Introduction

Confetti Magic’s Super Shooter Confetti Cannons are a handheld device, designed to safely launch a shot of confetti or streamers at parties, stage shows and events. They are tested to be safe to use when operated as intended by a responsible adult. They are not a toy and should only be used as directed in these instructions. Not suitable for children.

They comprise a cardboard tube with a pressurised nitrogen cylinder in the bottom and confetti or streamers in the top. A security tape prevents unintentional operation.

They are available in 3 sizes; 30cm, 50cm and 80cm.

Instructions

1/ Remove the safety tape between the top and bottom sections of the cannon.

2/ Pierce the foil or paper on top of the cannon.

3/ Hold the top section of the cannon in one hand and the bottom section in the other hand.

4/ Ensure that you have the cannon orientated correctly with the top pointing away from you.

5/ Position yourself so you have a safety distance of at least 2 metres around you to other people.

6/ Aim the cannon at an angle, up and over the area you wish to cover.

7/ Never point the cannon directly at people or animals. Ensure you have enough space to surfaces and objects to accommodate the full effect range as detailed below.

8/ To fire the cannon, twist the bottom section anti-clockwise a quarter turn.

Effect range

	30cm Cannon	50cm cannon	80cm cannon
Confetti	8m	10m	12m
Streamers	15m	20m	25m

Warnings

1/ Protect the cannon from heat and direct sunlight. Store between 0°C & 40°C.

2/ Do not use the cannon in temperatures less than -10°C or more than 45°C.

3/ The unit will create a pop when fired. This has been measured at 99.3dB at 1 metre (less than a balloon popping). NIOSH recommends less than 15 minutes of exposure per day at a level of 100db. Do not expose yourself to sustained use of the cannons. If you or anyone around you experiences tinnitus (ringing in the ears), stop using the cannons immediately.

4/ Under no circumstances use the cannon near high voltage power lines. This may result in electrocution.

5/ Although the confetti and streamers are considered colourfast, staining may occur with prolonged exposure to water or solvents, e.g. alcohol, when confetti and streamers are left on a porous surfaces like wood or stone. If in doubt, clear up quickly after firing.

6/ Handle the cannon with care. Do not subject to shocks or drops.

7/ Confetti cannons are not suitable for transport by air.
