USE OF THE SAFETY: TWO POSITION
The safety on the Model 1500 rifle consists of a
knurled lever on the right side of the receiver
immediately to the rear of the bolt handle. When
"on", it locks the trigger. Its purpose is to prevent
firing if the trigger is pressed inadvertently. It should
not be relied upon to prevent accidental discharge
from other causes. See page 13.
A. The safety is "on" when the lever (15) is
pushed fully rearward, covering the red indicator
dot in the stock.
B. The safety is "off" when the lever is pushed
forward, uncovering the red indicator dot (16).
Do not carry the rifle with a cartridge loaded in
the chamber without first placing the safety "on".
Keep the safety "on" until you are ready to fire and
the rifle is pointed at the target.
Note: The safety can be placed "on" only when
the rifle is cocked, I.e., ready to fire (Fig. 4). You
can see whether it is cocked from the position of
the cocking piece (11). When cocked, the rear of
the cocking piece protrudes from the back of the
bolt sleeve (12).
