User's Manual

SETTING THE
TRIGGER
The Ego8 provides the user with the option to use either a Micro-
Switch or an opto sensor as the means for detecting trigger pulls.
Before you begin to adjust and set your trigger, you must first
select the method of trigger detection that you wish to use by
entering the Set-Up Menu and making your selection from the
Hardware Menu (SEE PAGE 48).
There are four adjustment points on the trigger – the Front Stop
Trigger Screw
, the Rear Stop Trigger Screw, the Magnet Return
Strength Screw
and the Micro Switch Activation Screw.
As standard each Ego8 comes with a factory set trigger travel
of approximately 2mm in total length; one millimeter of travel
before the firing point and one millimeter of travel after the
firing point, and the trigger detection method set to opto.
The Front Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount of trigger
travel prior to the marker firing. Turn this screw clockwise to
reduce the amount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or
the trigger will be pushed past the firing point and the marker
will not work. Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the
amount of trigger travel (SEE FIGURE 7.1).
The Rear Stop Trigger Screw is used to set the amount of travel
after the marker has fired. Turn this screw clockwise to reduce
the amount of travel. Do not turn the screw too far or the trigger
will be prevented from reaching its firing point and the marker
will not work. Turn this screw counter clockwise to increase the
amount of travel (SEE FIGURE 7.2).
