TO LOAD AND FIRE (WITH MAGAZINE)
3.0. Handling
3.1. Important Instructions
• Before manipulating the weapon, ensure the safety lever is
in the “S” (SAFE) position and the trigger guard is in the
closed position.
• Use only factory-new ammunition which corresponds to
the caliber of the weapon.
• During all manipulations of the rifle, point the weapon in
a safe direction.
• Do not place your finger on the trigger until the target has
been verified and you intend to shoot.
• Do not load the weapon until immediately before use.
• Unload weapon immediately after shooting is finished.
• Remove the bolt carrier assembly and magazine from the
weapon prior to transportation.
Never carry the rifle loaded with the
safety lever in the “F” (FIRE) position. If
dropped or struck with the safety off (“F”),
the rifle may fire. Such a discharge can
occur with or without the trigger being
directly struck or touched. Never rest a
loaded rifle against any object (wall, tree,
fence, vehicle, etc.) because there is
always the possibility that the rifle will be
jarred or slide from its position and fall
with sufficient force to discharge. Keep
the safety lever on “S” (SAFE) unless
actually firing.
ANY GUN MAY FIRE IF DROPPED
