LOADING PROCEDURES
E
Never attempt to fi re your carbine in any
other direction than a safe shooting direc-
tion.
Attempting to pull the trigger when the
safety is on will damage or strain the
mechanism and possibly make it unsafe.
CAUTION!!
ALWAYS use due caution.
ALWAYS wear and encourage others near
you to wear ear protection when shooting,
especially on a range.
Without ear protection, the noise from your
gun, and other guns close to you, could le-
ave a “ringing” in the ears for some time
after fi ring.
Repeated exposure to shooting noise
could result in permanent hearing loss.
CAUTION!!
ALWAYS wear safety glasses while shoo-
ting to protect your eyes from injury cau-
sed by gun powder, hot gases, lubricant,
dirt or metallic particles, carbon residue,
sparks or other debris.
Failure to wear safety glasses can cause
injury to your eyes.
ALWAYS wear safety glasses when disas-
sembling and cleaning any gun to prevent
the possibility of springs, spring tension
parts, solvents, or other agents from ente-
ring and irritating your eyes.
WARNING!!
Don’t load the carbine until you will be re-
ady to shoot.
Read the warnings carefully. Keep the muz-
zle pointed in a safe direction at all times.
Always keep your fi nger off the trigger until
you are ready to shoot.
CAUTION!!
Use only factory new ammunition.
The materials that make up the carbine,
have been chosen based on the pressures
developed by factory new ammunition.
The dimensions of the rifl ing and of the
chamber have been chosen based on the
dimensions of factory new ammunition.
CAUTION!!
For the carbine to function properly, it is
necessary to use ammunition with a speed
higher than 400 MPS (1300 FPS).
This allows the bolt to recoil with adequate
speed necessary to eject the empty case
and insert a new one.
The use of cartridges with lower speeds
than that advised by F.lli Pietta, will cau-
se malfunction of the carbine, and conti-
nuous jamming at every shot.
CAUTION!!
