WARNING! SAFETIES ARE MECHANICAL DEVICES THAT MAY FAIL
OR MALFUNCTION LIKE ANY OTHER MECHANICAL DEVICE!
ALWAYS HANDLE THE SHOTGUN CAREFULLY AND DO NOT PER-
MIT THE SHOTGUN TO POINT IN AN UNSAFE DIRECTION!
ALWAYS TREAT THE SHOTGUN AS IF IT WERE LOADED AND
READY TO FIRE! ALWAYS OBSERVE SAFETY RULES WHEN HAN-
DLING THE SHOTGUN! THE SAFETY SHOULD ALWAYS BE IN THE
“SAFE” POSITION EXCEPT WHEN THE SHOOTER IS ACTUALLY
FIRING THE GUN. THE SAFETY SHOULD BE MOVED TO THE
“SAFE” POSITION WHENEVER THE SHOOTER CEASES FIRING,
EVEN TEMPORARILY. KEEP THE MUZZLE OF THE FIREARM
POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AT ALL TIMES!
When the safety is indexed forward to its most forward position the firearm is
in its firing mode. In this condition the trigger(s) can be pulled to fire the
shotgun. The letter "S" inscribed on the tang of the receiver will be covered
and obscured from view in this condition.
When you are not using your shotgun, be sure your gun is pointed in a safe
direction, avoid contact with the trigger and make sure the safety is in its
“Safe” position to prevent accidental discharge. Maintain the firearm safety
in the "Safe" position at all times, unless you are actually firing the gun.
