IMPORTANT NOTE: Please make sure that the Macro line is trimmed back before re-insertion after it has been removed.

Switching ANGEL eyes on/off

• Ensure that the ANGEL is on (see page 3).

• As default the ANGEL eyes will always be

ON whenever the ANGEL is switched ON.

The ANGEL eyes can be switched off

by pulling and holding the trigger for

2 seconds. The ANGEL’s MROF will drop to its default MROF eyes off setting. It will

ﬁre 1 shot to conﬁrm that the eyes have been switched off and the buzzer will sound once.

The eyes off symbol will be displayed on

the display screen. The LED on the rear of the grip frame will show red.

• To turn the ANGEL eyes back on pull and

hold the trigger again for 2 seconds. The MROF will return to MROF eyes on setting (see page 10 for factory default

setting), the buzzer will sound twice and the eyes on symbol will be displayed on the display screen. The LED on the rear of the grip frame will show blue.

• Should the eyes detect a malfunction

due to a component failure or the eyes becoming dirty they will automatically turn

themselves off and the MROF will revert to its MROF eyes off setting (see page 10

for factory default setting), the display will indicate that the eyes are off and that a ball is not detected.

OPTO board

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

Macro line hose

3 Pull back the collet on the connector

and keep the collet depressed and pull the Macro line hose out of the connector ﬁrmly.

Cut back the Macro line hose cleanly

and squarely.

Push the hose rmly into the Macro line

connector to re-attach.

READ ALL WARNINGS BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY WORK ON YOUR ANGEL. SHOULD YOU BE UNSURE AT ANY STAGE YOU MUST SEEK EXPERT ADVICE.

Propellant air/nitrogen supply

The ANGEL is designed to operate on Air/ Nitrogen gas. This needs to be supplied to the ANGEL using a suitable rst stage regulator. The ideal input pressure is 450 psi, but the ANGEL will operate with an input pressure up to 850 psi.

Note: Some preset systems will deliver a higher pressure than their rating. So, if you are using a High Pressure system rated at 850 psi this could lead you to inputting more pressure into the ANGEL than is recommended.

Adjusting or removing the ASA on its mounting rail

The ASA connects to the grip frame of the

ANGEL via an integrated dovetail mounting

rail that allows the user to slide the ASA body along the rail to ﬁne tune the mounting position or remove the ASA completely.

The ASA body is locked down onto the rail via two set screws located within a central recess at the front and back of the integrated rail.

Installing an air/nitrogen system

Each ANGEL comes complete with a centrally ported on/off ANGEL ASA allowing for the easy connection of a preset air/nitrogen

system for immediate use.

6 Before installing your preset system into

the ASA always ensure that the on/off adjuster knob is wound out approximately

halfway. Be careful not to unscrew the

ASA on/off adjuster knob too far as it

is possible to completely disassemble the ASA.

7 To install your air or nitrogen system

screw your tank and regulator onto the ASA and tighten.

and guidelines given with any ﬁrst stage

regulator you use with the ANGEL.

Use compressed air/nitrogen gas only

DO NOT USE CO2.

Only use a paintball regulator that has

been designed for air or nitrogen gas.

Do not exceed 850 psi (58bar) input

pressure to the ANGEL.

Take suitable precautions when using

sharp cutting instruments.

The Macro Line hose must be cut back

cleanly and square prior to attachment or re-attachment to ensure secure ﬁtment.

Bolt removal

The ANGEL’s bolt includes 2 gas ports that

direct a small proportion of air onto the

lenses of the ANGEL eye sensors, which

negates the need to clean them as regularly as other high end markers. If you experience a serious breakage in the breech during a

game your ANGEL eyes will switch off and

under most circumstances you will be able to continue ﬁring paint and the gas from the bolt

ports will clean your ANGEL eyes. You can

then switch them back on by holding down

the trigger for 2 seconds.

Note: It is important that the bolt is kept clean and free from dirt or grit and that it is run dry with no lubricant. We recommend that you clean your bolt after each day of use.

Turn the breech release knob clockwise

about a quarter of a turn.

Lift and rotate the breech block as

illustrated. Using the bolt pin slide the bolt from the breech.

Note: If the breech will not open it may be the case that the bolt is in the forward position. To check this look down the feed tube. If you can see the bolt, the breech will not open. Push the bolt back into the marker as far as it will go - the breech should now open.

Note: To replace the bolt reverse these instructions.

Note that the bolt pin must locate in

the correct place to enable the breech to close.

CAUTION: The ANGEL must not be red

without a bolt present. This can result in

damage to your ANGEL. Any damage caused

from failure to follow these instructions is not

covered by your ANGEL warranty.
