Manual

To protect yourself and others from injury, use the correct ammunition

referenced by the markings on the barrel. Auto-Ordnance firearms are

designed, manufactured and proof tested to recommended Sporting

Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers Institute (SAAMI) standards for

factory loaded ammunition. We specifically disclaim responsibility for

any damage or injury whatsoever occurring in connection with, or as the result of,

the use in Auto-Ordnance firearms of cartridges other than those for which the

firearm was originally chambered. Additionally, we disclaim any responsibility for

damage or injury which results from any modifications or changes that are not a

part of the firearm as delivered from the factory.

Learn how to clean your firearm thoroughly and make certain no oil,

grease or other materials are blocking the barrel. Obstructions of any

kind can cause damage to the firearm resulting in personal injury.

Practice proper firearm maintenance and safety. Make sure all exposed metal sur-

faces are coated with a thin film of oil, especially after being exposed to damp

weather. (See proper section of this manual for cleaning instructions). Before using

after storage, follow complete instructions stated in this manual for refamiliarization

with the firearm. A thorough inspection should be performed before shooting the

firearm.

Wear eye and ear protection when shooting. Shooting without proper

ear protection can cause hearing damage. The use of eye protection

during any type of shooting is important to protect your vision.

Never climb or jump over an obstacle with a loaded firearm. Never pull

a firearm toward you by the muzzle. Never shoot towards a flat, hard

surface or water. Always be sure of your target and what is beyond it.

When handling your firearm, never allow fingers or any object to touch

the trigger until you are ready to shoot.

The safety should always be “on” until you are ready to shoot. It is a

mechanical device and should never be used as an excuse for careless

handling or unsafe practices.

Make sure you read, understand and follow the firearm safety rules

that are listed in this manual.

The use of a locking device or safety lock is only one aspect of

responsible firearm storage. Firearms should be stored unloaded and

locked in a location that is both separate from their ammunition and

inaccessible to children and other unauthorized persons.
