SAFETY WARNINGS
Ear and eye protection: Use ear plugs or earmuff-type protectors to guard you against cumulative,
permanent hearing loss as a result of continuous exposure to shooting noise.
Shooting glasses will guard you against powder, gas, carbon residue, lubricant, metallic particles or
similar debris that may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use
Always make sure that anyone near you is also wearing ear and eye protection.
Safety mechanism:
1. Your firearm has an effective, well-designed safety mechanism. However, theres no safety mecha
nism capable of substituting your common sense and good safety procedures. No safety can
guard you against horseplay, carelessness, or improper use. It may become ineffective by break
age or malfunction due to abusive use, incorrect assembly, or unauthorized adjustments.
2. While handling any firearm, never allow it to point at any part of your body or at another person.
No harm should result if you obey this rule, even if an accidental discharge occurs.
3. The safety mechanism should be on until you are actually aiming at the target ready to shoot
4. When turning the safety ON or OFF, point the muzzle in a safe direction and keep your finger off
the trigger.
5. Be sure to put the safety in the correct position or it will not be effective. Some firearms have a red
warning dot next to the safety which should be totally covered when the safety is on.
6. Do not carry the firearm loaded without the safety on (Double action revolvers and some double
action pistols have an automatic internal safety mechanism instead of a manual one).
