WARNING:
THIS GUN CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. READ AND
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. DO NOT LOAD A PELLET INTO
THE GUN UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. IF YOU DO LOAD A PELLET AND
THEN DECIDE NOT TO SHOOT, REMOVE IT EITHER MANUALLY OR BY SHOOTING
THE GUN AT A SAFE TARGET. AN UNLOADED, UNCOCKED GUN IS SAFEST.
ACCIDENTS HAPPEN FAST, AND ACCIDENTALLY INJURING OR KILLING SOMEONE
IS A TERRIBLE THING. PLEASE SHOOT SAFELY.
TRIGGER
SAFETY
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 PowerLine® Model 717 shoots with much more muzzle energy than the traditional
spring powered airgun. More power means greater chance of serious injury. Use extreme
caution when operating this gun.
Although your new Daisy® is not a firearm, it has lethal potential and should be treated
with caution and respect due any conventional firearm. Always remember, the first and
most important safety feature of any gun is the shooter. All safeties are mechanical devic-
es 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 through the operating steps (dry firing your gun sev-
eral times at a safe target). This will enable you to learn to operate the PowerLine®
Model 717 properly and safely.
