any unburned powder grains from the bore, chambers and mechanism before
resuming shooting. If the blockage cannot be dislodged by tapping it with a cleaning
rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.
W A R N I N G (EYE AND EAR PROTECTION)
When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times. Shooters
and spectators must wear shooting glasses and hearing protection to prevent
eye injury and hearing loss. Vision and hearing impairment can occur with only
one moment of non-protection.
W A R N I N G (Mechanical Malfunctions)
STOP SHOOTING IMMEDIATELY AND UNLOAD YOUR FIREARM if your firearm
develops: a mechanical malfunction; binding or stoppage; spitting powder/gas; a
punctured cartridge primer; a bulged or ruptured cartridge case; or the sound on
firing does not sound quite right. Do NOT try one more shot but unload your
firearm and take it and the ammunition to a qualified gunsmith or send it back to
European American Armory Corp. for examination. Do not assume that the shotgun
is empty merely because you checked the chamber. You must also check the
bore for any fired shot or wad jammed inside the barrel.
BASIC PARTS OF YOUR SHOTGUN
EXTERNAL CONTROL PARTS:
Trigger Block Safety: The safety mechanism of the shotgun provides protection
against accidental and unintentional discharge under normal usage when properly
engaged and in good working order. The safety mechanism is not a substitute for
following the rules of safe gun handling. Do not disengage the safety unless you
are ready to fire the shotgun. MAKE SURE YOU
UNDERSTAND HOW THE SAFETY WORKS
BEFORE YOU LOAD OR USE THE SHOTGUN.
The safety mechanism is a tang-style safety located
behind the top lever. See Figure 6. To place the
safety in the “on” or “safe” position, pull the button
all the way to the rear. When in the “on” or “safe”
position, the safety blocks the rearward motion of
the trigger(s). To place the safety in the “off” or “fire”
position, push the slide button all the way forward.
When in the “off” or “fire” position, a red dot is
exposed behind the slide button. You have now
disengaged the safety and the shotgun is in the
ready-to-fire position. See Figure 7.
