QUICK REFERENCE

USING YOUR MARKER
Air Supply - The M7 should be operated using air/nitrogen gas only. This air needs to be supplied to the Hyper2™ in-line regulator at a
regulated pressure of no more than 850 psi. The Hyper2™ in-line regulator comes factory preset at 185psi.
Gassing Up Your M7 - Screw in your air system to the on/off airport and turn the knob of the airport clockwise, all the way in.
Turning On Your M7 - The M7's power is controlled by two buttons. The top button turns the marker on and off, while the bottom button
turns the eyes on and off. Hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn the marker on. The LED in the grip will illuminate during the boot
sequence.
NOTE: If the eye is not working properly, try replacing the battery.
Yellow: - Boot sequence
Red: - Breech is clear, no ball (eyes on)
Green: - Ball in breech, ready to fire (eyes on)
Blinking Red: - Eyes are off
Blinking Green: - Eye failure (see M7 Board, page 4)
LPR - The LPR is pre-set from the factory at approximately 75-80 psi and should need no adjustment out of the box. If fine tuning
adjustment is desired or needed, you must be sure that you are adjusting the LPR correctly. See page 11 for detailed instructions. If the
LPR is improperly adjusted, you could dramatically hinder the M7's performance or prevent the marker from functioning at all.
NOTE: Turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the LPR's output pressure. Turning the adjustment screw
counterclockwise, or out, will raise the LPR's output pressure.
Hopper - To get the best performance out of your M7, it is recommended that you use a motorized loader. Preferably one that force
feeds the paint really, really fast!
Adjusting Velocity - The velocity is adjusted through the Hyper2™ in-line regulator. The Hyper2™ in-line is preset from the factory at
approximately 185 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285fps. Your paint-to-barrel fit will also have a
noticeable affect on your velocity. Make sure that the paintball fits into the barrel loosely but does not drop through.
NOTE: For the Hyper2™, turning the adjustment screw clockwise, or in, will lower the output pressure, decreasing the velocity.
Turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise, or out, will raise the output pressure, increasing the velocity.
NOTE: If the battery is too low, it may not be able to power the solenoid correctly. This will affect your M7's velocity, causing it to
become inconsistent and/or low.

• The M7 marker is not a toy. Misuse may cause serious injury or death.
• Please read, understand and follow the directions in the M7 owner's manual.
• Eye protection that is designed specifically for paintball and meets ASTM/CE standards must be
worn by user and persons within range.
• Recommend 18 years or older to purchase. Person under 18 must have adult supervision.
• Always treat the M7 marker as if it were loaded and able to fire.
• Only use compressed air or nitrogen gas in the M7 marker. DO NOT USE CO
• Do not exceed 850 psi input pressure.
• Ensure all air lines and fittings are tightened and secured before gassing up the M7.
• Always chronograph the M7 marker before playing paintball.
• Never shoot the M7 marker at velocities in excess of 300 feet per second,
or at velocities greater than local or national laws allow.
• Never look into the barrel or breech area of the M7 when the marker is switched on and able to fire.
• Always fit a barrel blocking device to your M7 when not in use on the field of play.
• The owner's manual should always accompany the product for reference or in the event of
resale and new ownership.
• Do not point the M7 marker at anything that you do not intend to shoot.
• Do not shoot at people, animals, houses, cars or anything not related to the sport of paintball.
• Do not fire the M7 without the Fuse™ bolt screwed in completely.
• If you read these instructions and do not fully understand them or are unsure of your ability to make
necessary adjustments properly, call DYE or your local pro shop for help.
