IF SOMETHING IS LODGED IN THE BARREL,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SHOOT IT OUT BY
USING ANOTHER CARTRIDGE OR BY
BLOWING IT OUT WITH A BLANK OR A SHELL
FROM WHICH THE SHOT HAS BEEN
REMOVED. SUCH TECHNIQUES CAN
GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, DAMAGE
THE FIREARM AND CAUSE SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY.
5. Dirt, corrosion or other foreign matter on a cartridge
can impede complete chambering and may cause
the cartridge case to burst upon firing. The same is
true of cartridges that are damaged or deformed.
6. Do not oil cartridges and be sure to wipe the
chamber clean of any oil or preservative before
commencing to shoot. Oil interferes with the friction
between the cartridge case and the chamber wall
that is necessary for safe functioning and subjects
the firearm to stress similar to that imposed by
excessive pressure.
7. Use lubricants sparingly on the moving parts of your
firearm. Avoid excessive spraying of any aerosol gun
care product, especially where it may get on
ammunition. All lubricants and aerosol spray
lubricants in particular can penetrate cartridge
primers and cause misfires. Some highly penetrative
lubricants can also migrate inside the shell cases
and cause deterioration of the propellant powder;
resulting in misfires. If only the primer ignites, there
is the danger that the wad may become lodged in
the barrel.
WARNING!
DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN POORLY
VENTILATED AREAS, CLEANING FIREARMS
OR HANDLING AMMUNITION MAY RESULT
IN EXPOSURE TO LEAD AND OTHER
SUBSTANCES KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH
DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE HARM AND OTHER
SERIOUS PHYSICAL INJURY. HAVE
ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES.
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER
EXPOSURE.
SECTION 2
BASIC FUNCTIONS
HOW TO OPERATE THE SAFETY – WARNING!
Prior to firing, know and understand the operation of
the safety by practicing with the shotgun unloaded.
The safety is a rectangular sliding switch located on
the tang of the action, directly behind the top lever of
the shotgun, which slides forward and backward.
When the switch is at the rear end of its travel, the
letter “S” appears immediately in front of the switch
(see FIGURE 1). This means that the shotgun will not
fire when the trigger is pulled. When the switch is in
its forward-most position, the “S” is covered and the
red dot is exposed. This means the shotgun is NOT
ON SAFE and will fire when the trigger is pulled.
(see FIGURE 2).
