Before operating the Airsoft gun, read this manual in its entirety. Important safety topics and tips are discussed throughout all of the chapters. Its important that the operator know the principles of gun handling safety and operation prior to firing the Airsoft gun.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
!
Safety Distance
The effective shooting range is approximately 75 feet. BBs fired from this Airsoft gun may travel further than intended. Make certain that you have an adequate backstop.
Eye Protection
Eye protection should be worn at all times when both shooting and maintaining your Airsoft gun. Protect your eyes from silicone spray and BBs under spring pressure while performing maintenance on your Airsoft gun.
Until you are certain the chamber is empty, treat every gun as if it were loaded. Do not assume the chamber is empty based on your memory or someone elses words. Always remove the magazine and visually check to confirm the chamber is empty.
Ensure the Airsoft gun barrel is free of obstructions before you fire the gun. Even the smallest obstruction such as dirt, dust or a stuck cleaning patch can cause a jam, misfire or malfunction.
Muzzle Control
Always keep the muzzle of the gun pointed in a safe direction. Never point the muzzle at a person or object that you do not intend to shoot.
Keep the guns safety on until your sights are aligned on your target and you are ready to fire.
Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until your sights are aligned on your target and you are ready to fire.
WARNING! Airsoft BBs can be a choking hazard. Keep them away from children.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
Identify Your Target and Backstop
Before you pull the trigger, make certain of your target and what is beyond it. The Airsoft gun should never be fired at surfaces such as rocks, glass, water, or other hard surfaces where BBs are likely to ricochet in unpredictable directions.
!
Failure To Fire
WARNING! Adult supervision is required for any person under the age of 18.
If the Airsoft gun fails to fire, misfires, or malfunctions, do not look into the gun barrel. BBs can become lodged into the chamber, and serious eye injury may occur.
Performing proper maintenance, as outlined in this manual, ensures that your Airsoft gun will be safe to shoot and will perform to its designed specifications for many years. Alterations, modifications or adjustments may damage your Airsoft gun, make it unsafe to shoot, and will void all warranty claims.
Always store the Airsoft gun in a safe place, and out of the reach of children. Always transport the Airsoft gun in a carrying case. Never display the Airsoft gun in a public place. Keep the safety engaged, and remove the magazine before storing the Airsoft gun.

Orange Tip
The orange tip on Airsoft guns helps Law Enforcement distinguish between the replica guns from their real firearm counterparts. Altering the coloration or markings required by state or Federal law so as to make the product look more like a firearm is dangerous and may be a crime. Operator assumes all risks and responsibility when doing so.
Airsoft guns have been mistaken by Police and Law Enforcement as real firearms. A confrontation with law enforcement while carrying an Airsoft gun can result in serious injury or even death. It is strongly advised to operate the Airsoft gun at a safe and legal location. In the event that you are approached by Law Enforcement personnel, you must comply with their instructions immediately to avoid an incident.
Do not handle or operate your Airsoft gun while under the influence of alcohol, medication or drugs.
Your Responsibility
Your Airsoft gun is well-engineered and manufactured to the highest standards. It was carefully inspected before it was packaged and shipped from our factory. Its safe use depends on you alone. You are the ultimate safety device. Like many other devices, your Airsoft gun is safe unless handled in an irresponsible or uneducated manner. 3

CHARGING GAS
1. Release the magazine by pressing the magazine release button. 2. Push the gas canister nozzle into the charging valve. Make sure the canister is in a vertical position when charging. 3. Charge the magazine until gas overflows from the charging valve.
WARNING: Avoid dropping the magazine. Sudden impact with a hard surface may cause damage to the magazine.
Note: It is normal to have minor leaking from the charging valve during charging due to
high pressure built up inside the magazine. It is recommended to keep the gas release valve slightly oiled. Room temperature is the ideal temperature for shooting. You may experience a delayed action if the surrounding temperature drops below 68 F.
Note: Do not expose the magazine to direct sunlight or incinerate the magazine, as this
may cause the magazine to burst. It is strongly recommended to empty the gas from the magazine after shooting. Be certain that the gas does not make contact with eyes or skin while being released, as any contact will cause cold burns.

HOPUP SYSTEM
The Hop-Up device is one of KWAs standard features, giving Airsoft BBs greater stability, further travel and increased accuracy. Airsoft BBs are light-weight and can be affected by wind when fired. With the Hop-Up system, the trajectory of the Airsoft BBs can be adjusted according to the shooting environment or surroundings.
HOP-UP ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the Hop-Up, make sure the magazine is loaded and that you have at least 65 feet of clearance for a test fire before making any adjustments. 1. Test fire the gun for 10 to 20 rounds and observe the BBs traveling pattern. 2. Remove the magazine. 3. Open the slide and place adjusting tool into the slotted chamber ring. Turn the adjusting ring a 1/4-inch at a time. 4. If the BBs are dropping too quickly, move the adjusting ring to the left or counter-clockwise to give the BB more hop. If the BBs are dropping too slowly, move the adjusting ring to the right or clock-wise. 5. Test fire and adjust as needed.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
Dry internal Hop-up adjustment too tight Bent magazine lip Dry O-ring Weak slide stop spring Broken base plate lock Worn out base seal Broken cylinder tap Worn out trigger spring / trigger bar spring
SOLUTIONS
Add silicone to cylinder / main seal/ rails Release hop-up or replace bucking Replace magazine lip Add silicone oil to valves Adjust tension Replace base plate lock Replace magazine base seal Replace cylinder Replace trigger spring / trigger bar spring

Extreme Cold:
Operating an Airsoft gas gun in extremely cold temperatures is not recommended. Cold temperature will cause the Hop-up Bucking to harden, reducing its effectiveness. Gas will not expand properly in cold temperatures, so cycling rate and power will both be dramatically reduced.
Extreme Heat:
Operating an Airsoft gas gun in extremely hot temperatures is not recommended. Leaving the gun in direct sun light for long periods of time or operating in extremely hot areas will cause the gas to over-expand, damaging the internal workings of the gun. The increase in internal pressure from the expanding gas can also damage the seals and cause leaks in the magazine.
Dust or Sand:
Dust or sand can get into a gas gun and cause malfunctions and/or excessive wear. Keep the gun covered whenever possible. Use lubricant sparingly, as lube naturally attracts dirt and other particles. After use in a dusty area, always field strip the gun (refer to Disassembly Section) and clean any areas you can reach with a soft, lint-free cloth.
