x Use the proper ammunition.
The barrel and the breech block of this carbine have been made with
substantial safety margins over the pressures developed by the
5.7 x 28 mm ammunition especially conceived by FN HERSTAL.
However, FN HERSTAL / FN AMERICA assumes no liability for
accidents which occur through the use of rounds of different caliber
or not fabricated according to the FN HERSTAL standards.
FN HERSTAL / FN AMERICA cannot assume any responsibility for
the use of unsafe or improper arms and ammunition combinations. It
is your responsibility to read and heed all warnings in this owner’s
manual and on ammunition boxes.
x Only use specially coated factory loaded ammunition.
The use of any non-factory loaded and coated ammunition can result
in pressures leading to personal injury as well as to damage to the
firearm.
x Examine every round you put in your FN PS90
®
Carbine.
Your FN PS90
®
Carbine is designed and chambered for 5.7 x 28 mm
rounds. The chambering for your carbine is printed clearly on the
frame and the barrel.
Failure to use correct ammunition may result in serious injury to
yourself or others.
x Before dry-firing, visually and physically check if the chamber
is empty.
x Be certain your carbine is completely unloaded before
cleaning.
Because so many gun accidents occur when a firearm is being
cleaned, special and extreme care should be taken to be sure your
carbine 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 Always completely unload your carbine when not in use.
Your responsibilities do not end when your firearm is unattended.
Store your carbine and ammunition separately and well beyond the
reach of children.
Take all safeguards to ensure that your carbine does not become
available to untrained, inexperienced or unwelcome hands.
At all times, comply with the local and state laws.
For law enforcement personnel, refer to the procedures of your
department on storing your carbine.
x Make sure of adequate ventilation in the area that you
discharge a firearm. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure to
ammunition or cleaning a firearm.
Lead exposure can be obtained from discharging firearms in poorly
ventilated areas, cleaning firearms or handling ammunition. Lead is a
substance that has been known to cause birth defects, reproductive
harm and other serious injury.
