Daisy PowerLine TargetPro 953 - Manual (Page 2)

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 “Introducing PowerLine® Shooting” section of this book, which starts on page 10, tells
about the rules of shooting safety. READ THIS SECTION. Follow the safety rules and make certain
anyone using your gun has been instructed in proper gun handling and safety. More power means
greater chance of serious injury or death.
This air gun shoots with up to ten times as much muzzle energy as the traditional spring air BB
gun. More power means greater chance of serious injury or death. BE SURE TO READ THE
RULES FOR PROPER GUN HANDLING ON PAGE 11.
Although your new PowerLine® Air Rifle 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®
Air Rifle, when misused or carelessly used, can kill or seriously injure the shooter or other persons.
Always remember, the first and most important safety aspect 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
safe –or unsafe. DON’T DEPEND ON MECHANICAL SAFETIES; think ahead and avoid situations
that might lead to accidents.
Guns differ in their operations and you are never ready to fire any gun until you are thoroughly
familiar with it. Read the following operating instructions and WITHOUT LOADING A
PROJECTILE, proceed several times through the operating steps with your gun (dry fire the gun at
a safe target) so that you will be able to operate the PowerLine® 953 properly and safely.

WARNING:
THIS GUN CAN CAUSE DEATH. READ AND FOLLOW THE
INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. DO NOT LOAD A PELLET INTO THE CHAMBER
UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. IF YOU DO LOAD A PELLET AND DECIDE
NOT TO SHOOT, REMOVE EITHER MANUALLY OR BY SHOOTING IT IN A SAFE
DIRECTION. AN UNCOCKED, UNLOADED GUN IS SAFEST. ACCIDENTS HAPPEN
FAST, AND ACCIDENTALLY INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE IS A TERRIBLE
THING. SHOOT SAFELY.
