Never point the gun at anyone. Always assume and treat the gun as if it were loaded and ready to fire. Gun may continue to be fired (Steps 5 and 6) until the built-in BB magazine is empty or the CO2 cylinder needs to be replaced. Once the built-in BB magazine is empty, Steps 1,3,4,5,6, and 7 should be followed. If the CO2 cylinder is empty, then all 7 Steps should be followed. (Approximately 150 shots can be expected per CO2 cylinder). MODEL 15XT By CO2 SEMI-AUTOMATIC Step 1. Put "ON" safety - No red showing. Step 2. Insert CO2 Cylinder Step 3. Fill built-in magazine with a maximum of 15 BBs. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. Step 7. Aim at a safe target. Take "OFF" safety - Red showing. Fire. Put "ON" safety - No red showing. NEVER STORE A LOADED GUN At the end of a shooting session, as a safety precaution, always put "ON" safety ­ NO RED SHOWING, remove CO2 cylinder and remove BBs from the built-in Magazine. Store in a safe place to prevent unauthorized use. HOW TO OPERATE WARNING: Be sure gun is always pointed in a safe direction. Never point the gun at anyone. Always assume and treat the gun as if it were loaded and ready to fire. STEP 1. PUT "ON" SAFETY ­ POSITION SAFETY SO NO RED IS SHOWING. Push the safety button to the right toward the "SAFE" position ­ NO RED SHOWING (Fig. 2). In this position, the trigger cannot be pulled to fire the gun. CAUTION: Even when the safety is "ON" you should continue to handle the pistol safely. Don't point the gun at anything that you don't intend to shoot. NOTE: The safety is manual and not automatic. It will only do its job when you do yours. With the index finger out of the trigger area, move the safety to the "SAFE" position-NO RED SHOWING (Fig. 2). REMEMBER, THE BEST SAFETY IS GOOD GUN HANDLING. STEP 2. INSERT CO2 CYLINDER A. Put "ON" safety - NO RED SHOWING. B. Remove left grip cover by lifting the grip cover tab (Fig. 3). C. Turn puncture screw counterclockwise until there is enough room to insert a CO2 cylinder. D. Insert the large end of the CO2 cylinder into the lower portion of the grip. Hold the gun in an inverted position with the grip pointing up and the muzzle pointing away from you as shown (Fig. 4). Position the small end of the CO2 cylinder inside the retainer so that the CO2 cylinder touches the puncture pin (Fig. 4). E. While continuing to hold gun in an inverted position, replace the left grip cover, point the muzzle in a safe direction and turn the puncture screw clockwise to puncture the CO2 cylinder. (Fig. 5) Continue turning the screw RAPIDLY until finger tight. NOTE: A slight seepage of CO2 gas may occur until puncture screw is tight. WARNING: Be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction when puncturing a CO2 cylinder. In the event that a seal temporarily leaks while a CO2 cylinder is being punctured, the CO2 gas may escape through the barrel. If ammunition is jammed in the barrel from prior shooting, this could result in a projectile being shot. WARNING: Use only 12 gram CO2 cylinders. Any attempt to use other types of gas cylinders could be extremely dangerous and could result in serious injury. Gasses other than CO2 could result in an explosion or rupture of the gun. STEP 3. FILL THE BUILT-IN MAGAZINE WITH A MAXIMUM OF 15 BBs A. Always point gun in a safe direction. Insure that the gun is "ON" safe ­ NO RED SHOWING (see Operation Step 1). B. Move the Built-in Magazine BB follower fully forward and hold in position as shown. (Fig. 6-1) NOTE: Make sure the follower is held Fully forward toward the muzzle of the gun and the spring is clear of the loading port before attempting to load BBs. C. Once the Magazine BB follower is held fully forward, a maximum of 15 .177 caliber BBs can be individually inserted into the Magazine Loading Port as shown. (Fig. 6-2) CAUTION: Use only Precision MaxTM BBs by Daisy®, or similar quality BBs that are labeled as such. Do not use lead pellets, buck shot, darts, ball bearings, or other foreign objects because they can cause injury to someone or may damage and/or jam the pistol. D. After the Built-in Magazine has been loaded with a maximum of 15 BBs, slowly release the Built-in Magazine BB follower and allow it to rest up against the BBs. This will allow the BBs to be under spring tension (Fig. 7). WARNING: Once the Built-in Magazine is loaded with BBs it is considered to be loaded, so use extreme caution in handling the gun. Keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Never point the gun at anyone. Always treat the gun as if it were loaded and ready to fire. STEP 4. AIM AT A SAFE TARGET To be a consistent marksman, use the correct sight picture each time you fire the pistol (Fig 8). CAUTION: Due to the power of the Model 15XT, use extra precaution in selecting a safe target. Improper targets may cause ricochet. STEP 5. TAKE "OFF" SAFETY ­ RED SHOWING. When you are certain that the target, back-stop and surrounding area is safe, position the safety "OFF" ­ RED SHOWING (Fig. 9). Pulling the trigger now will fire the gun. STEP 6. FIRE Make sure the gun is pointed at a safe target. Once the last BB has been shot from the gun, it is still possible for the trigger to be pulled, but only CO2 will be discharged. STEP 7. PUT "ON" SAFETY - NO RED SHOWING. After firing, return the safety to the "ON" position ­ NO RED SHOWING (Fig 2). 15XT .177 cal BB (4.5 mm) STEEL AIRGUN SHOT 12gm CO2 cylinder only NOT A TOY.

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. The Model 15XT CO2 PowerLine pistol shoots with much more muzzle energy than most BB and pellet guns. Use extreme caution when operating this gun. Although your new PowerLine pistol 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 pistol, when misused or carelessly used, can kill or seriously injure the shooter or other persons. Always remember, the first and most important safety feature 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 safe­or unsafe. DON'T DEPEND ON MECHANICAL SAFETIES­think ahead and avoid situations that might lead to accidents. Guns differ in their operation, and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are thoroughly familiar with it. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT LOADING ANY AMMUNITION, proceed through the operating steps, dry firing your gun with CO2 only several times at a safe target. This will enable you to learn to operate the PowerLine 15XT properly and safely.
