General Hints

3
• Always be aware of other people around you. Keep spectators or others to your rear. Keep
hands and face clear and keep others clear of the ejection port as ejected spent cartridges can
cause injury. To prevent burns or injury from the slide moving forward, make sure your hand
and fingers do not touch or obstruct the ejection port.
STORAGE
• Make sure your gun is not loaded before cleaning, storing or traveling and the magazine is
removed with slide-latched open before laying it down, and/or handing it to another person.
• Store your unloaded firearm and ammunitions separately and in places inaccessible to
unauthorized persons and/or children.
• Do not encase your firearm in anything which will attract or hold moisture.
• The internal mechanism should be oiled after use and periodically during storage, with an acid-
free lubricating oil, while the external mechanism plus frame and barrel should be coated with
anti rust oil.
• Before using your gun, be sure to clean it and to check it for signs of wear or defects.
• If your firearm is to be used or stored in a cold climate, be sure to use oil, which will not freeze,
at low temperatures.
• After use, the stock and wood parts must be cleaned with a soft woolen cloth and film covered
with linen oil for wood.
