Projectile Launcher Setup
When using the Projectile Catcher Accessory with a
PASCO ME-6800 or ME-6801 Projectile Launcher,
follow these operation guidelines:
1. Please read the General Operations section of the
Projectile Launcher Manual before using the Pro-
jectile Launcher with the Projectile Catcher Acces-
sory or any other accessory.
Safety goggles are supplied with the Projectile
Launcher and must be worn when operating the
apparatus.
2. The base of the Projectile Launcher must be
clamped to a sturdy table using the clamp of your
choice. When clamping to the table, it is desirable
to have the label side of the launcher even with
one edge of the table so a plumb bob can be used
to locate the position of the muzzle with respect to
the floor.

3. Mount the Projectile Launcher in a horizontal po-
sition, using the two lower slots in the Projectile
Launcher base, as shown in Figure 1.
4. Establish the height at which the Projectile
Launcher should be fired and tighten the thumb-
screws as required.
WARNING: Never look down the
front of the barrel of the Projectile
Launcher because it may be loaded.
To check to see if the ball is in the barrel and
whether the Projectile Launcher is cocked, look
at the slots in the side of the barrel. The yellow
indicator seen through the slot indicates the
position of the piston and the ball can be seen
through these slots when it is in the piston.
Wear safety goggles for eye protection.
