02 | SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Safety must be the first and constant consideration of every person who handles firearms and ammunition. The person with a firearm in his
possession has an important responsibility. He/she must know how to use his/her firearm safely:
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANY FIREARM WITHOUT HAVING A COMPLETE
UNDERSTANDING OF ITS PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS AND SAFE USE.
WARNING:
YOU SHOULD NEVER DEPEND ON A SAFETY MECHANISM OR ANY OTHER
MECHANICAL DEVICE TO JUSTIFY CARELESS AND IMPROPER HANDLING.
WARNING:
THIS FIREARM WAS MANUFACTURED TO PERFORM PROPERLY WITH THE ORIGINAL
PARTS AS DESIGNED. PLEASE MAKE SURE ANY PARTS YOU BUY ARE INSTALLED
CORRECTLY AND THAT NEITHER REPLACEMENTS NOR ORIGINALS ARE ALTERED OR
CHANGED. PUTTING A FIREARM TOGETHER INCORRECTLY OR WITH MODIFIED PARTS
CAN RESULT IN DAMAGED FIREARM, DANGER, AND INJURY OR DEATH. ANY
MODIFICATIONS TO FIREARM WILL VOID FACTORY WARRANTY.
1. Always keep the firearm holstered except when drawn for a definite purpose.
2. Always check the firearm for live ammunition when picked up, drawn from
the holster, handed to, or received from another person.
3. Never point the firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
4. Never cock the hammer of the firearm unless you are ready to immediately
shoot it. Do not even insert your finger in the trigger guard until you are ready
to shoot.
5. Avoid dry firing even with dummy cartridges, unless the same is performed
on a regular target range or at a known inanimate target.
6. When holding the firearm that is ready to fire, be absolutely certain that it is
not pointed at any part of your body or at any person within your immediate
vicinity.
7. Beware of obstructions in barrel. If, when firing, a weak or peculiar report is
heard, cease firing and inspect the barrel for an obstruction. Remove magazine
then check to insure there is no obstruction in barrel or chamber.
8. When a misfire or a “dud” is experienced keep the rifle pointed at the target
for at least ten seconds before inspecting the firearm. A delayed firing may
occur.
9. Remove magazine and ensure chamber and barrel are free of foreign objects.
10. When possible, wear shooting glasses and hearing protectors when firing.
11. Do not shoot at a hard surface, or water for the bullet can glance off and
travel in unpredictable directions with considerable velocity.
12. Avoid drinking alcoholic beverages when handling the firearm.
