General Operation of the Projectile Launcher
Parts
Ready
• Always wear safety goggles when you are in a room where a Projectile
Launcher is being used.
• The base of the Projectile Launcher must be firmly clamped to a sturdy
table or other surface. When clamping to a table, sometimes it is conve-
nient to have the muzzle end of the Launcher even with an edge of the
table so a plumb bob can be used to locate the position of the muzzle
with respect to the floor.
• The Projectile Launchers mounted on its base using the hole and curved
slot near the top of the base when you want to adjust the Launcher’s
launch angle. The Launcher can be mounted to the lower two slots in the
base if you intend to shoot horizontally, such as into a Projectile
Catcher.
Aim
• The angle of inclination above the horizontal is adjusted by loosening the two thumbscrews and rotating the
Launcher barrel to the desired angle. Use the plumb bob and the protractor on the label to select the angle.
Tighten both thumbscrews when the angle is set.
