oaded. Always check a gun to see if it is loaded when removed

ired an airgun one or more times and no pellet or BB was

xpelled 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

This safety alert symbol indicates important safety mes-

ages in this manual. When you see this symbol, be alert to

s the possibility of personal injury and carefully read the message that follows.

This air gun shoots with much more power than the tradi-

tional spring air BB gun. More power means greater chance of serious injury or death.

lthough your new PowerLine®A

has lethal potential and should be treated with the caution and respect due any conventional firearm. Like a firearm, your PowerLine 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.

MECHANICAL SAFETIES;

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 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 and safely.

Step 1. OPEN BOLT

Pull straight back on bolt handle, pulling it fully to the rear (Figure

Gun must always be pointed in a safe

Step 3. PUMP

The bolt should be opened when pumping the 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 may damage your gun.

CAUTION: Be sure to grasp forearm firmly as you close

it to prevent it from snapping back and causing possible injury. Also be careful to keep fingers out of cocking mechanism when closing forearm. (See “PINCH POINTS,” Figure 4)

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.

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.

Step 4. LOAD

FILLING THE BB MAGAZINE:

The loading door is located on the left side of the receiver (Figure 5). Push the door down and tilt gun with muzzle end down. Fill magazine with approximately 50 BBs. Do not overfill or the feed system may not operate properly.

LOADING BBs:

With the bolt handle back and BBs in the magazine (See “FILLING THE BB MAGAZINE” above), 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 (Figure 6). A BB can be seen on the magnetic tip by looking into the loading port (Figure 7). If a BB does not feed onto the magnetic tip when the muzzle is raised, shake the gun slightly until you see a BB

Aim the gun at a safe target. To be a consistent marksman, use

the correct sight picture each time you fire your gun (Figure 9).

Never point a gun, loaded or unloaded, at anyone.

CAUTION:

caution in selecting a safe target backstop. This gun should not be used with BB gun target backstops. Pick targets that cannot be penetrated or that will not cause ricochet because of their hard surface. Use only targets and traps that are designed for use with high power air guns.
