FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR
LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE
pull,because it may affect sear engagement and may cause accidental firing.
Do NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety
mechanisms are designed to help protect you from personal injury or death.
Maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep in a dry place away from other metals
and water. If your gun shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have it
serviced by a competent gunsmith.
Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading your
gun. Never point the muzzle at anyone.
Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water....bullets ricochet.
If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the
target for 60 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition may cause a delay in full
ignition of the cartridge. If it after 60 seconds, the cartridge does not fire, keep
the muzzle pointed in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you
attempt to unload your firearm.
Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure
the barrel is free of any obstruction.
Since many ammunition identifications sound similar, be sure that you use only
the correct ammunition for your gun. Do NOT use the wrong size or wrong
strength ammunition in your firearm.
Repeated and prolonged exposure to gunfire may cause toxic levels of lead in
your body. High levels of lead in the blood may result in cancer, impotency,
birth defects and other serious physical injury. When shooting indoors, make
sure there is proper fresh air ventilation.
Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or any
explosive device and 2. That if they discover such a dangerous item or weapon,
they must immediately report its location to their parents, school teacher or
police.
Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone
else. Be careful with your firearm — an accident is almost always the result of
not following basic safety rules.
