Warning: Paintball markers are dangerous pieces of sporting equipment. Like any air rifle or air pistol, it can cause injury or death. By purchasing this paintball marker you assume all liability. Alien Paintball Equipment, INC. (Alien) assumes no liability for its use, misuse, injury or death. Please follow all federal, state and local ordinances. Remember it is the “unloaded” gun that hurts people. Independence retains air even after the bottle has been removed. It can retain a charge for hours or even days after the bottle has been removed. Before removing protective eyewear always check and double check that there are no balls in the chamber and that the marker has no air pressure. Risk of injury, especially blindness, can be greatly reduced by proper use and handling. It is of the utmost importance that user and everyone within 300 feet of the marker have proper paintball goggles on at all times. Some “finned” paintballs can increase this distance to over 500 feet. Always have a safety plug in, or a safety sock on, between uses. Always put on a paintball-approved safety goggles before uncovering barrel. Always cover the barrel before removing safety goggles. Eyes are not a safety feature! Eyes limit ball breakage. The gun will fire regardless of the LED color!

Safety The first rule of paintball is: Safety First! Paintball markers propel a paintball at speeds fast enough to cause blindness, even with the barrel removed or at the lowest operating pressures. Do not play or allow others to play or watch without wearing goggles designed specifically for the sport of paintball. Never allow anyone to lift his or her goggles while a gun is capable of firing. Goggles can fog over, paint can reduce vision and some may be tempted to clean or adjust their goggles during play. Do not ever let this happen for any reason. • •
Play only at commercial playing fields. Proper fields will have a Chronograph, referees and clearly marked safety areas. Chronograph your marker before every game at the field’s safety limit, usually about 280 feet per second. Ramping (shooting more than one ball per trigger pull) dramatically increases the chance of goggle lens failure or goggle dislodgement. Increased safety risks outweigh any perceived advantages of ramping. Goggle manufactures recommend replacement of goggle lenses after a direct hit. Alien advises against the use of ramping modes. Notwithstanding this, ramping is included because some tournaments specify ramping. You will be held liable if someone is hurt from a paintball shot from your marker. Make sure you shoot at safe velocities and that everyone has proper eyewear. Never point the marker at anyone not wearing goggles. Remover the barrel and bolt before looking into the firing chamber and wear goggles or approved safety eyewear Use extra caution when the bolt is removed as a ball, or part of a ball, shell can fire out of feed neck or back of marker. Read the entire manual before operating the marker. The LPR should not be adjusted until the player has read the LPR section Repair of a marker while pressurized increases risk of injury and should be done only by those qualified in the art of airsmithing. Do not gas up marker with LPR cap off. The LPR piston will shoot out of the gun at very high speeds if the cap is removed. Only experienced airsmiths should service the LPR piston’s O-Rings or seal. Servicing the marker should not be done while the gun is in Response mode or a Ramp mode. Turn off marker when operation is not desired.
