WARNING:
THIS GUN CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. DO NOT LOAD A PELLET INTO
THE GUN UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. IF YOU DO LOAD A PELLET AND
THEN DECIDE NOT TO SHOOT, REMOVE IT EITHER MANUALLY OR BY SHOOTING
THE GUN AT A SAFE TARGET. AN UNLOADED, UNCOCKED GUN IS SAFEST.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FAST, AND ACCIDENTALLY INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE
IS A TERRIBLE THING. PLEASE SHOOT SAFELY.
This safety alert symbol indicates important safety messages in this manual. When
you see this symbol, be alert to the possibility of personal injury and carefully read
the message that follows.
The PowerLine® Model 717 shoots with much more muzzle energy than the traditional
spring powered airgun. More power means greater chance of serious injury. Use extreme
caution when operating this gun.
Although your new Daisy® is not a firearm, it has lethal potential and should be treated
with caution and respect due any conventional firearm. Always remember, the first and
most important safety feature of any 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 operations and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are
thoroughly familiar with it. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT
LOADING A PROJECTILE, proceed through the operating steps (dry firing your gun several times at a safe target). This will enable you to learn to operate the PowerLine®
Model 717 properly and safely.

Step 1. Put “ON SAFE”

handle the pistol safely. Don’t point the gun
at anything that you don’t intend to shoot.
NOTE: The safety is not automatic. It will
only do its job when you do yours. With the
index finger out of the trigger area, move
the safety lever to the “ON SAFE” position.
REMEMBER, THE BEST SAFETY IS
GOOD GUN HANDLING.
Step 2. OPEN BOLT
Lift up and pull straight back on the bolt
handle. The gun cannot fire with the bolt
open. NOTE: BOLT MUST BE OPEN TO
PUMP-UP GUN.
Step 3. PUMP
With the bolt open, pump gun only once.
Any additional pumping will not increase
velocity. Be careful to keep fingers out of
pumping mechanism when closing the
pump lever. (See PINCH POINTS in Fig. 2)
Trigger finger should be extended
against the right side of the gun to
react against lever closing force.
FIG. 3
WARNING: After gun has been
pumped up one, do not attempt to pump
again or open pump lever as the lever
is under pressure and could fly open,
possible causing injury.
Step 4. LOAD
With the bolt open, load one pellet (solid

Push the bolt fully forward, then push bolt handle down. The gun is now ready to fire.
CAUTION: It is very important that the bolt be completely closed. Never close the bolt
while the trigger is being pulled.
If the gun does not fire when the trigger is pulled, open the bolt by pulling the bolt handle
all the way back and put “ON SAFE” immediately, then close the bolt completely and
continue to Step 6.
