The CASH Cowpuncher range of stunners are cartridge powered, contact ring, cylindrical style
penetrative tools with automatic bolt return. They are available in both .22” and .25” calibre and can
be used to stun cattle, pigs and other large animals. These tools are intended for professional use.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
P3
The CASH Cowpuncher range of stunning tools are penetrative captive bolt devices which cause severe
and irreversible damage to the brain. These tools are designed to stun all designated animals prior to
slaughter or depopulation. They can be used in accordance with EU Council Regulation (EC) number
1099/2009 On the Protection of Animals at the Time of Killing.
The Cowpuncher range of tools are contact ring. This means that when the tool is in the cocked
position and ready to re, and the muzzle/barrel is depressed, the tool will re and the bolt will exit the
tool at a very rapid velocity.
The CASH Cowpuncher range of stunners have been on the market for many years, and in that time
have earned a reputation for being a reliable and effective tool. Long handled Cowpuncher stunning tools
(5430, 5432, 5432R) are suitable for use with long horned animals, this makes the stunning process safer as
it gives the operator a longer reach with the tool and lowers the risk of potential injury from the horns of
the animal. They may also be used when animals are down in the stun box.
To ensure the safety of the operator, and quality of products, all Accles & Shelvoke stunning tools are
proof tested in accordance with the Rules of Proof 2006. We have several ‘assistant proof masters’ who
are accredited by the British Proof House (formerly the Birmingham Proof House, www.gunproof .com).
We work to standards set by the Commission Internationale Permanente pour l’Epreuve des Armes á
Feu Portatives (CIP). All stunning tools are “Proofed” prior to the stunners being released to customers.
Proofed components are stamped with the mark of the British Proof House, so that users can be
assured of the quality and safety of the product.

* Rounded to 1decimal place.
Sound values determined according to EN 15895 using EN ISO 3744, using the maximum rated
cartridge for a given tool. Tests conducted using simulated load (paper sheets and plasticine).
The A-weighted sound pressure level and A-weighted sound power level have been calculated
- and are hence valid - at the maximum number of driving processes in one second.
The maximum number of driving processes in the CASH Cowpuncher tool is one per second. This
applies to all of the tools in the range included in this instruction manual.
Information about vibrations
EN15895 states - for cartridge operated hand tools, the vibration total value to which the hand-arm
system is subjected does not exceed 2.5m/s². The generated mechanical recoil that is transmitted into
the hand and arm of the operator is not considered to be a vibration.

ANIMAL WELFARE
Improving the protection of animals at the time of slaughter contributes to higher meat quality.
EU Only - in accordance with EU Council Regulation (EC) Number 1099/2009 on the protection of
animals at the time of killing, animals must be spared any avoidable pain, distress or suffering during their
killing and related operations.
Business operators shall in particular take the necessary measures to ensure that animals:
(a) Are provided with physical comfort and protection, in particular by being kept clean,
in adequate thermal conditions and prevented from falling or slipping;
(b) Are protected from injury;
(c) Are handled and housed taking into consideration their normal behaviour;
(d) Do not show signs of avoidable pain or fear or exhibit abnormal behaviour;
(e) Do not suffer from prolonged withdrawal of feed or water;
(f) Are prevented from avoidable interaction with other animals that could harm their welfare.
In addition:
4Introduce the animal into the stun box only when the operator is ready to stun it;
4Avoid excessive light and noise at the stun box to keep animal stress to a minimum;
4The operator should not have to concentrate on keeping his balance, or have to bend excessively
each time he stuns an animal, as this becomes tiring and can lead to inaccurate stunning.
Stun box and race design is therefore of utmost importance for both animal welfare and the
operator’s health and safety;
4The efciency of each stunner is essential to ensuring an effective stun. Ensure cleaning and
maintenance schedules detailed within this Instruction Manual are adhered to;
4Ensure at least 2 stunning tools are present near the stun box. If one stunner breaks down
in use, then there must be a working second tool available, to ensure there is always a means
of administering an effective stun to the target animal.
NOTE - we always advise you refer to any local regulations in force.
SECTION 4
©

This section provides a guide to the correct stunning position and direction for certain animals, and
helps you to select the correct cartridge for that animal.
The cartridge selection information provided within this section of this instruction manual is not
categorical and is hence supplied as guidance only.
GOOD PRACTISE
4Understand animal welfare - refer to the Animal Welfare section for further guidance
4Always ensure your stunning tool is in good working order
4Stunning tools should be cleaned and maintained in accordance with the
instructions within this manual
4Ensure at least 2 stunning tools are present near the stun box
4Stunning tools will require more maintenance if used with cartridges that are more powerful
than is necessary for the target animal
EFFECTIVE STUNNING
The cartridge selection and the blow being applied to the correct part of the skull and in the right
direction is important in ensuring an effective stun. Refer to the diagrams and selection charts within this
section as guidance towards selection. To obtain maximum effect, the muzzle of the tool must be struck
accurately on the target animals head.
The physical signs of an effective stun are:
Quadrupeds
4Animal collapses
4No rhythmic breathing
4Fixed, glazed expression in the eyes
4No corneal reex
4Relaxed jaw
4Tongue hanging loose
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE STUN MUST BE VERIFIED BEFORE THE ANIMAL IS SLAUGHTERED.
FAILURE TO STUN
If an animal is not properly stunned it must be re-stunned immediately. Using the second or an
alternative stunning tool, a repeat shot must always be placed so as to avoid the immediate area of
the rst shot.
STUN-TO-STICK TIMES
The humane killing of livestock using captive-bolt equipment is a two-stage procedure. After the animal
has been stunned, it must be bled (or pithed*) immediately to ensure rapid death.
The stun-to-stick interval is the time from the application of stunning equipment to the start of bleeding.
After stunning, sticking should be conducted without delay with a maximum stun-to-stick interval of 15
seconds recommended for all species in the eld. In the abattoir, all pigs, sheep and goats should also be
stuck within 15 seconds. However, on the majority of cattle lines, where the carcass must be hoisted
to a bleed area, maximum stun-to-stick intervals of 60 seconds for the penetrative captive-bolt are
acceptable. (These gures are obtained from the Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) website).

OTHER ANIMAL SPECIES
Although Accles & Shelvoke CASH Cowpuncher stunning tools are predominantly used for the stunning
of cattle and pigs for meat production, we know from our 100 year history that they are also used for
other animal species, such as, but not limited to:
Mammals such as:
Equines
Deer
Camelids
Etc
As conclusive test results are not available for these animals, we recommend you seek the advice of
an independent expert to understand the appropriate cartridge selection, head placement and tool
direction, prior to stunning.

SECTION 5
ACCLES & SHELVOKE CARTRIDGE RANGE
The following tables identify which cartridges from our range are suitable for use with a given tool from
the CASH Cowpuncher range of products. The cartridges are supplied in quantities of 50 in a metal tin,
or 1000 in a box. All of our products will be clearly branded as Accles & Shelvoke CASH cartridges.
It is a condition of Accles & Shelvoke’s product liability insurance that only CASH cartridges, in CASH
cartons and bearing “E” or “C” headmarks, be used in stunners manufactured by Accles & Shelvoke.
It follows therefore, that no liability whatsoever can be accepted for any claim, including injury, should
any other brand of cartridge be used.
Where cartridges other than these are used, Accles & Shelvoke will not accept responsibility for:
4The safety of the operator
4The humaneness of the stun
4The correct operation of the stunning tool
4The premature failure of parts
Cartridges must be stored in cool, dry conditions. Exposure to excessive amounts of moisture may
affect cartridge performance, which in turn will affect tool performance with the potential to create an
ineffective stun of the animal.
When not in use, cartridges should be locked away separately from any stunning tools.
NOTE - “N/S” - WITH REFERENCE TO THE COMPATABILITY TABLES IN THIS SECTION
OF THE MANUAL, “N/S” IDENTIFIES THAT THE CARTRIDGES HIGHLIGHTED ARE NOT
SUITABLE FOR USE IN THE STATED PRODUCT IN THE TABLE.
EXCEEDING THE PERMITTED STRENGTH OF CARTRIDGE COULD BE HAZARDOUS TO THE
OPERATOR, WILL REDUCE THE EXPECTED LIFE OF THE TOOL OR ITS COMPONENTS AND
WILL INVALIDATE OUR WARRANTY

FRAGMENT AND POSE A DANGER OF FLYING PARTICLES
4NEVER USE A MORE POWERFUL CARTRIDGE THAN THE MAXIMUM PERMITTED CARTRIDGE AS
STAMPED ON YOUR STUNNING TOOL - TO PREVENT CARTRIDGE BURST AND EXCESSIVE
NOISE IN OPERATION
4KEEP THE TOOL DRY AND CLEAN - TO ENSURE YOU HAVE AN ADEQUATE GRIP ON THE TOOL
DURING USE AND MINIMISE THE RISK OF DROPPING THE TOOL
4WHEN PLACING THE ASSEMBLED TOOL – OR IF THE TOOL HAS BEEN SEPARATED THE CAP
OR BARREL (REFER TO FIG 3.01) – DOWN ONTO A WORK SURFACE ENSURE THERE IS A MEANS TO
PREVENT THE TOOL OR TOOL PARTS FROM ROLLING OFF THE WORK SURFACE. IF THE TOOL
FALLS OR DROPS FROM THE WORK SURFACE, IT MAY DROP ONTO THE FOOT OF THE OPERATOR
OR OTHER PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY.
CAUTION - The hazards listed in this section pose a low level of risk which, if not avoided
may result in minor or moderate injury
4TO AVOID TRAPPING FINGERS OR OTHER PARTS OF THE HAND WHEN ASSEMBLING THE CAP
TO THE BARREL, HOLD THE CAP ABOVE THE RED ‘O’ RINGS IN THE KNURLED AREA, AND HOLD
