WHAT IS A JAM, AND WHY DOES IT
HAPPEN?

A jammed gun is one that does not fire a BB when it is

loaded, cocked and the trigger is pulled. It is a dangerous
condition which must have immediate and careful attention.
Jamming can result from:

1. Improper feeding–turning the gun on its side as the muzzle

is raised to feed a BB into firing position.

2. Reusing shot which has been damaged by hitting a hard

surface.

3. Using ammunition not intended for BB gun use.
4. Using dirty shot.

If you follow the instructions for proper loading and feed-

ing, and if you only use recommended shot, your Daisy will
provide many hours of trouble free, recreational air gun
shooting.

CAUTION:

If the gun does not fire after loading,

cocking, feeding and squeezing the trigger, the gun is
jammed. This is a dangerous condition which must have
immediate and careful attention. To correct it, keep the gun
pointed in a safe direction, cocking and firing the gun three or
four times. If you are unable to clear the gun, return it to the
Daisy Service Department. (See Repair of Daisy Guns section.)

UNLOADING

WARNING:

EVEN IF YOU HAVE FIRED THE AIR-

GUN ONE OR MORE TIMES AND NO BB WAS EXPELLED, IT
DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE GUN IS EMPTY OF BBs.
CONTINUE TO TREAT THE AIRGUN AS IF IT IS LOADED.

Make certain your gun is not cocked by firing in a safe

direction. Put "On Safe." Then open loading door and pour
BBs out. After BBs have been removed, cock and fire several
times in a safe direction.

PROPER CARE

To operate properly, your Daisy BB gun requires mainte-

nance. Simple oiling and cleaning are sufficient. Lack of
maintenance can cause poor performance and could make
the gun unsafe.

OILING: To maintain top shooting performance, you

should add two drops of oil in the "oil" hole (See Drawing
No. 1) every 500 to 1000 shots. Also oil trigger, cocking
mechanism and other moving parts regularly. Use a "20"
weight motor oil. Do not use light weight household-type oils.

CLEANING: The exterior can be cleaned by wiping with a

soft clean cloth. The screws and sights are a gun blue finish
and should be wiped with an oiled cloth to prevent rust.

STORAGE

Unload BBs and store them in a separate place to keep

them from untrained shooters. Before putting gun away in a
cabinet or gun rack, make sure it is clean, dry, oiled,
unloaded, and uncocked.

Step 5. TAKE "OFF" TRIGGER SAFETY

When you are certain that the target, backstop and

surrounding area are safe, push the trigger safety from right to
left until red band is exposed.

CAUTION:

Keep gun pointed in a safe direction.

Step 6. FIRE

After completing the operation steps, your gun may be

fired by gently, but firmly, squeezing the trigger.

NOTE: A good rifleman squeezes his trigger when on

target, he does not jerk or pull the trigger.

CAUTION:

Never carry a cocked gun. Cock it only

when ready to fire. Even with the manual safety "ON" SAFE,
your gun is in a fully loaded condition and must be handled with
care.
