Step 3. PUMP
The bolt must be opened to pump gun. For greater safety,
we recommend that the bolt remain open while pumping and
that you close the bolt only when the barrel can be pointed in
a safe direction. With the muzzle pointed in a safe direction,
pump the gun the desired number of times up to 10. More
power means greater chance of serious injury. Never put fin-
ger on trigger until ready to fire the gun. NOTE: Do not pump
your gun more than 10 times. Muzzle energy increases pro-
duced by more than 10 pumps are minor, and increased
pumping will damage your gun.
CAUTION: Be sure to grasp pump handle firmly as
you close the lever to prevent it from snapping back and
causing possible injury. Also be careful to keep fingers out of
cocking mechanism when closing lever. (See “PINCH
POINTS,” Drawing No. 2).
WARNING: Do not open the bolt, close the bolt, and
then pull the trigger before pumping. This procedure can result
in a loaded gun and a projectile being expelled from the gun
during pumping. Recock the gun by opening the bolt and put
“on” trigger safety before pumping as in Steps 1 and 2.

Filling the BB magazine for the PowerLine® 880, 880S, 1880:
The loading door is located on the left side of receiver (See
Drawing No. 3). Push door down and fill magazine with
approximately 50 BBs. Do not overfill or the feed system may
not operate properly.
Step 4. LOAD (PowerLine ® 880, 880S, 1880)
LOADING BBs: With the bolt handle back and BBs in the
magazine (See “BB MAGAZINE” section), RAISE the muzzle of
the gun 45 degrees to 90 degrees. When raising the muzzle,
be sure the front sight is pointed upward since the gun may
not feed properly if it is on its side (See Drawing No. 4A). A
BB can be seen on the magnetic tip by looking into the load-
ing port (See Drawing No. 4A). If a BB does not feed onto the
magnetic tip when the muzzle is raised, shake the gun slightly.
Push bolt handle fully forward and the BB is in firing position.
Be sure the front sight is pointed upward when raising the
muzzle to insure proper feeding.
CAUTION: Always view the BB or Pellet when closing
the bolt and loading port.
WARNING: BBs feed from the magazine by gravity
which requires that the muzzle be raised. NEVER ASSUME
THE MAGAZINE OR CHAMBER IS EMPTY even if the gun
does not fire a projectile.
LOADING PELLETS: With the bolt back and BBs removed
from the magazine (See “TO EMPTY MAGAZINE,” Page 7),
advance the bolt forward until the magnetic tip is visibly even
with the rear edge of the pellet loading port; lower the muzzle
and load a pellet, solid end forward (See Drawing No. 5). Push
the bolt handle fully forward and the pellet is chambered in
the firing position.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow a pellet to fall into the rear of the
loading port and become jammed in the BB feed hole. If this
occurs, have a qualified gunsmith remove the left receiver and
clear the loading port or return gun to Daisy.
IMPORTANT: Care must be exercised when shooting pel-
lets while the magazine contains BBs. Loading a BB and pel-
let at the same time may result in a jammed or obstructed
barrel.
