4 Do not snap the firing pin on an empty chamber: the chamber
may not be empty!
Treat every pistol with the respect due to a loaded pistol, even though
you are certain the pistol is unloaded.
4 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.
4 Dropping your FNP-9 when loaded can cause an accidental
discharge even with the hammer in the decocked position.
Be extremely careful while hunting or during any shooting activity, to
avoid dropping any firearm.
4 Always completely unload your pistol’s chamber before
crossing a fence, climbing a tree, jumping a ditch or
negotiating other obstacles.
Never place your pistol on a car or on any unstable object.
For law enforcement and military personnel, refer to the procedures of
your department.
4 If your FNP-9 fails to fire, keep the muzzle pointed in a
safe direction.
Hold this position for a minimum of 30 seconds. Remove the magazine.
Carefully open the slide and remove the cartridge.
If the primer is indented, the cartridge should be disposed of in a way
that it cannot cause harm.
If the primer is not indented, completely unload the pistol. Your firearm
should be examined by a qualified gunsmith and the cause of the
malfunction should be corrected before further use.
