Owner’s Manual 2009

x Be defensive and on guard against unsafe gun handling around

you and others.

Don’t be timid when it comes to gun safety. If you observe other shooters

violating any of these safety precautions, politely suggest safer handling

practices.

x Be certain your firearm is unloaded before cleaning.

Because so many gun accidents occur when a firearm is being cleaned,

special and extreme care should be taken to ensure that your firearm is

unloaded before disassembly, cleaning and reassembly. Keep

ammunition away from the cleaning location. Never test the mechanical

function of any firearm with live ammunition.

x Teach and supervise firearms safety to all the members of your

family, especially to children and non-shooters.

Closely supervise newcomers to the shooting sports. Encourage

enrollment in hunting and shooting safety courses.

x Never drink alcoholic beverages or take any type of drug before

or during shooting.

Your vision, motor skills and judgment could be dangerously impaired,

making your gun handling unsafe to you and to others.

Read and heed all warnings in this Owner’s Manual, on the

ammunition boxes and with all the accessories that you

install on your firearm.

It is your responsibility to secure the most up-to-date

information on the safe handling procedures for your FN

HERSTAL / FNH USA firearm.

FN HERSTAL and FNH USA, LCC assume no liability for

incidents which occur when unsafe or improper pistol

accessories or ammunition combinations are used.
