Step 5. CLOSE BOLT
Close bolt by pushing fully forward on bolt handle to cham-
ber either a BB or pellet and lock the bolt.
CAUTION: The gun is now loaded and ready to fire.
Step 6. AIM AT SAFE TARGET
Aim the gun at a safe target. To be a consistent marksman,
use the correct sight picture each time you fire your gun (See
Drawing No. 6). Never point a gun, loaded or unloaded, at
anyone.
CAUTION: Due to the power of this air gun, use
extra caution in selecting a safe target backstop. Select the
proper target and backstop based on the ammunition you are
shooting. BBs should NEVER be shot into a pellet trap. Pick
targets that cannot be penetrated or that will not cause rico-
chet because of their hard surface. Use only targets and traps
that are designed for use with high power air guns. Do not
shoot at water.
Step 7. TAKE “OFF” TRIGGER SAFETY
When you are certain the target, backstop and surrounding
area is safe, take trigger safety “OFF” by pushing from right
to left so that red is exposed. Your gun is now cocked and
ready to shoot. In this condition, it should be handled with
extreme care.
Step 8. FIRE
After making sure the gun is pointed in a safe direction,
gently (but firmly) squeeze the trigger. Repeat Steps 1
through 8 to continue shooting, using the appropriate loading
procedure. NOTE: To fire, bolt must be completely closed as
indicated in Step 5.
CAUTION: Do not leave your gun pumped for an
extended period of time. This could result in a time delay
from the time the trigger is pulled until the projectile is
expelled from the gun. Also, leaving your gun pumped for
more than one hour could result in permanent damage to the
air release valve.
WARNING: If a BB or pellet does not fire after com-
pleting the operation steps, the gun is jammed. This is a dan-
gerous condition.
CLEARING A JAM (POWERLINE ® 880, 880S, 1880)
Open the bolt and put “ON” trigger safety immediately. If
the bolt is not completely closed, do not try to close it until
after opening it by pulling the bolt handle all the way back.
The gun will not fire a projectile when the bolt is completely
open.
Repeat all operations except Step 4 (do not load BB or pel-
let), pumping gun up 10 times. If a projectile still does not fire,
follow these steps carefully:
1. Open bolt.
2. Put trigger safety “ON”.
3. Clear barrel by running a cleaning rod through from the
muzzle end. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by pushing
the rod through too hard. Do not reuse this BB or pellet.

4. Repeat operation steps. Make sure a BB or pellet is fed into
firing position. If after following the firing procedure the projec-
tile is not fired, return your gun to Daisy (See “REPAIR OF
DAISY GUNS” section).
UNLOAD PELLETS: The magnetic tip does not extract a pellet.
You must shoot the pellet out if a safe target is available. If a
safe target is not available, open bolt, put trigger safety “ON”,
insert a cleaning rod in the muzzle end and push the pellet out
of the barrel. Do not allow a pellet to fall into the rear of the
loading port and become jammed in the BB feed hole.
TO EMPTY BB MAGAZINE:
Open bolt and put trigger safety “ON”. Open the BB maga-
zine door, cup your hand over it and tilt the gun fully to the left
side. Shake gun until all BBs are removed. Then remove BBs
from loading port (See Drawing No. 4B).
WARNING: EVEN IF YOU HAVE FIRED THE AIRGUN
ONE OR MORE TIMES AND NO BB WAS EXPELLED, IT
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GUN IS EMPTY OF BBs.
CONTINUE TO TREAT THE AIRGUN AS IF IT IS LOADED.
CLEARING A JAM (POWERLINE ® 22X, 22SG, 22S)
Open the bolt and put “ON” trigger safety immediately. If the
bolt is not completely closed, do not try to close it until after
opening it by pulling the bolt handle all the way back. The gun
will not fire a projectile when the bolt is completely open.
Repeat all operations except Step 4 (do not load a pellet),
pumping gun up 10 times. If a projectile still does not fire, fol-
low these steps carefully:
1. Open bolt.
2. Put trigger safety “ON”.
3. Clear barrel by running a cleaning rod through from the
muzzle end. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by pushing
the rod through too hard. Do not reuse this pellet.
4. Repeat operation steps. Make sure a pellet is fed into firing
position. If after following the firing procedure the projectile is
not fired, return your gun to Daisy (See “REPAIR OF DAISY
GUNS” section).
UNLOAD PELLETS: The bolt tip does not extract a pellet.
You must shoot the pellet out if a safe target is available. If a
safe target is not available, open bolt, put trigger safety “ON”,
insert a cleaning rod in the muzzle end and push the pellet out
of the barrel.
WARNING: Never assume gun is empty of projec-
tiles. Always point the gun in a safe direction.
REAR SIGHT ADJUSTMENT:
Your air gun is equipped with an adjustable rear sight.
HOW TO ADJUST SIGHT RIGHT OR LEFT (WINDAGE):
Loosen screw “A” by turning counterclockwise (See Drawing
No. 7). Move rear sight to the right side of the gun to make it
shoot to the right, or to the left side of the gun to make the
gun shoot to the left. Make certain screw “A” is retightened
after adjustment.
HOW TO ADJUST SIGHT UP OR DOWN (ELEVATION):
Raise the rear sight by moving sight elevator back to make
the gun shoot higher. Lower the rear sight by moving the sight
elevator forward to make the gun shoot lower (See Drawing
No. 8).
