Owner’s Manual 2016

x Treat every carbine with the respect due to a loaded gun, even

though you are certain the gun is unloaded !

x Keep your fingers away from the trigger while unloading,

loading and removing the magazine.

Only touch the trigger when you are ready to shoot.

x Be sure of your target and backstop.

Take additional care during low light periods. Know the range of your

ammunition. Never shoot at water or hard objects.

x Dropping your FN PS90

or any other gun when loaded can

cause an accidental discharge.

Although the FN PS90

Carbine has been provided with a special

safety device to prevent firing when it is accidentally dropped on its

compensator (even when it is cocked), be extremely careful, like with

any other firearm, to avoid dropping the carbine.

x Always set the fire selector at the position ‘S’ (safe) before

crossing a fence, climbing a tree, jumping a ditch or

negotiating other obstacles with a loaded and/or cocked

carbine.

Never place your carbine on a car or on any unstable object.

For law enforcement personnel, refer to the procedures of your

department.

x If your FN PS90

fails to fire, keep the muzzle pointed in a

safe direction.

Hold this position for a minimum of 30 seconds. Remove the

magazine. Carefully pull the cocking handle rearward and remove the

round.

If the primer is indented, the round should be disposed of in a way

that it cannot cause harm.

If the primer is not indented, completely unload the carbine. Your

carbine should be examined by a FN Recommended Service Center /

your departmental armorer and the cause of the malfunction should

be corrected before further use.

x Wear eye and ear protection when shooting.

Unprotected, repeated exposure to gunfire can cause hearing

damage. Wear ear protectors (shooting earplugs or muffs) to guard

against such damage.

Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles.

Always keep a safe distance between the muzzle of your firearm and

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

inflict serious injury.

Also, wear eye protection when disassembling and cleaning your

carbine to prevent the possibility of springs, spring-tensioned parts,

solvents or other agents from contacting your eyes.
