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:
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 muzzle pointed at a safe direction. Watch the muzzle at all
time: never point a gun, accidentally or intentionally, at any person or anything
you do not intend to shoot. Identify the target before shooting; do not shoot at
sounds.
2. Always treat a gun as if it is loaded – it may be!
3. Keep your finger off the trigger while operating the action and at all other
times until you are ready to shoot.
4. Keep the safety “on” or in the “safe” position at all times until you are ready
to fire. Do not rely on your gun’s safety, the safety on any gun is a mechanical
device and is not intended as a substitute for common sense or safe gun
handling.
5. Learn how your gun functions and handles. If you do not thoroughly
understand the proper use and care of your gun, seek the advice of someone
who is knowledgeable.
6. Do not alter or modify any part of the firearm.
7. Store guns unloaded, separate from any ammunition, and out of the reach of
children.
8. Be sure the barrels is clear of any obstructions before loading. Make it a habit
to check the barrel every time before loading.
9. Be sure you have and use the proper ammunition. A 20 gauge shell will enter
a 12 gauge chamber far enough so that a 12 gauge shell can be loaded behind
it. Also, a 3 inch shell may fit into a 2 ¾ inch chamber, but the crimp at the
mouth of the shell will unfold into the forcing cone. If either of these things
occur and you fire the gun, the gun will explode, damaging the gun and possibly
causing serious injury or death to you and those around you.
WARNING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE ANY FIREARM WITHOUT HAVING A COMPLETE
UNDERSTANDING OF ITS PARTICULAR CHARACTERISTICS AND SAFE USE.
10. Wear protective shooting glasses and adequate ear protection when
shooting.
11. Never climb or jump over anything, such as a tree, fence, or ditch, with a
loaded gun. Open the barrel, remove the shells and hand the gun to someone
else or place it on the ground on the other side of the obstacle before crossing
it yourself. Do not lean a gun against a tree or other object; it could fall and
possibly discharge.
12. Do not shoot at a hard surface or at water. Bullet shot can ricochet or
bounce off and travel in unpredictable directions with great velocity.
13. Never transport a loaded gun. Do not place a loaded gun into a vehicle. The
gun should be unloaded and placed into a case when not in use.
14. Never drink alcoholic beverages before or during shooting.
