Instruction Manual

READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL COMPLETELY. This airgun is not a toy. Treat it with the same respect you would a ﬁrearm. Always carefully follow the safety directions found in this instruction manual and keep this manual in a safe place for future use.

NOT A TOY. ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED. MISUSE OR CARELESS USE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. MAY BE DANGEROUS UP TO 224 YARDS (205 METERS).

This is a high powered airgun intended for use by those 16 years of age or older. Read all instructions before using. The purchaser and user should conform to all laws governing use and ownership of airguns.

LEAD AIRGUN AMMUNITION CONTAINS A CHEMICAL KNOWN TO THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO CAUSE CANCER AND BIRTH DEFECTS (OR OTHER REPRODUCTIVE HARM). DO NOT INHALE DUST OR PUT PELLETS IN MOUTH. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING.

• Do not install a magazine which contains ammunition into the gun until you are ready to shoot. If you do install a magazine which contains ammunition into the gun and then decide not to shoot, either manually remove the magazine from the gun or shoot the remaining ammunition at a safe target.

• An unloaded, non-pressurized gun with an “ACTIVATED” safety is safest.

• Accidents happen fast, and accidentally injuring or killing someone is a terrible thing. Please shoot safety.

• Whenever you handle a GAMO pistol, make sure the safety is “ACTIVATED” and there is no ammunition in the magazine.

• Always use eye protection.

• Always use hearing protection.

• Think rst, shoot second.

• Always point the gun in a safe direction. Never point your air pistol at people or animals even if it is not loaded.

• Always keep your ngers away from the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

• Always be certain of what is behind your target. Make sure your target does not conceal a person or some object which could be harmed by the pellets.

• Do not shoot at targets which allow ricochets or deections.

• Do not shoot into or at water.

• Never use drugs or alcohol while handling this product.

• The air pistol and pellets should be kept in separate and secured places.

• Do not walk, run, jump or climb when carrying a loaded air pistol. A loaded air pistol should never be carried inside a vehicle.

• Never modify or alter your GAMO air pistol. Modication of the pistol may cause it to malfunction and tampering with the gun may make it unsafe.

DO NOT BRANDISH OR DISPLAY THIS AIRGUN IN PUBLIC. IT MAY CONFUSE PEOPLE AND MAY BE A CRIME. POLICE AND OTHERS MAY THINK THIS AIRGUN IS A FIREARM. DO NOT CHANGE THE COLORATION AND MARKINGS TO MAKE IT LOOK MORE LIKE A FIREARM. THAT IS DANGEROUS AND MAY BE A CRIME.

Use only 12 gram CO2 cylinders. Any attempt to use others types of gas cylinders could be extremely dangerous and could result in serious injury or death. Gases other than CO2 could result in an explosion or rupture the airgun.

Keep hands and face away from the CO2 cylinder. Escaping CO2 gas can cause frostbite if allowed to come in contact with skin.

SAFETY RULES:

If you are not going to use the pistol for a long period of time, we recommend removing the CO2 bottle.

When replacing the CO2 bottle, it is possible that some residual gas is left. In order to avoid accidents, make sure that the pistol is unloaded and the safety is “ACTIVATED” when removing or placing a CO2 bottle. Never use force to insert a CO2 bottle.

Keep the CO2 bottles away from heat and ﬂames. Temperatures over 50º C (120º F) can cause explosion and injury. Never throw a CO2 bottle into a ﬁre.

Always wear eye protection when handling CO2 bottles, since there is a risk of injury to the eyes. Do not remove a CO2 bottle until it is completely empty. Failure to observe this recommendation can result in a dangerous escape of residual gas.

Blowback

It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO2 cylinder, which can impact its proper performance. These conditions include the usage, maintenance and storage at temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoor temperatures (59°F/15°C to 69.8°F/21°C). Another condition may be when the gun is fired rapidly.

1. High temperatures can increase pressure in the CO2 cylinder and also within the gun, leading to higher than standard operating pressure. This excess pressure could cause the gun to malfunction or be permanently damaged. Maximum storage or operation temperature should never exceed 122°F (50°C). This temperature can be reached if you leave the gun under direct sunlight on a bright day. Thus, to ensure proper gun operation, do not expose it to high temperatures or direct sunlight for long periods of time. Otherwise, the CO2 cylinder could overheat and explode, which may could damage the airgun and cause injuries or death to people around it.

2. Fast consecutive shooting may produce a decrease of temperature in the gun, as well as the CO2 cylinder. This could result in lower projectile velocities and may even lower gas pressure enough so that the pistol will not fire. This condition can be especially apparent when shooting in cold weather and can be avoided by allowing more time between shots. This permits the gas to increase in temperature and pressure and produce normal velocities.

3. During rapid fire, the muzzle velocity of each shot will diminish. This can affect shooting accuracy and you will get fewer shots per CO2 cylinder.

4. Care should be exercised to insure that the gun is not shot with a CO2 Cylinder that is low in pressure. Here are some indicators of insufficient pressure:

A) The sound of the shot is not as loud as when the cylinder is full. B) The projectile hits the target, but in a lower position than it would with a

full CO2 cylinder (That is, the shooting speed has dropped).

USE AND HANDLING OF CO2 CYLINDERS:

• Before storing the airgun, make sure the safety is “ACTIVATED”, airgun is

unloaded, and the CO2 is removed.

• CO2 pistols should be stored in such a manner as to protect against

unauthorized use by children and others.

• These products are designed to look, handle and function like pistols. These

products should be stored in such a manner to protect against theft and subsequent misuse.

When preparing to store the pistol, point the barrel at the ground and make sure that the magazine is empty and that there are no pellets in the barrel. In this way you will avoid possible accidents when using the pistol again.

When there is an obstruction in the barrel, never shoot another pellet. Always make sure that the Safety is activated before clearing an obstruction.

NOTE: Always discard defective ammunition. We recommend GAMO ammunition for GAMO CO2 pistols. Never reuse pellets

UNLOADING THE PELLETS:

Keep the air pistol pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION. Remove the magazine. Fire at a SAFE target. Repeat until you are sure the air pistol no longer res ammunition. You may also unload your air pistol by following the directions listed under “Removing Jammed Ammunition”.

REMOVING JAMMED AMMUNITION:

Keep the air pistol pointed in a safe direction. Remove the magazine. Remove the CO2 cylinder. Insert a .177 caliber ramrod into the muzzle end and carefully push the jammed pellet into the breech area and remove. If you are not able to unjam your air pistol, take not further action. Call GAMO at (954) 581-5822 and ask for the customer service department. NOTE: The barrel could be damaged and the warranty will be void if the proper sized ramrod is NOT used.
