STEP 4. LOAD
LOADING BBs: To load a BB from the magazine, raise the
muzzle 45 degrees to 60 degrees and pull the bolt handle
fully to the rear. (Fig. 5) A BB is gravity fed onto the magnetic
tip of the bolt (Fig. 5) When raising the muzzle, be sure the
front sight is
pointed
upward,
because the
gun will not
feed properly
if it is on its
side.
(Fig. 6) The
BB can be
seen on the
magnetic tip
(after the bolt
handle is
released) by
looking into
the feed track.
If a BB did not
feed onto the
magnetic tip,
shake the gun
slightly and
repeat the
“LOADING
BBs” instruc-
tions.
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 BBs removed
from the magazine
(See “EMPTY BB
MAGAZINE, Page 5),
lower muzzle slightly
and pull bolt handle
rearward. Then place
a pellet (solid end for-
ward) in feed track.
(Fig. 7)
IMPORTANT: Care
must be exercised when shooting pellets while the magazine
contains BBs. Loading a BB and pellet at the same time may
result in a jammed or obstructed barrel.
IMPORTANT: Do not allow a pellet to fall into the rear of
the feed track and become jammed in the BB feed hole. If
this occurs, have a qualified gunsmith remove the left receiver
and clear the feed track, or return the gun to Daisy. DO NOT
load pellets in the BB loading door.
STEP 5. CLOSE BOLT
CAUTION: Gun must always be pointed in a safe
direction.
Push bolt handle forward. The gun is now loaded and should
be handled with care.
CAUTION: Always view the BB or pellet when clos-
ing the bolt and loading port.
STEP 6. AIM AT SAFE TARGET
CAUTION: Pick targets that cannot be penetrated
and that will not cause a ricochet because of their hard sur-
face. Do not shoot at water. Never point a gun, loaded or
unloaded, at anyone.
To be a consistent marksman, use the correct sight picture
each time you fire the gun. (Fig. 8)

ADJUSTMENT
Your 845 Target BB
gun is equipped with a
hooded front sight with
four interchangeable
inserts, and a precision
rear peep sight. (See
instructions packed
with the sight.)
You will have to
experiment with the
interchangeable front
inserts to determine
which is best for you.
The Model 840/841 is equipped with a rear sight that is
adjustable for elevation. Raise the rear sight to make the gun
shoot higher. Lower the rear sight to make the gun shoot
lower. (Fig. 9 & 10)
STEP 7. TAKE “OFF”
TRIGGER SAFETY
When you are certain the target,
backstop and surrounding area is
safe, push the trigger safety from
right to left until red band is
exposed. (Fig. 11)
STEP 8. FIRE
After completing the operation
steps, your gun may be fired by gently, but firmly, squeezing
the trigger. NOTE: The bolt must be completely closed, as
indicated in Step 5. IMPORTANT: Do not leave the gun
pumped up for more than one hour or damage to the gun
could result.
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. Keep gun pointed in a safe direction and
repeat all operation steps except Step 4. If a projectile still
does not fire, do the following:
1. Put the trigger safety “ON SAFE” (no red showing).
2. Open bolt.
3. Clear barrel by running a cleaning rod through from the
muzzle end. Be careful not to damage the bolt tip by push-
ing the rod through too hard. Do not reuse this BB or pellet.
4. Repeat operation steps.
If after following the firing procedure the BB or pellet still
does not fire, your gun should be returned to the factory (See
“Repair of Daisy Guns” section).
EMPTY BB MAGAZINE
Put “ON” trigger safety. Open BB loading door, cup your
hand under it and turn gun fully to its left side. Shake gun until
all BBs are removed. To make sure no BBs remain in the feed
system, raise the muzzle, shake gun, and work the bolt for-
ward and all the way back several times, removing any BBs
that appear.
CAUTION: Never assume the gun is empty of projec-
tiles. Always point the gun in a safe direction.
