little more in your family’s safety.
USED SHOTGUNS - If you got your Cheetah12 shotgun as a used gun,
BEFORE USING IT you should unload it and check all its functions to be sure
it works correctly. Shotguns are sometimes altered to work incorrectly, or parts
may be removed, lost or replaced with incorrect parts. First, unload it and
check it yourself and then take it to a good gunsmith who knows Cheetah12
shotguns, and have him examine it.
WRITE US concerning any items or circumstances which you don’t understand
and which might relate to your safety and the operation of your shotgun.
W A R N I N G
BEFORE LOADING or firing a shotgun, examine the bore and the firing
chamber to be certain they are clean and free of any obstruction. Even a heavy
coat of oil, grease, snow or water may result in damage to the shotgun and
injury to the shooter and/or persons near the shotgun. A misfire or unusual
sound upon firing is a signal to cease firing and to examine the chamber and
bore. If there is any obstruction, clear the obstruction and clean the bore and
chamber before firing.
FIRING WARNING
When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times. Shooters
and spectators must wear shooting glasses and sound suppressor to prevent
eye injury and hearing loss. Vision loss and hearing impairment can occur
with only one moment of non-protection.
W A R N I N G
Any bore obstruction, even if it is only partly blocked, may cause the gun to
blow up if it is fired, or may cause damage to the gun such as a bulged barrel.
To avoid injury or death to the shooter or bystanders, check the barrel before
shooting or if a shot does not sound normal.
W A R N I N G
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to load or
unload any shotgun inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except
a properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no
completely safe direction in which to point the shotgun. If an accidental
discharge occurs, there is great risk of injury or property damage. Before
loading, always clean all, grease and oil from the bore and chamber, and check
to be certain that no obstruction is in the barrel. Any foreign matter in the barrel
could result in a bulged or burst barrel or other damage to the shotgun and
could cause serious injury to the shooter or to others.
