Before handling any firearm, make sure you know the safety procedures and most
importantly, keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. Before handling a firearm,
read, understand and follow the instructions in the firearm manual. Always keep the
manual with the firearm. If you lend, give or sell the firearm, be sure the manual goes
with it. If there is anything you do not understand, seek advice from someone qualified in
safe handling of firearms. You must ALWAYS obey the following warnings, instructions
and safety procedures:
1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
2. Firearms
should be unloaded and secured when not actually in use.
3. Don’t
rely on your firearm’s safety.
4. Be
sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
5. Use only proper ammunition matching the precise caliber of your specific firearm.
6. If
your firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care.
7. Always wear ear and eye protection when shooting.
8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.

LEAD WARNING: The ABDO
®
does not contain any lead; however, it can hold a firearm
that may have been exposed to
lead or lead compounds known to the State of California to
cause cancer, birth defects, reproductive toxicity, and other serious physical injury. Those
who
discharge a firearm, stand near someone who discharges a firearm or clean firearms
are hereby warned of the dangers presented by lead and lead compounds and should take
protective health measures. Avoid exposure to lead while handling a firearm and wash your
hands after contact. Proper air ventilation is absolutely necessary when shooting indoors.
Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using your firearm or ABDO
®
.
Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors near you. All guns are extremely
dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm user is the primary
“safety” and that reliance on any mechanical safety device should never replace safe
handling procedures.
A Firearm WILL FIRE if a cartridge is in the chamber and the trigger is pulled while the
safety is disengaged.
NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure the chamber is
empty.
Test
your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the firearm is pointed
in a safe direction. Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at
close range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is new and in good clean
condition. Do NOT oil or grease ammunition as this may damage the cartridge primer. Do
NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory ammunition. Never drop your gun. If you do
drop it, unload it and check it for proper function before using it again. Do NOT alter or
modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull, because it may affect sear
engagement and thereby cause accidental firing.
