Read the full Operator’s Manual for technical information, usage instructions, and maintenance tips for your Axe marker. The full manual can be found on the CD enclosed with the marker or by contacting Paintball Solutions at 1-800-220-3222 or at www.paintballsolutions.com. 1. Rules for Safe Marker Handling Important: Never carry your Empire AXE uncased when not on a playing field. The nonpaintball playing public and law enforcement personnel may not be able to distinguish between a paintball marker and firearm. For your own safety and to protect the image of the sport, always carry your Empire AXE in a suitable marker case or in the box in which it came in.
Safety and safe marker handling are the most important aspects of paintball sports. Please practice each of the following steps with an unloaded marker before attempting to operate your marker with an air source and paintballs.
Read this entire manual before loading, or installing an air cylinder, or in any way attempting to operate the marker *READ OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USING* • Treat every marker as if it were loaded. • Never look down the barrel of a paintball marker. • Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. • Never point the marker at anything you don’t wish to shoot. • Keep the marker off until ready to shoot. • Keep the barrel-blocking device in/on the marker’s barrel when not shooting. • Always remove paintballs and air source before disassembly. • After removing air source, point marker in safe direction and discharge until marker is degassed. • Store the marker unloaded and degassed in a secure place. • Follow warnings listed on the air source for handling and storage • Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows. • Every person within range must wear eye, face, and ear protection designed specifically to stop paintballs and meeting ASTM standard F1776. • Always measure your marker’s velocity before playing paintball and never shoot at velocities in excess of 300 feet-per-second (91.44 meters). • Remember that the ultimate safety device is you, the operator. This is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death. Eye protection designed specifically for paintball must be worn by the user and persons within range. Must be 18 years of age or older to purchase. Persons under 18 years of age must have adult supervision.

2. Introduction and Specifications Welcome to the world of the Empire AXE. The Empire AXE is a modern culmination in the pursuit of speed, technology, weight reduction, and overall performance. It started with radical imaginative concepts, which in turn inspired years of research and development, plus countless hours of testing and engineering. As a result, the Empire AXE features innovative electronic and pneumatic technologies that challenge the paradigm that formerly defined “how a high performance paintball marker should function”. The Empire AXE is precision engineered from aircraft-grade aluminum to meet the demands of the most competitive players, teams, and climates. The ultimate intent of the Empire AXE is to exceed your expectations. Empire Paintball expects you to play hard and play frequently and thus the Empire AXE was built with this in mind. All internal parts, wear, and contact surfaces have been heat treated or hard anodized. The toughest and most resilient materials and components have been used in the construction of this marker. The Empire AXE operates on low-pressure. The main operating pressure is 180–200 psi. The pressure can be nominally adjusted and monitored visually via the gauge on the bottom-line regulator. There is no secondary regulator to worry about. The Empire AXE uses .68 caliber, water-soluble paintballs or reballs, readily available at paintball pro-shops, commercial playing fields, and many sporting goods stores.

3. Battery Replacement and Life Indicator The Empire AXE requires a single 9-volt battery as the electronic power source. The use of brand-name batteries is recommended. The 9-volt battery is located in the front fore-grip. The battery is accessed through the removable left side panel on the front fore-grip. Confirm that the marker is off before changing or installing the battery. Loosen the screw on the left side of the fore grip by turning it counter-clockwise with a 5/64” Allen wrench and lift fore grip door off. If there is already a battery in the foregrip, carefully disconnect the battery from the battery harness, and then connect a fresh 9-Volt battery to the harness. Re-insert the battery and harness back into the battery compartment with the harness pointed down towards the bottom of the grip. Make sure that there are no abrupt kinks and the wires are comfortably placed. Do not force them into place. Then re-install the fore grip removable door.
