E-MAGTM Instruction Manual SAFETY THIS PAINTBALL MARKER IS NOT A TOY! This paintball marker should be treated as a dangerous instrument and should always be treated with respect. Never point a paintball marker at anyone not properly attired. This paintball marker can cause serious bodily injury including, but not limited to, blindness or even death. Please read all safety instructions and directions in this manual before using this paintball marker. Always wear approved paintball goggles and mask whenever you handle this paintball marker! Do not point or shoot this paintball marker at animals. Do not point or shoot this paintball marker at any person unless you and your target are engaged in paintball activities and are wearing proper safety gear including approved paintball goggles and mask. Never shoot anyone at close range! Never load this paintball marker with anything except approved paintballs. Never put anything down the barrel except paintballs, barrel squeegees or barrel plugs. Do not attempt to repair this paintball marker by yourself. Follow all maintenance instructions carefully. If you are unsure about any aspect of the maintenance procedures contact your local dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc. at (847) 520-7507. This paintball marker is always armed and cocked when an air supply is installed. Always engage the safety (located behind the grip) and use an approved barrel plug when an air supply is attached or installed. Disengage the safety and remove the barrel plug only when on a playing field, the game has started and all players are wearing proper safety gear. When the red ring of the safety pin is showing, the safety is off and the paintball marker will fire. Always chronograph this paintball marker before using it. Never shoot this paintball marker when the chronograph readings exceed 300 fps! There is a blow-off valve incorporated into the valve mechanism that will release air pressure if pressure exceeds a predetermined amount. This blow-off valve is factory set and is not user adjustable. Remember to wear proper approved goggles and masks when chronographing your paintball marker. Prior to disassembly remember to wear approved safety goggles or masks to prevent accidental injury. Never point the paintball marker at anyone or anything that could be injured or damaged, if shot. Always remove the air source from the paintball marker and dry fire in a safe direction before disassembling. The velocity-adjusting nut is on the back of the regulator body. Do not disassemble the velocity-adjusting nut while the paintball marker is under pressure. If air is leaking out the back of the velocity regulator nut the paintball marker is over-pressurized and will shoot at a higher velocity than intended. Reduce the regulated pressure by backing off the velocity regulator nut and re-chronograph the paintball marker. If problems persist call your dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc. Do not put your fingers into the breech area, down the ball feed tube or barrel while firing the paintball marker; serious injury could result. When set in the Manual Trigger Mode (selector switch pointing to “M”) the pressure regulator allows gas under pressure to push the trigger forward after shooting. An excessively hard trigger pull indicates over pressure in the system. Do NOT fire a paintball marker that has excessive trigger pull; call your local dealer or Airgun Designs, Inc. immediately.
COMPRESSED AIR ONLY Your E-MAG is designed to run on compressed air only! It will not function at all on CO no matter what hoses, expansion chambers, etc. you 2 use. We recommend that you purchase a high-quality compressed air tank and regulator for your E-MAG. The maximum input pressure to the paintball marker should be above 600 psi and less than 1000 psi for best performance. Pressures over 1000 psi will damage the regulator and reduce performance.
QUICK START This is a quick overview of how to use the E-MAG for the experienced player. Introducing air pressure to the paintball marker will charge and cock the system. The system is a blow forward from open bolt, similar in concept to a cork in a champagne bottle. The barrel utilizes a twist lock mount; a one-quarter twist is all that is required for full lock. The velocity adjustment nut is on the back of the valve body and requires only one turn to adjust from 200 to 300 fps. Air venting out of the back of the regulator indicates that the internal blowoff valve is responding to over pressure in the system and the velocity should be turned down. Field stripping is accomplished by unscrewing the knurled field strip screw located underneath the frame while the air supply is off. THE SAFETY MUST BE “OFF” TO PULL THE TRIGGER BACK AND THE TRIGGER MUST BE PULLED (WITH SELECTOR SWITCH SET POINTING TO “M”) TO SLIDE THE VALVE BODY OUT. There is a locking pin for alignment in the regulator body that allows the valve body to only come out part way before you must twist the valve body clockwise to continue sliding out the back. Reinstall in the same manner. Once removed, the entire valve and bolt assembly is available for cleaning. Maintenance on all active o-rings can be accomplished without tools. When adjusting the velocity regulator, dry fire the paintball marker several times before chronographing to allow the regulator piston and spring to seat properly. Always start below your intended velocity and work your way up. When firing the paintball marker, it’s important to remain aware of how many balls are in your loader. There are some unique characteristics of Airgun Designs’ blow forward design. Many times the paintballs will not feed because the recoilless design does not jiggle the loader. You must remain aware enough to keep the balls feeding. We recommend that you use an agitator type loader to keep the balls feeding. Also, the bolt can stick forward causing the trigger to lock due to either paint chips wedging between the bolt and breech or, when degassing the
