    cb-625 manual

    Hi chums <grin, grovel, toady up>

    I'm much too tight fisted to pay, but could some very nice person check the manual for silly mistakes before I print a gudzillion copies all wrong

    BEWARE This is a half megabyte jpeg file, broadband downloads it in approx 6 seconds, not recommended for modem connections, and it will disappear as soon as I am happy with it.

    Ta muchly

    does this mean we can expect a mk4 anytime soon?

    Dunno, rather depends on whether the manual is okay

    edit: seems ok, but I am dyslexic so it could all be wrong

    A quick scan shows no obvious horrors but will look in detail after lunch.
    Possible omission is the number of batteries required and how to change them.

    Robin, in the Trouble shooting section, you've written:

    Is the other chrono is being affected by muzzle blast?

    One too many 'is' in there mate.

    Does that earn me a free Mk.4?

    A few more itty bitty errors that I see...

    You've used the american 'center' as opposed to our 'centre' in the Err section of Trouble shooting.

    There's a lack of consistency between the upper and lower case I mperial and m etric in the setting the pellet weight etc. section.

    ....well you did ask.

    Jonathan.

    Must SURELY mean a free Mk.4 now!

    Instuctions page: 2nd para, 3rd line, The word "For" has a space F or

    Setting the pellet weight: No. 6, There should be a space in here..read1% fast. ie. read 1% fast

    How to calculate kinetic energy/Trouble shooting: There are a number of spacing anomalies on this page. Could just be the jpeg file though.

    Diagram with Tick and Cross on the cb625: 3rd line should be space between ......howround....... ie. how round

    Hope this is of some help

    nit picking aside - it looks fantastic and i'm all excited at the thought of the Mk4 coming out in the near future.
    stand by to receive a flood of orders once it's available.
    I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but it was just some ba$tard with a torch bringing me more work.

    Tried email and PM first but.....

    Really 'picky' comment but could be worth noting....

    There's a remark on the top right hand side that says something like; "Don't put your finger in front of the muzzle, or don't look down the muzzle unless you're sure it's safe".

    This almost accepts there is a 'safe' time to look down the barrel of a rifle/gun, which there seldom is. I'm thinking this 'reverse' logic could get you into some bother later on. Especially in America. [If someone had an accident].

    If anything I think you might even advise against looking down the barrel. People will, but your corporate responsibility is addressed.

    ...
    To be good, one must do good.

    Robin,

    What Baldie suggests should be given serious consideration. A very good point.

    Robin,
    This was a concern of mine when I first read it. Seems I wasn't the only one to consider the implications. Maybe best to omit this line altogether?
