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 DM5’s velocity, causing it...
• Never look into the barrel or breech area of the DM5 when the marker is switched on and able to fire. • Always fit a barrel blocking device to your DM5 when not in use on the field of play.
FIRING THE DM5 As soon as the marker is turned on and the LED turns from blue to either red or green, the DM5 is ready to fire. If there is no ball and the LED is RED, you need to hold the trigger for 1 second to force the DM5 to fire once. If there is a paintball inside the breech and the LED is green, just press the trigger to fire the marker.

DM5 BOARD - Settings and Functions (continued) BOARD SETTINGS AND CONFIGURATION MODE There are five settings you can alter on the DM5 board with the DIP switches inside the grip frame (see figure 2) Anti Bolt Stick. Eye Sensitivity This setting changes how long the eye waits for the ball to set into the breech.

Dwell is the amount of time that the solenoid will be activated. Follow these steps for the best way to set your dwell: • Remove loader and any paintballs from the DM5 marker. • With the dwell set at 12, start increasing the value until the marker begins to fire.

BATTERY NEEDS TO BE CHANGED. An intermittent blinking blue power the solenoid correctly. This will light indicates a low battery. A affect the DM5’s velocity, causing it to become inconsistent and/or low. low battery may cause malfunctions to the marker. In this case, the battery should be changed as soon as possible.
BACK POSITION When the DM5 is aired up, air is transferred by the solenoid to the front of the cylinder. This air pushes against the bolt sail and the bolt is held in the back position. When the bolt is held back, the 013 o-ring in the top hat seals around the bolt and contains the air in the supply chamber.

BEFORE INSTALLING THE BOLT INTO THE MARKER, BE SURE ALL BOLT SLEEVE COMPONENTS ARE SCREWED TOGETHER SNUGLY. If you do not grease the Fuse bolt, you will run the risk of damaging o-rings. This will create excessive friction and drag on the bolt, ultimately resulting in breaking the bolt. When greasing the DM5 Fuse bolt, pay special attention to all o-rings that are on the bolt and that ride on a surface of the bolt.
This pressure is used to move the bolt forward and back. The factory setting is 75 PSI. You can fine tune your DM5 to its minimum cycle pressure. This will reduce the amount of force of the bolt hitting the ball (reducing ball breaks) and help with efficiency.
ON/OFF VALVE - Maintenance and Changing O-rings ON/OFF: USAGE AND CHANGING O-RINGS The On/Off knob is located under the barrel in the front of the DM5 . Using the on/off is simple. To turn the (see figure 2) gas off, turn the knob so that is is facing sideways. If you had gas inside the marker, it will bleed out. To turn the gas on, turn the knob so that it faces vertically.

ANTI CHOP EYES The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will prevent the DM5 from chopping paint by not allowing the marker to fire until a ball is fully seated in front of the bolt. The eyes use a beam across the breech. On one side there is a transmitter, and on the opposite side a receiver.
