Safety Summary
The following are safety precautions not necessarily related to any specific topic in this manual and therefore they may or may not appear elsewhere in this manual. These are precautions that users must understand and apply whenever operating or maintaining this paintball gun.
DO NOT POINT OR SHOOT THIS PAINTBALL GUN AT ANIMALS. DO NOT POINT OR SHOOT THIS PAINTBALL GUN AT PERSONS NOT ENGAGED IN PLAYING PAINTBALL.
While engaging in paintball, you and your target must wear proper safety gear including goggles, masks and pads.
FOLLOW ALL MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.
Do not attempt to repair this paintball gun by yourself. If you are unsure about any aspect of the maintenance procedures, contact your local dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc. at (708) 520-7507 or Fax (708) 520-7848.
ALWAYS USE THE SAFETY LOCATED BEHIND THE TRIGGER ON THE FRAME WHEN AN AIR SOURCE IS ATTACHED.
This paintball gun is always armed and cocked when an air source is attached. Disengage the safety only when absolutely necessary for play or testing. The safety is off and the paintball gun will fire when the red ring of the safety pin is showing.
ALWAYS CHRONOGRAPH THIS PAINTBALL GUN BEFORE USING. NEVER SHOOT THIS PAINTBALL GUN WHEN THE CHRONOGRAPH READING EXCEEDS 300 FPS. ALWAYS RECHRONOGRAPH THE PAINTBALL GUN IF VENTING OCCURS FROM THE REGULATOR NUT AT THE REAR OF THE PAINTBALL GUN.
The 68AUTOMAG is designed to vent off overpressures that cause unsafe shots, but, it is possible to fire over 300 fps before the overpressure vents off (See Part 2, Para 11.). Liquid CO2 in the paintball gun at a normal pressure also can cause shots over 300 fps (See Part 1, Para 11.). If problems persist after adjusting the velocity, contact your local dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc.
ALWAYS REMOVE THE AIR SOURCE FROM THE PAINTBALL GUN AND DRY FIRE IN A SAFE DIRECTION BEFORE DISASSEMBLING THE PAINTBALL GUN.
The pressures in this paintball gun are dangerous and must be vented before any servicing. Unloading and degassing the paintball gun (See Part 3, Paras 7. & 8.) are required for safety.
DO NOT FIRE A PAINTBALL GUN THAT HAS EXCESSIVE TRIGGER PULL.
The regulator allows gas under pressure to push the trigger forward after shooting. An excessively hard trigger pull shows an overpressure in the system. Contact your local dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc. immediately.
DO NOT PUT YOUR FINGERS INTO THE BREECH AREA OR DOWN THE PAINTBALL FEED TUBE WHILE FIRING THE PAINTBALL GUN.
