Read these instructions carefully prior to further handling, carry or use. PepperBlaster is ready to use as packaged, PepperBlaster is equipped with a swing-away trigger guard. To access the trigger, place the tip of your index finger against the swing-away trigger guard and push to the side. The guard swings away, allowing access to the trigger. To properly operate PepperBlaster, aim at the face of the assailant and pull the trigger firmly. Pull the trigger only when oe prepared to discharge h Ou PepperBlaster! Effective \ range is 2 feet to approximately 13 feet. Each PepperBlaster has two separate charges filled with liquid irritant. Upon pulling the trigger, a high-speed (90 mph) liquid jet containing the irritant will be released. A power drive activated by pulling the trigger produces the necessary pressure to accelerate the liquid irritant. PepperBlaster’s power drive ensures no loss of pressure at temperature extremes. PepperBlaster contains two separate blasts of liquid irritant. Immediately after discharging the first blast and releasing the trigger, the device is capable of delivering the second blast by firmly pulling the trigger a second time. The trigger has a resistance of 6.6 pounds. PepperBlaster is not reloadable. To assist in verifying PepperBlaster’s readiness, each device has a white release point on both sides of the trigger. If release points are visible outside the casing, the PepperBlaster is ready for use and has not been discharged. Ifthe release points are not visible, this indicates that at least one of the discharges has been released. Release Point (white) Unlike common pepper sprays, PepperBlaster is not a pressurized container. Therefore, PepperBlaster does not lose pressure from temperature, leaking or with age. PepperBlaster is not waterproof. However, the power drive is water resistant and water should not affect the proper operation of the PepperBlaster. It is recommended to allow the device to completely dry if exposed to water. PepperBlaster can be used reliably up to a distance of approximately 13 feet. The design of the nozzle spreads the liquid irritant for a higher degree of accuracy. The jet has a diameter of approximately 12 inches at a distance of 13 feet, yet even at the minimum distance of 2 feet, the liquid irritant covers the face of the assailant. UA Ac Distance in feetPv) PepperBlaster PepperBlaster’s sleek design allows the user to simply point and discharge the device.

PepperBlaster Il Align the sights so that front sight post is both visible and horizontally-centered between the notch of the rear sight, Sights should point in the center of the assailant’s face.

OC is the most effective inflammatory agent available today, and is successfully used by law enforcement professionals as well as military personnel around the world. OC has been proven superior to both CS and CN tear gas when used against assailants under the influence of drugs or alcohol The liquid irritant discharged from PepperBlaster Is immediately effective upon contact with the face of an assailant. The OC works rapidly as an inflammatory agent to the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. The result is a severe burning sensation, temporary blindness, coughing and nausea with extreme discomfort. The high velocity of each blast improves the chance that the liquid irritant will penetrate around eyeglasses, through cloth face masks and other masks with eye openings. Upon contact, the eyes of the assailant should immediately close and the effects will likely be felt within seconds. Symptoms typically last for 45-60 minutes with no lasting after-effects.ae y acy MTP ey CAUTION: STRONG IRRITANT. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
