10 SHOOTING SAFETY RULES
FAILURE TO FOLLOW
WARNING: THESE RULES CAN RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
1
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
There are several safe “carries” depending on the situation. NEVER ALLOW THE MUZZLE TO POINT IN THE DIRECTION OF A PERSON.
2
Treat every gun as if it were loaded.
You can never be positive that you were the last person to handle the gun. Never take anyone’s word about whether or not a gun is loaded. Always check a gun to see if it is loaded when removed from storage or received from another person. Even if you have fired an airgun one or more times and no pellet or BB was expelled from the barrel, it does not mean that the magazine of the gun is empty of ammunition. Any airgun can fail to feed for any number of reasons. Continue to treat the airgun as loaded and ready to fire. ALWAYS TREAT A GUN AS IF IT IS LOADED EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT ISN’T.
3
Only load or cock a gun when you are shooting.
A loaded gun has no place in your home or other public place.
4
Check your target and beyond your target.
Be sure all persons are well clear
of the target area before you shoot. Check behind and beyond your target to be certain you have a safe backstop and that no person or property could be endangered.
5
Anyone shooting or near a shooter should wear shooting glasses.
Also, all other persons should remain behind the shooter.
6
Never climb or jump with a gun.
You can’t control the direction of the muzzle if you stumble or fall. You should safely lay the gun down or hand it to a companion while you climb or jump over anything.
7
Avoid ricochet.
Never shoot at a flat hard surface or at the surface of water. Ammunition can ricochet off of water just like a skipped rock.
8
Keep the muzzle clear.
Never let anything obstruct the muzzle of a gun. Don’t allow the muzzle to come in contact with the ground.
9
Guns not in use should always be unloaded.
Keeping guns unloaded when not in use is critical to the safety of you and others. When you are finished shooting, put the trigger safety in the “on” position and unload the gun. Store guns so that they are inaccessible to untrained shooters and store ammunition separately from the gun.
10
Respect other people’s property.
Whether you’re target shooting or hunting, if you’re a guest on others’ land, you should leave it exactly as you found it.

WARNING: THIS GUN CAN CAUSE DEATH. READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. DO NOT LOAD A BB OR PELLET INTO THE CHAMBER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. IF YOU DO LOAD A BB OR PELLET AND DECIDE NOT TO SHOOT, REMOVE EITHER MANUALLY OR BY SHOOTING IT IN A SAFE DIRECTION. AN UNCOCKED, UNLOADED GUN IS SAFEST. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FAST, AND ACCIDENTALLY INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE IS A TERRIBLE THING. 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.
This air gun shoots with much more power than the traditional spring air BB gun. More power means greater chance of serious injury or death.
We recommend the following number of pumps for different shooting conditions.
•For indoor shooting, 2 pumps
•For 10-meter (33-ft.) distance, 4 to 6 pumps.
•For longer distances, 7 to 10 pumps.
NOTE: Never pump more than 10 times. Over pumping will cause serious damage to the gun.
Although your new PowerLine® Air Rifle is not a firearm, it has lethal potential and should be treated with the caution and respect due any conventional firearm. Like a firearm, your PowerLine® Air Rifle, when misused or carelessly used, can kill or seriously injure the shooter or other persons.
Always remember, the first and most important safety aspect 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 several times through the operating steps with your gun (dry fire the gun at a safe target) so that you will be able to operate the PowerLine® Air Rifle properly and safely.

HOW TO OPERATE
CAUTION: Be sure gun is always pointed in a safe
direction
Step 1. OPEN BOLT
Step 2. PUT “ON” TRIGGER SAFETY Step 3. PUMP
Step 4. LOAD
Step 5. CLOSE BOLT
Step 6. AIM AT SAFE TARGET
Step 7. TAKE “OFF” TRIGGER SAFETY Step 8. FIRE
Step 1. OPEN BOLT
Pull straight back on bolt handle, pulling it fully to the rear (See Drawing No. 1A). The gun cannot fire with bolt open.
Step 2. PUT “ON” TRIGGER SAFETY
The bolt must FIRST be opened, then the trigger safety is pushed from the left to right so that NO red is showing (See Drawing No. 1B).
CAUTION: Gun must always be pointed in a safe direction.

Step 3. PUMP
The bolt must be opened to pump gun. For greater safety, we recommend that the bolt remain open while pumping and that you close the bolt only when the barrel can be pointed in a safe direction. With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, pump the gun the desired number of times up to 10. More power means greater chance of serious injury. Never put finger on trigger until ready to fire the gun. NOTE: Do not pump your gun more than 10 times. Muzzle energy increases produced by more than 10 pumps are minor, and increased pumping will damage your gun.
CAUTION: Be sure to grasp pump handle firmly as you close the lever to prevent it from snapping back and causing possible injury. Also be careful to keep fingers out of cocking mechanism when closing lever. (See “PINCH POINTS,” Drawing No. 2).
WARNING: Do not open the bolt, close the bolt, and then pull the trigger before pumping. This procedure can result in a loaded gun and a projectile being expelled from the gun during pumping. Recock the gun by opening the bolt and put “on” trigger safety before pumping as in Steps 1 and 2.

Filling the BB magazine for the PowerLine® 880, 880S, 1880:
The loading door is located on the left side of receiver (See Drawing No. 3). Push door down and fill magazine with approximately 50 BBs. Do not overfill or the feed system may not operate properly.
Step 4. LOAD (PowerLine® 880, 880S, 1880)
LOADING BBs: With the bolt handle back and BBs in the magazine (See “BB MAGAZINE” section), RAISE the muzzle of the gun 45 degrees to 90 degrees. When raising the muzzle, be sure the front sight is pointed upward since the gun may not feed properly if it is on its side (See Drawing No. 4A). A BB can be seen on the magnetic tip by looking into the loading port (See Drawing No. 4A). If a BB does not feed onto the magnetic tip when the muzzle is raised, shake the gun slightly. Push bolt handle fully forward and the BB is in firing position. Be sure the front sight is pointed upward when raising the muzzle to insure proper feeding.
CAUTION: Always view the BB or Pellet when closing the bolt and loading port.
WARNING: BBs feed from the magazine by gravity which requires that the muzzle be raised. NEVER ASSUME THE MAGAZINE OR CHAMBER IS EMPTY even if the gun does not fire a projectile.
LOADING PELLETS: With the bolt back and BBs removed from the magazine (See “TO EMPTY MAGAZINE,” Page 7), advance the bolt forward until the magnetic tip is visibly even with the rear edge of the pellet loading port; lower the muzzle and load a pellet, solid end forward (See Drawing No. 5). Push the bolt handle fully forward and the pellet is chambered in the firing position.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow a pellet to fall into the rear of the loading port and become jammed in the BB feed hole. If this occurs, have a qualified gunsmith remove the left receiver and clear the loading port or return gun to Daisy.
IMPORTANT: Care must be exercised when shooting pellets while the magazine contains BBs. Loading a BB and pellet at the same time may result in a jammed or obstructed barrel.
