Manual

14. Never fire any semi-automatic firearm with your finger, hand, face, or other part of your body over or adjacent
to the ejection port, or in any position where you may be struck by the reciprocating movement of the operating
rod or bolt. Both the ejection of empty cartridge cases and the movement of the operating rod and bolt are part
of the normal operating cycle of semi-automatic firearms and pose no safety hazard to the shooter if the firearm
is held in a normal grip and fired at arms' length as intended by its design.
All firearms require periodic maintenance and inspection which may reveal a need for adjustment or repair.
Have your firearm checked by a competent gunsmith annually even if it seems to be working well, since
breakage, improper functioning, undue wear, or corrosion of some components may not be apparent from
external examination. If you notice ANY mechanical malfunction, DO NOT continue to use the firearm. UNLOAD
the firearm and take it to a competent gunsmith immediately. Similarly, if water, sand, or other foreign matter
enters the internal mechanism, the firearm should be dismantled for complete and thorough cleaning. Failure
to keep your firearm clean and in proper working order can lead to a potentially dangerous condition.
ALWAYS POINT YOUR GUN IN A SAFE DIRECTION.
