PROTECT YOUR EYES AND EARS (See Picture 2)
Always wear adequate shooting glasses and ear plugs or ear protectors when you are shooting.
Always make certain that persons close to you are wearing similar protections. Unprotected eyes may be injured by powder gas,
carbon residues, lubricants, metallic particles or similar debris which may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use.
Moreover, without ear protection, repeated exposure to shooting noise may lead to permanent hearing loss.
AMMUNITION
1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured shotgun shells, complying with CIP requirements or other similar national
standards. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded, malformed or damaged. Do not oil cartridges or spray aerosol type
lubricants, preservatives or cleaners directly onto cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges.
Lubricants and other foreign materials on cartridges can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunitions
of the gauge or caliber for which the firearm was chambered.
2. The use of reloaded, "remanufactured", hand-loaded or other non-standard ammunition voids all warranties. Improperly loaded
ammunition can be extremely dangerous and may cause severe damage to the firearm and serious injury to the shooter or to others.
Always use ammunition that complies with the industry performance standards established by CIP or other equivalent national
bodies for other countries.
3. Firearms may be severely damaged and serious injury to the shooter or to others may result from any condition causing excessive
pressure inside the chamber or barrel during firing.
Excessive pressure can be caused by obstructions in the barrel, propellant powder overloads or by the use of incorrect or defectively
assembled cartridges.
In addition, the use of a dirty, corroded or damaged cartridge can lead to a burst cartridge case and consequent damage to the
firearm and personal injury from the sudden escape of high-pressure propellant gas from the firearm's mechanism.
4. If:
• You have difficulty or feel unusual resistance in chambering a cartridge, or
• A cartridge misfires or does not go off, or
• The mechanism fails to extract a fired cartridge case, or
• Unburned grains of propellant powder are discovered spilled in the mechanism, or
• A shot sounds weak or abnormal, immediately stop shooting and check for possible obstructions in the barrels. In such cases it
is possible that a wad is lodged part way down the barrel. Firing a subsequent shot into the obstructed barrel can wreck the firearm
and cause serious injury to the shooter or to bystanders.
• If there is any reason to suspect that something is obstructing the barrel (this can be anything – dirt, mud, snow, sand, water, a
