ries or damage to the air gun.
We do not assume any liability for damages caused by a failure

The important safety information is labeled. Be sure to read this
information in order to prevent accidents and damage to the air
gun:
A loaded air gun is a potentially hazardous object. If it is not
handled carefully, it can cause serious injuries with lasting
physical damage. Therefore, please note the following:
Never rely on the safety! Always handle the air gun as if it were
loaded.
Never hold your hand in front of the muzzle.
Be sure that the muzzle is always pointing in a safe direction.
Never aim it at people or animals.
Only load the air gun immediately before shooting. Never put
down a loaded air gun. Never transport a loaded gun.
Diabolos can ricochet off of hard surfaces and cause serious
injuries.
You and your companion should always wear protective
glasses while shooting.
Ensure an adequate backstop.
