wad etc.) immediately unload the firearm and look through both bores. It is not sufficient to merely look in the chambers. An obstruction
may be lodged some distance down the barrel, where it can not easily be seen.
IF SOMETHING IS IN THE BORE, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY USING AN OTHER CARTRIDGE OR BY BLOWING
IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A SHELL FROM WHICH THE SHOT HAS BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN GENERATE
EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY.
• Dirt corrosion or other foreign matter on a cartridge can impede complete chambering and may cause the cartridge case to burst
upon firing. The same is true of cartridges that are damaged or deformed.
• Do not oil cartridges and be sure to wipe the chamber clean of any oil or preservative before commencing to shoot. Oil interferes
with the friction between cartridge case and the chamber wall that is necessary for safe functioning and subjects the firearm to
stress similar to that imposed by excessive pressure.
• Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any aerosol gun care product, especially
where it may get on ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray lubricants in particular can penetrate cartridge primers and cause
misfires. Some highly penetrative lubricants can also migrate inside the shell cases and cause deterioration of the propellant powder:
on firing, the powder may not ignite. If only the primer ignites, there is the danger that the wad may become lodged in the barrel.
WARNING!
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms or handling ammunitions may result in exposure to lead and other
substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm and other serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all
times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
HOW TO OPERATE THE SAFETY – WARNING!
Prior to firing, know and understand the operation of the safety by practising with the shotgun unloaded.
The safety is a rectangular sliding switch located on the tang of the action, directly behind the top lever of the shotgun, which slides
forward and backward. When the switch is at the rear end of its travel, the letter "S" appears immediately in front of the switch (see
Picture 3). This means that the shotgun will not fire when the trigger is pulled. When the switch is in its forward-most position, the "S"
is covered, which means the shotgun is NOT ON SAFE and will fire when the trigger is pulled. (see Picture 4).
Warning
The safety switch on your shotgun, may be automatic. In other words, it automatically goes to the SAFE position when the shotgun
breech is opened. Never try to put the safety switch between the SAFE and FIRE positions. Unless the safety is positioned all the
way forward or all the way to the rear, you can not be certain whether it is on SAFE or FIRE.
The safest way to carry this shotgun is WITH NO shells in the chamber. If you feel that you must carry the shotgun with shells in the
chambers, then the safety MUST BE ON SAFE ("S"). When you are ready to fire, the safety can quickly be moved to the FIRE position.
The only time when the safety should be placed in the FIRE position is when you intend to shoot.
