2. Operating the Safety
WARNING: BE SURE THE AIRGUN IS ALWAYS POINTED IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. NEVER POINT THE AIRGUN AT ANYONE EVEN IF IT IS UNLOADED.
ALWAYS ASSUME AND HANDLE THE AIRGUN AS IF IT WERE LOADED AND
READY TO FIRE.
CAUTION: Do not pull the trigger with the safety “ON SAFE”. This will load
a projectile into the barrel.
CAUTION: Like all mechanical devices, an airgun safety can fail. Even
when the safety is “ON SAFE”, you should continue to handle the airgun safely.
NEVER point the airgun at any person. NEVER point the airgun at anything you do not
intend to shoot.
Note: Never try to force any CO
2
cylinder into or out of place. Do not store your
air pistol with a CO
2
cylinder in it. If you know you will not be using your air pistol
for an extended period of time, empty the CO
2
cylinder and remove it from the air
pistol. (See Step 3B). This is very important to remember, as it will prolong the
longevity of your air pistol seals.

back of the magazine (Fig. 8).
• Gently release the BB follower tab
• Insert the loaded magazine into the air pistol
• Your gun is now loaded and ready to fire only after
reading the entire manual, including section 7
on reviewing safety.
WARNING: ONCE THE BUILT-IN MAGAZINE IS LOADED WITH A
BB IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE LOADED. USE EXTREME CAUTION
WHEN 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.
CAUTION: Use only .177 caliber steel BBs. Do not attempt to reuse
fired BBs or BBs which are deformed. Do not use lead pellets, buck shot, darts, ball
bearings, or other foreign objects because they can cause injury to you or someone
else or may damage and/or jam the gun. Use of anything other than .177 caliber steel
BBs will void the warranty.
4B. Unloading BBs
• Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (See Step 2A)
• Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION
• Remove the magazine by pressing down on the magazine release lever.
• Pull and hold down the BB follower tab
• Tip the magazine until all the BBs fall out of the hole
• If a BB is still visible in the top of the magazine, push the BB out of the
magazine using a .177 caliber ramrod
• Aim the air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION, take it “OFF SAFE”
(See Step 2B) and fire
• Repeat this procedure several times until you are sure you are no
longer firing BBs
Note: The air pistol must be charged with CO
2
when following these steps but
remember, do not store your air pistol with a CO
2
cylinder in it (See Step 3A).
CAUTION: Even though you go through the unloading procedure,
continue to treat the air pistol as though it were loaded. Do not point at anything you
do not intend to shoot.
CAUTION: The slide blows back, meaning it shifts rearward. Keep hands and
fingers away from pinch points.
4C. Removing a Jammed BB
IMPORTANT: Firing the air pistol with too little gas pressure left may
cause a BB to get stuck in the barrel.
• Make sure the air pistol is “ON SAFE” (See Step 2A).
• Unload all of the BBs (See Step 4B).
• Remove the magazine by pressing down on the magazine release lever.
• Remove the CO
2
cylinder (See Step 3B).
• Insert a .177 caliber ramrod into the muzzle end of the barrel and
carefully push the jammed BB into the breech. The barrel could be
damaged if the proper sized ramrod is not used.
• Hold the air pistol upright and shake until the jammed BB falls out.
• Do not try to reuse that BB. If you are not able to unjam your air pistol
by following this procedure, take no further action. Call Umarex USA
(479)-646-4210 and ask for the service department.
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses to
protect your eyes.
• Always aim your air pistol in a SAFE DIRECTION. When you are sure of
your target and backstop, and the area around the target is clear, cock the
air pistol (See Step 4B) take “OFF SAFE” (See Step 2B) and squeeze the
trigger to fire.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The BB may
bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not
intended to hit.
• Always choose your target carefully. It is best to shoot at paper bullseye
targets, which are attached to a safe backstop. A heavy blanket should be
hung behind the target trap to prevent ricochet should you miss the backstop.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. Re-
place your backstop if the surface is worn or damaged, or if a ricochet occurs.
• Your air pistol is designed for target shooting and is suited for both indoor
and outdoor use. Always remember to place your target carefully. THINK
about what you will hit if you miss the target.
• The air pistol is correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned
exactly in the notch of the rear sight. The top of the front sight blade should
be even with the top of the notch in the rear sight. The bullseye should
appear to rest on the top of the front sight (See Fig. 9).
5. Aiming and Firing Safely
CAUTION: Your backstop should be inspected for wear before and after
each use. Discontinue use if the backstop surface shows signs of failure. Always place
the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail. Discontinue the
use of a backstop if the projectile rebounds or ricochets. NEVER AIM AT PEOPLE,
PETS OR WATER.
WARNING: A CO
2
CYLINDER CONTAINS GAS UNDER PRESSURE,
WHETHER OR NOT IT HAS BEEN INSERTED INTO AN AIRGUN. IF EXPOSED TO
HIGH TEMPERATURES (SUCH AS INSIDE OF A CLOSED CAR AND/OR IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT, IT COULD EXPLODE. STORE ALL CYLINDERS IN A COOL PLACE.
CAUTION: Never attempt to reuse a CO
2
cylinder for any purpose.
It is possible that certain conditions may affect a CO
2
cylinder, which can impact
its proper performance. These conditions include the usage, maintenance and
storage at temperatures that are higher or lower than normal outdoors
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 CO
2
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 CO
2
cylinder could overheat and explode, which 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 CO
2
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 CO
2
cylinder.
4. Care should be exercised to insure that the gun is not shot with a CO
2
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 CO
2
cylinder (that is, the shooting speed has dropped).
6. Use and Handling of CO
2
Cylinders
NOTE: Many factors affect airgun performance and velocity, including brand of
projectile, type of projectile, lubrication, barrel condition and temperature.
• Before you attempt to perform maintenance on your airgun, make sure the
airgun is “ON SAFE” and unloaded, and the CO
2
cylinder has been
removed (See Step 2A and 4B).
• Your air pistol will maintain proper function for a long time if you oil the
slide rails with 1 drop of RWS Spring Cylinder Oil after you have fired
approximately 250 shots.
• DO NOT use a petroleum distillate based oil or solvent and DO NOT
over-oil because this can cause damage to your air pistol.
• Apply 1 to 2 drops of RWS Spring Cylinder Oil onto all other moving parts
such as the BB follower and gas cylinder screw.
• Clean the surface of your CO2 air pistol with a soft cloth and
RWS Spring Cylinder Oil.
• Tampering with the air pistol or attempts to change the air pistol in any way
may make it unsafe to use and will void the warranty.
• If you drop your air pistol, check to see that it works properly before you use
it again. If anything seems changed, like a shorter or weaker trigger pull,
this may mean worn out or broken parts. Call Customer Service at
Umarex USA for assistance before using your air pistol again.
Note: For operation of the Walther Shot Dot, dual setting,
green illuminated point sight, see the manual included with
your purchase or download free from www.UmarexUSA.com.
8. Maintaining Your Airgun
7. Installing and Removing the 4-Sided Mount
• Never point the airgun at any person or at anything you do not
intend to shoot.
• Always treat the airgun as though it is loaded and with the same respect
you would a firearm.
• Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the airgun
pointed in a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep the airgun “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot.
• Always check to see if the airgun is “ON SAFE” and unloaded when
getting it from another person or from storage.
• Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard
until ready to shoot.
• You and others with you should always wear shooting glasses
to protect your eyes.
• If your reading or prescription glasses are not safety glasses make sure
you wear shooting glasses over your regular glasses.
• Use the proper size BB for your airgun.
• Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The BB may
bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not
intended to hit.
• Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use.
All backstops are subject to wear and will eventually fail. Replace your
backstop if the surface is worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airgun. Unauthorized
repairs or modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe
and will void your warranty.
• Before you store your airgun, make sure it is unloaded, the CO
2
cylinder is
removed, and is “ON SAFE.”
9. Reviewing Safety
CAUTION: Before any care, cleaning or maintenance, always be sure your
air pistol is “ON SAFE” and unloaded. It is important to maintain your airgun properly.
