W A R N I N G
BEFORE LOADING or firing a firearm, examine the bore and the firing chamber to
be certain they are clean and free of any obstruction. Even a heavy coat of oil,
grease, snow or water may result in damage to the firearm and injury to the shooter
and/or persons near the firearm. A misfire or unusual sound upon firing is a signal
to cease firing and to examine the chamber and bore. If there is any obstruction,
clear the obstruction and clean the bore and chamber before firing.
FIRING WARNING
When shooting, full eye and ear protection is mandatory at all times. Shooters
and spectators must wear shooting glasses and sound suppressor to prevent
eye injury and hearing loss. Vision loss and hearing impairment can occur with
only one moment of non-protection.
W A R N I N G
Any bore obstruction, even if it is only partly blocked, may cause the gun to blow
up if it is fired, or may cause damage to the gun such as a bulged barrel. To
avoid injury or death to the shooter or bystanders, check the barrel before
shooting or if a shot does not sound normal.
W A R N I N G
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction! Never attempt to load or
unload any firearm inside a vehicle, building or other confined space (except a
properly constructed shooting range). Enclosed areas frequently offer no
completely safe direction in which to point the firearm. If an accidental
discharge occurs, there is great risk of injury or property damage. Before
loading, always clean all, grease and oil from the bore and chamber, and check
to be certain that no obstruction is in the barrel. Any foreign matter in the barrel
could result in a bulged or burst barrel or other damage to the firearm and could
cause serious injury to the shooter or to others.
W A R N I N G
If there is any reason to suspect that a bullet or projectile is obstructing the
barrel, immediately unload the firearm (See Unloading Instructions) and check
the chamber and the bore. A bullet may be lodged some distance down the
barrel where it can not easily be seen. Check the bore by using a cleaning rod
to pass through the barrel. If a blockage is in the bore, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
SHOOT IT OUT WITH ANOTHER CARTRIDGE, OR BLOW IT OUT WITH A
BLANK CARTRIDGE OR A CARTRIDGE FROM WHICH THE BULLET HAS
BEEN REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUE(S) CAN GENERATE EXCESSIVE
PRESSURE, DAMAGE THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY. If the blockage can be removed with a cleaning rod, clean any
unburned powder grains from the bore, chambers & mechanism before
resuming shooting. If the blockage can not be dislodged by tapping it with a
cleaning rod, take the firearm to a gunsmith.
