QUICK REFERENCE
BATTERY CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS The M2 marker uses a rechargeable battery.
To access the M2’s charging port open the dust cover labeled USB on the upper left side of the grip. Lift and rotate the cover out of the way.
In order charge your M2 marker, simply use any standard micro USB cable and power supply. A micro USB cable is provided with the marker.
Plug the full size USB end of the cable into any standard power supply adapter (car charger, wall charger, computer, etc.) See page 12 in manual for complete battery detail.
LED LIGHT COLOR INDEX-CHARGING Blinking Blue: Charging up to 95% Blinking Green: Charging up to 95% – 99% Solid Green: 100% charged
BASIC VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT The velocity is CONTROLLED through the Hyper5TM regulator. The Hyper5TM is preset from the factory at approximately 140 psi. This pressure setting should have the marker shooting at about 285fps. Your paint-to-barrel fit will also have a noticeable effect on your velocity.
You can adjust your velocity through the Hyper5TM regulator, located in the fore grip. To adjust the velocity, insert a 3/16″ Allen wrench into the bottom of the fore grip. Turning the Allen wrench 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.
LPR – LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR The LPR is factory set at approximately 65 psi and should need no adjustment out of the box. See page 19 for detailed instructions on fine tuning. If the LPR is improperly adjusted, you could dramatically hinder the 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.

ULTRALITE REACH TRIGGER The M2 has an external reach angle adjustment for the Ultralite trigger. This adjustment changes the angle that the trigger blade sits without affecting the trigger activation point. TO ADJUST TRIGGER REACH To adjust, simply loosen the two 6-32 screws (4) using a 1/16″ Allen wrench. You do not have to remove the screws from the trigger. Now the front of the trigger should rotate freely while the back of the trigger remains relatively stationary. When the desired trigger angle has been achieved, tighten the two 6-32 screws snugly. Be careful not to over tighten and strip the Allen wrench or screws.
BE SURE THE TRIGGER IS NOT ADJUSTED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS TOO SENSITIVE AND MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE OF THE MARKER.

FUSETM BOLT ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE

3

FUSETM BOLT OPERATION
To achieve top performance from your M2, it is important to understand the basic operation of the M2’s patented FUSETM bolt system.

This design consists of three sleeves threaded together to capture the only moving part of the system, the bolt.

The FUSETM Bolt has six components:
1 Cylinder 2 Bolt Sail 3 Bolt 4 Top Hat 5 Manifold 6 Tool-less Back Cap

BACK POSITION MID POSITION

Air is supplied to the bolt at two

points. A high-pressure supply of

air is routed to the back of the bolt

FORWARD POSITION

into the shot chamber. This air

source is responsible for propelling the ball. Low-pressure air is supplied from the LPR to

the solenoid. From the solenoid, the air is routed through two small holes to the section

of the bolt referred to as the cylinder.

When the M2 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 014 O-ring in the top hat seals around the bolt and contains the air in the shot chamber. When the marker is fired, the micro switch is pressed, activating the solenoid and switching the flow of air from the front of the cylinder

WWW.DYEPAINTBALL.COM

to the rear of the cylinder. Air that enters the rear of the cylinder pushes on the bolt sail, moving the bolt forward. The air in the front of the cylinder is vented out of the marker.
As the bolt moves forward, the tapered shelf passes through the top hat. Once the bolt’s shelf can no longer seal against the 014 O-ring, the air contained in the shot chamber is released. The air passes through the venturi ports in the bolt and out the front of the bolt to propel the ball. When the bolt is in the forward position, the inside bolt stem O-ring prevents the flow of air from continuously flowing through the marker when the bolt is forward. This helps the marker shoot much more efficiently.
NOTE: LOW OR ERRATIC VELOCITY MAY BE DUE TO A LOW BATTERY NOT SUPPLYING AMPLE ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO THE SOLENOID. IN THIS CASE, CHARGE THE BATTERY.

WHEN SERVICING YOUR MARKER: · MAKE SURE YOUR HOPPER IS REMOVED FROM THE M2. · MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PAINTBALLS IN THE BREACH OF THE M2. · ALWAYS REMOVE THE AIR SUPPLY AND RELIEVE ALL GAS PRESSURE IN THE
M2 BEFORE DISASSEMBLY. · WHEN USING THE MARKER IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 50° FAHRENHEIT IT MAY
BE NECESSARY TO LUBE THE FUSETM BOLT MORE FREQUENTLY. · THE M2 CAN HOLD A SMALL RESIDUAL CHARGE OF GAS, AFTER THE AIR
SUPPLY HAS BEEN REMOVED. ALWAYS DISCHARGE THE MARKER IN A SAFE DIRECTION TO RELIEVE THIS RESIDUAL GAS PRESSURE.
16

BOLT MAINTENANCE Regular FuseTM bolt maintenance is vital to the performance of the M2. If the FuseTM bolt is not kept well greased and the O-rings in good shape, the performance of the M2 will be greatly hindered. The M2 software tracks how many shots the marker has fired, and will alert you when service is due. A red service icon will flash over the playing screen. See service system on page 8 for more info.
USE DYE SLICK LUBE TO GREASE THE M2 FUSETM BOLT AFTER EVERY 4,000 TO 8,000 SHOTS, DEPENDING ON PLAYING CONDITIONS. CHECK CONDITION OF O-RINGS. BE SURE THE FUSE BOLT CAN MOVE BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT EXCESSIVE FORCE.
To remove the bolt, grab the bolt back cap with your right hand. Push the bolt release button, located on the left side of the bolt back cap, with your thumb. With the bolt release button depressed pull firmly back on the bolt.
BEFORE INSTALLING THE BOLT INTO THE MARKER, BE SURE ALL BOLT COMPONENTS ARE SCREWED TOGETHER SNUGLY. If you do not grease the 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 M2 FuseTM bolt, pay special attention to all O-rings that are on the bolt and that ride on a surface of the bolt. The first seven O-rings listed on the following page should be greased during maintenance.

BASIC VELOCITY ADJUSTMENT
ADJUSTMENTS The Hyper5 regulator controls your velocity. It is pre-set at approximately 140 psi. This will enable your gun to shoot about 285 FPS. The M2’s velocity will be affected by paint size, weather conditions, altitude and other factors. To adjust your velocity use a 3/16″ Allen wrench and insert it into the bottom of the fore grip where the Hyper5 reg is located. To lower the velocity turn the Allen wrench clockwise (inward), this will decrease the pressure. To raise the velocity turn the Allen wrench counter clockwise (outward) this will increase the pressure. Each 1/2 turn will change the Hyper5 reg output Pressure by approximately 15PSI.
The M2 is equipped with an internal pressure sensor for the Hyper5. You are able to view your Hyper5 reg pressure at any time on the OLED screen. The Pressure readings can be viewed by entering into the Data Settings Menu and scrolling to the Pressure Gauge Screen (see page 7), or while in the Playing Screen you can press the joystick left and the Systems Check screen will appear for 10 seconds and display your M2’s PSI reading, along with other information about the M2’s operating system (see page 4).

LPR (LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR) ADJUSTMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
LPR ASSEMBLY, CLEANING, TESTING AND CHANGING SEALS The Low-Pressure Regulator (LPR) is located at the front of the M2 under the barrel. The function of the LPR is to lower the air pressure supplied to the marker by the Hyper5TM before it reaches the solenoid. This air pressure is used to cycle the bolt forward and back.
LPR ADJUSTMENT The LPR is pre-set at approximately 65 PSI. Generally there is no reason to adjust the Factory LPR setting.
Too low of pressure will cause the bolt to not fully cycle, move sluggishly, or not at all. If you experience dramatic velocity increase during rapid fire, the LPR may be adjusted too low.
Too high of pressure will cause excess kick, potentially increase ball breakage, and cause fatigue on the bolt components.
You can fine-tune your M2 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.
To adjust the LPR pressure, insert a 3/16″ Allen wrench into to LPR Access hole below the barrel. Turn the wrench clockwise (inward) to lower the Pressure, and Counterclockwise (outward) to raise the pressure. Each 1/2 turn will change the LPR’s output Pressure by approximately 10 psi.
NOTE: APPLYING EXCESSIVE TORQUE TO THE SEAT RETAINER WILL DAMAGE THE LPR SEAT.

WHEN SERVICING YOUR MARKER: · MAKE SURE YOUR HOPPER IS REMOVED FROM THE M2. · MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO PAINTBALLS IN THE BREACH OF THE M2. · ALWAYS REMOVE THE AIR SUPPLY AND RELIEVE ALL GAS PRESSURE IN THE
M2 BEFORE DISASSEMBLY.

ANTI CHOP EYES The Anti Chop Eye (ACE) system will help prevent the M2 from chopping paint by preventing the marker from firing until a ball is fully seated in front of the bolt. The eyes use a light beam across the breech. In order for the marker to fire with the eyes turned on, the signal between the two eyes must be broken (a paintball in the breach). After every shot, before the next ball drops in the breech, the eye transmitter and receiver must see each other. If there is a malfunction, the LED’s on the board will start blinking green. This means that the eyes do not see each other. If this is the case, there are normally two reasons. Either there is dirt, paint or grease blocking the beam, or the battery is so low there is not enough power to create a strong enough light beam.
Turning anti chops eyes off or on: The eye system is automatically powered on during boot up. To turn the eyes on or off, press and hold the joystick down for 2 seconds. The LED light will begin flashing red when eyes are off.
To turn the eyes back on, press and hold the joystick down for 2 seconds until the LED turns either red or green.
LED LIGHT COLOR INDEX 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
NOTE: IF THE BATTERY IS LOW, THE MARKER MAY ACT AS IF THE EYES ARE DIRTY OR NOT FIRE AT ALL. IN THIS CASE, CHARGE BATTERY.
SELF CLEANING EYE PIPE The M2 is equipped with a patented self-cleaning eye pipe feature. There is a clear polycarbonate sleeve mounted inside the breech of the gun covering the eyes. When the bolt tip O-ring passes through the eye pipe, it sweeps off any dirt, grease or paint that could be blocking the eyes. Normally it is enough to just fire the M2 to clean anything blocking the eyes. If this does not clear the blockage use a swab to clean the inside of the breech.
For a more thorough cleaning, pull the eye pipe with the ball detents out the front of the breech. With the eye pipe out use a swab to clean the breech. This should be enough to clean the eye system.

EYE PIPE ANTI CHOP EYES/ BALL DETENTS
CHANGING BALL
DETENTS The ball detent system is clipped to the outside of the eye pipe. The ball detent system needs little or no maintenance. The detents should easily flex out of the way with little force, such as a paintball moving past. If you are experiencing double feeding or chopping, check the condition of your ball detents with your finger to make sure they are not broken, stuck in the up or down position, and that they move in and out of the breech freely. If excessive broken paint or dirt has jammed your ball detents, remove the eye pipe/detent system from the front of the M2 and unclip the detents for a thorough cleaning. Reinstall the detents, and eye pipe after you have sufficiently cleaned the detents and breech.
Be careful not to over-flex the detents when handling them. Excessive flexing could break or damage the detents.
NOTE: TAKE CARE WHEN REPLACING THE EYE PIPE. BE CAREFUL THAT THE
DETENT CLIP IS FULLY SEATED ONTO THE EYE PIPE.
