General Safety Rules
Your new Blaser Drilling D 99 is
characterised by special design features,
making it very different from other
three-barrelled guns. The enhanced safety
features of your Blaser rifle should never
induce you to ignore the necessary care and
legal provisions with respect to handling
arms.
Please check first, whether you have the
correct operating instructions: The model
name D 99/D 99 Duo or D 99 Trio is marked
on the left side of the barrel, at the back.
CAUTION:
Please read these operating instructions
completely, before using the rifle. Only hand
on the rifle together with the operating
instructions.
Please ask your specialised dealer
for an in-depth explanation of your
rifle and instruction in its use, as a
supporting measure to these operating
instructions.
General safety rules for handling
firearms
• Ensure that firearm and ammunition
never pass into the hands of
unautho rised persons.
• Always keep firearm and ammunition
separate, in a secured unit and
inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
• Observe applicable legal provisions
for carrying and storing arms and
ammunition.
• Familiarise yourself thoroughly with the
handling of your firearm and practise all
functions and actions with the firearm
unloaded, before starting to carry and
use it.
• Consider every firearm as loaded and
ready to fire, unless you have convinced
yourself of the contrary by opening
the action and checking the chamber
(barrel). Even when unloaded, a firearm
has to be handled like a loaded firearm.
• During any handling, always hold the
muzzle in a direction where you can
neither jeopardise nor damage persons
or property.
• Before loading the firearm, always
check, whether there are oil residues
or other foreign matter in the chamber
or barrel. Oil residues in chamber or
barrel may cause distinct shifts in the
point of impact! Foreign matter in the
barrel (e.g. water, snow, soil) may cause
a detonation of the barrel, leading to
severe injuries of the shooter or persons
in the vicinity! Ensure that no foreign
matter can enter the barrel, also during
use!
