegee.

· Extract the bolt 4 by pulling rearwards.

· To replace the bolt follow the stages in reverse order.
