2. Firearms should be unloaded when not actually in use.

3. Do not rely on the firearm’s safety.

4. Be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

5. Only use ammunition that exactly matches the markings on your firearm.

6. If your firearm fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care.

7. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.

8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.

9. Don't alter or modify your firearm and have firearms serviced regularly.

10. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm you are

using. Read your firearm's instruction manual.

WARNING! – Failure to follow the instructions and recommendations set forth in

this manual can create a potentially dangerous situation for the user and

surrounding personnel, and possibly leading to property damage, personal injury

and/or death.

WARNING! – Discharging silenced firearms can make airborne and/or deposit

lead and other substances around, on and in the silencer. Using, handling and/or

cleaning a silencer may result in exposure to lead and other substances known

to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, cancer and other serious physical

injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times and wash hands thoroughly after

exposure.

WARNING! – Never install or remove a silencer on or from a host firearm that

you have not verified to be completely empty and rendered safe. Installing or

removing a silencer on or from a loaded firearm may lead to property damage,

personal injury and/or death.

FIGURE 2 3. Once the core assembly and tube have been separated, the two can be screwed back together by hand. DO NOT use the PRODIGY™ disassembly tools to reassemble or tighten the core assembly and tube, as over-tightening the tube to the core assembly can make future disassembly difficult. See Figure 3. FIGURE 3 4. The PRODIGY™ may now be re-installed on the host firearm. See “Installing a PRODIGY™ Silencer” in these instructions.

WARNING! – Only clean the PRODIGY™ silencer using a solvent that is not harmful to anodized aluminum, such as acetone, paint thinner, or lacquer thinner. Exposing the anodized aluminum components of the PRODIGY™ silencer to a solvent that is not aluminum friendly can weaken the structural design of the silencer. Using a PRODIGY™ silencer with a weakened structure may lead to property damage, personal injury and/or death. WARNING! – Only use solvents in a well ventilated area away from open flames.
