Owner’s Manual 2020

cannot assume any responsibility for injuries suffered or damage caused by

unauthorized servicing, alterations or modifications of FN firearms.

10. ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION WHEN

SHOOTING.

Unprotected, repeated exposure to gunfire can cause hearing damage.

Wear hearing protection (shooting earplugs or ear muffs) to guard

against such damage.

Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles. Allow

proper distance (also known as eye relief) between a scope and your

eye when firing a scoped pistol, rifle or shotgun. Do not use unorthodox

shooting methods that could cause the rearward travel of the slide or

bolt of a firearm to contact your eyes, face or hands. Always keep a

safe distance between the muzzle and ejection port of your firearm and

any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting shells could

inflict serious injury.

Always wear appropriate eye protection when disassembling and

cleaning your pistol to prevent the possibility of springs, spring-

tensioned parts, solvents or other agents from contacting your eyes.

11. AVOID DROPPING FIREARMS OR SHOOTING FROM

UNSTABLE POSITIONS.

Shooting from unstable positions is dangerous. Doing so increases the

risk of falling or dropping the firearms. The following rules should

always be observed. Always make certain that your firearm is unloaded

when climbing or navigating obstacles and ensure that the surface

that you are firing the pistol from is safe and stable. Dropping a pistol

from an elevated position increases the risk of damage or unintended

discharge.

DROPPING OR JARRING A LOADED FIREARM CAN CAUSE THE

FIREARM TO DISCHARGE. BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL DURING

ANY SHOOTING ACTIVITY OR WHEN CARRYING ANY FIREARM

TO AVOID DROPPING IT.
