eyes may cause permanent injury or death.
• Keep the marker in safe mode until ready to shoot (see page 4).
• Keep the barrel blocking device installed on marker when not shooting (see page 2).
• Never point the marker at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never fire your marker at anything you do not intend to shoot because there may
be balls or foreign debris lodged in the chamber, barrel and / or the marker valve.
• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Never fire your marker at personal property of others. The paintball impact can
cause damage and the paint can stain the finish of automobiles, houses etc.
• Always keep the muzzle pointed down or in a safe direction, even if you stumble or
fall.
• Eye, face and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs in the form of
goggles and full face mask meeting ASTM Specification F 1776 must be worn by
the user and any person within range.
• Never shoot at a person who is not protected by eye, face and ear protection
designed for paintball.

supply cartridge/cylinder or if the marker or air supply is leaking. Compressed air,
CO , and nitrogen gasses are very cold and can cause frostbite under certain
2
conditions.

markers while under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a criminal disregard for

any questions.
• Read the Air Supply Cylinder Removal and SAFETY TIPS on pages 22-24 before
