Owner’s Manual 2016

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
As a firearm owner, you accept a set of demanding responsibilities. How
seriously you take these responsibilities can be the difference between life
and death.
There is no excuse for careless or abusive handling of any firearm. At all
times handle this firearm and all other firearms with intense respect for
their power and potential danger.
Please read and understand all of the cautions, warnings, notices, proper
handling procedures and instructions outlined in this owner’s manual
before using your new firearm.
1 ALWAYS KEEP THE MUZZLE OF YOUR FIREARM
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION EVEN THOUGH YOU
ARE CERTAIN IT IS UNLOADED.
Never point any firearm at anything you do not intend to shoot.
Be extremely alert and aware of all persons and property within
the range of your ammunition.
2 NEVER RELY TOTALLY ON YOUR FIREARM’S
MECHANICAL SAFETY DEVICES. LIKE ANY MECHANICAL
DEVICE, A SAFETY CAN SOMETIMES FAIL; IT CAN BE
JARRED OR INADVERTENTLY MANIPULATED INTO AN
UNSAFE CONDITION.
The word safety describes a firearm’s trigger block mechanism,
sear block mechanism, hammer block mechanism or striker block
mechanism. Mechanical safeties are designed to place your firearm in
a safer status, and no guarantee can be made that the firearm will not
fire even if the safety is in the on safe position. Mechanical safeties
merely aid safe gun handling and are no excuse for pointing your
firearm’s muzzle in an unsafe direction. See Section 8
