Warning:
This rifle can be dangerous if it is not used
correctly or if this instruction leaflet is not

Rifle accidents would not occur if the
following rules of shooting safety were
observed.

General handling of rifles and
pistols
Although it can be assumed that shooters
are familiar with the following rules we
would like to emphasize them once again
for reasons of safety.
All firearms are hazardous objects.
Extraordinary care has to be dedicated to
their use and storage.
1. Treat every rifle as though it was loaded.
Do not take anyone’s word or automatically
assume it is not loaded. Check your rifle
personally each time you handle it. The safe
and courteous way to carry a rifle when
you are with others is to leave the bolt open
so that they can easily see that the rifle
cannot be fired. Make sure that the rifle is
not loaded when you stop shooting. Make
sure your rifle is unloaded before every
transport. Never pick up your rifle with your
finger on the trigger or the trigger guard.
2. Whenever you pick up your rifle, point
the muzzle at the ground. Always point the
muzzle of the barrel in a safe direction.
Never pull a rifle towards you by the
muzzle.
3. Only use your rifle in approved shooting
ranges. Shoot your rifle only under good
visibility and daylight conditions. If you use
your rifle in an indoors range, make sure it
is adequately ventilated. Make sure that
there is a safe bullet trap which can be seen
from all sides and that there is no one in
the vicinity of your target. Be absolutely sure
of a safe backstop and target. Never fire
at a hard, smooth surface or water. Never
