Sporting Saint HANDHELD DUMMY LAUNCHER User manual

MAINTENANCE
Never store a dummy on the launchers spigot as it will seize onto the
spigot. Always store the launcher in somewhere warm and dry if it has
been used in moist conditions ensure it dries fully before storing.
Never spray oil down the hole the blank goes in. This will cause misfires.
Clean the .22 chamber every so often with a .22 cleaning brush.
Available in The Sporting Saint Dummy Launcher Care Pack.
Keep the spigot clean at all times, wipe with a baby wipe or similar to
remove burn powder residue. Change the seal if it looks perished or worn
as this will greatly affect dummy launching distance.
Check the launcher out before every use. If something seems wrong or
loose refrain from using the launcher until the problem is addressed.

severe injury or death to any person, animal or object it may hit if used
incorrectly. Treat the launcher as you would a loaded gun. Never point it
at anyone or anything under any circumstances. Always leave it unloaded
when not being used. Always wear eye and ear protection when
operating. It is also strongly advised to wear gloves when operating.
Do not fire dry
Never place a blank in the chamber before placing the dummy on the
barrel.
Use only the correct type of launcher dummy
Make sure any launcher dummy is in good working condition.
Keep the launcher clean and well maintained.

sure you have allowed plenty of space for the dummy to land safely.

cartridge.
FIRING / LAUNCHING DUMMY
Firmly hold the launcher in the one hand with the thumb latch facing
towards the shoulder of the arm that is holding the launcher. The heel of
the hand holding should rest against the hand guard with your fingers
wrapped comfortably around the rubber grip handle, the thumb should
be closest to the pull knob.

practice with the light/low level blanks before upgrading to the higher
powered blank cartridges.

towards the target area.
