1. Reviewing Safety
• 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” (see section 2A) 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 .177 caliber (4.5 mm) pellets only in your Model BP1764, use .22 caliber (5.5 mm) pellet only in your
Model BP2264 or use .25 caliber (6.4 mm) pellet only in your Model BP2564. NEVER reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The pellet 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. Use an Authorized Service Station. Using
unauthorized repair centers or modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe and
will void your warranty.
• Store airgun in a secure location.
• Before you store your airgun, remove the clip, make sure there is no pellet in the chamber and make
sure the gun is un- cocked (see section 6).
• Store this airgun charged with air or CO
2
to keep the valves closed against dirt.
• Whenever you store the airgun, make sure it is “ON SAFE” (see section 2A.)
because this airguN has aN adjustable match grade trigger, it could fire WheN dropped or jarred,
With or Without the safety eNgaged.

3. Operating the Safety
A. To Put the Airgun “ON SAFE:”
•Locate the safety in front of the trigger.
•The letters “F” (fire) and “S” (safe) on the bottom of the trigger guard
also indicate the appropriate position of the safety (Fig 2A).
•Push the safety towards the trigger to put the safety on. The safety
is on, and the airgun is “ON SAFE” when the lever is in the rear
position (near the trigger). (Fig. 2B)
Even when the safety is on, you should continue to handle the airgun
safely. Don’t point the gun at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
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
B. To Take the Airgun “OFF SAFE”
Push the safety to the forward position (away from the trigger). When the
airgun is “OFF SAFE” it is ready to be fired after following the instructions
in this manual on how to fill and load. (Fig. 2C)
4. Pressurizing the Airgun
This airgun is designed for use at pressures between 2,000 and 3,000 psi depending on how you, as the user, adjust (tune) the
gun to work.
use oNly compressed air iN this airguN. use No other gasses—iNcludiNg oxygeN, Which caN cause a
fire or explosioN that may result iN serious iNjury or death.
A. Pressurizing (Filling) the Airgun with a Hand Pump
•Be sure to wear eye protection
•Make sure the airgun is unloaded and not cocked. (See section 6
for instructions on unloading and un-cocking.)
•Read all instructions with your hand pump so you are familiar with
its operation. Use only a pump designed for filling a pre-charged
airgun and outfitted with a Foster #12FS quick disconnect fitting.
Do not use a standard air compressor or bicycle pump.
•Put the airgun “ON SAFE” (see section 2A).
•Point the airgun in a SAFE DIRECTION.
•Remove the threaded cap that covers the fill nipple on the airgun
by turning counter-clockwise.
•Connect the quick-disconnect fitting on the hand pump hose to the fill nipple (fig. 3)
•Make certain the bleed valve on the hand pump is fully closed (tighten in a clockwise direction) (fig.4).
•Start pumping and continue until the gauge needles on your pump and on the airgun are between 2000 psi and 3000
psi depending on your desired tune.
•DO NOT fill the airgun to more than 3000 psi. See “Overfill” information section 3C.
discoNNectiNg the fill hose from the airguN Without bleediNg the air first may result iN iNjury from
hose Whip as a result of pressure iN the fill hose.
•Open the bleed screw on the pump base rapidly in a counter-clockwise direction to COMPLETELY bleed the hose. You
must bleed the fill hose COMPLETELY to avoid hose whip from pressure in the fill hose.
•Disconnect the pump from the fill nipple on the gun
•Replace the cap over the fill nipple and tighten. Always keep the fill nipple capped to eliminate the possibility of dirt
entering the check valve.
