10 LIFE SAVING WARNINGS:

1. Thinking the air rifle is unloaded does not mean it is unloaded. If a pellet is
in the chamber and the rifle has been cocked, this rifle can be fired. Always
treat your air rifle as if it is loaded.

2. Always point the muzzle of any air rifle in a safe direction whether the rifle is
loaded or unloaded...

3. No hands over the muzzle / no way / no time / no how.

4. Only use lead .177 pellets manufactured to industry standards. If the pellet

doesn’t feed into the chamber, don’t force it - there is a reason - determine the
reason before continuing.

5. Never alter your air rifle or allow anyone not connected with or authorized to
represent the manufacturer to modify, change, or adjust any of the working
parts of your air rifle.

6. Learn to regularly clean and inspect your air rifle.

7. Wear eye protection whenever you shoot your rifle or when around others

using air rifles. You only get one set of eyes .

8. This air rifle is extremely powerful and is not designed for the beginner. This
class of air rifle is intended for use by experienced adult shooters.

9. Your air rifle can not think. You must be alert and thoughtful at all times to insure
your safety and the safety of the people and property near you... no drugs...no
drinking... no horse play... never shoot a pellet at water or a hard surface...

SAFETY WARNING:

Do not cock the cocking leaver more than once per trigger pull.

The reason for this warning is so that you do not load

more than one pellet in the barrel bore at a time.

Make sure after you have cocked the cocking handle fully that you return it to
it’s resting position and lock it in place, failure to lock the handle could cause
a problem if the trigger was pulled and the cocking handle was not locked in
place, the cocking handle could swing rapidly forward when the trigger is pulled.

HEALTH WARNING:

This air rifle fires lead pellets. Lead and lead compounds are known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects and reproductive toxicity.
Discharging, handling or cleaning an air rifle may result in lead exposure. Have
adequate ventilation at all times. Do not put lead pellets in your mouth. Wash
hands thoroughly after exposure.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This is a spring-piston air rifle. It is powered by a powerful spring in the receiver
which acts as a piston compressing air in a chamber located behind the
breech. The air is not compressed until the air rifle is fired. Cocking the air rifle
compresses the spring piston and should only be done prior to firing. Avoid
leaving the spring-piston under full compression for extended periods.
