LOAD THE TASER CARTRIDGES
WARNING: Never place your hands or fingers in front of the cartridge. When loading and
unloading, always hold the cartridge on the sides or top.
LOADING:
Verify that the safety switch is in the down
(SAFE) position.
Point the device in a safe direction.
Place the cartridge into the front of the
weapon until an audible click is heard.
Verify that the cartridge is secure by
pulling on the sides of the cartridge.
UNLOADING:
Verify that the safety switch is in the down
(SAFE) position.
Point the device in a safe direction.
Depress the tabs on the sides of the
cartridge and remove.
The 15-, 21-, and 25-foot TASER Cartridges are specifically designed so there is no “up” or
“down” position – enabling you to quickly reload one in a stressful situation without worrying
about putting it in upside down. (The 35-foot cartridges must be loaded a specific way. See
the 35-foot TASER Cartridge specifications at www.TASER.com. Specifications are subject to
change without notice.)
AIMING AND PROBE PLACEMENT
All deployments should be in accordance with department SOP.
Normally, aim the laser at the large muscles groups (center of mass) such as the back, torso,
thigh, etc.
Deploying the M26 at the suspect’s back offers several advantages:
Clothing fits tighter.
Surprise factor.
Stronger muscles – even more overwhelming.
Less likelihood of a head, face, throat, or groin exposure.
