be treated with the caution and respect due any conventional firearm. Like a firearm, your
PowerLine pistol, when misused or carelessly used, can kill or seriously injure the shoot­er or other persons.
gun is the shooter.All safeties are mechanical devices and the shooter is the only part of
the system that can make a gun safe–or unsafe. DON’T DEPEND ON MECHANICAL
SAFETIES–think ahead and avoid situations that might lead to accidents.

Guns differ in their operation, and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are thor­oughly familiar with it. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT LOADING
ANY AMMUNITION, proceed through the operating steps, dry firing your gun with CO2 only
several times at a safe target. This will enable you to learn to operate the PowerLine 15XT
