ENGLISH
Always wear safety glasses when firing your STEYR AUG to
protect your eyes.
Always wear ear protection when firing your STEYR AUG to
protect your hearing.
Always be sure that your backstop is adequate to stop and
contain bullets before firing so that you do not hit anything outside of
the shooting range area. A bullet could travel through or past your tar-
get as far as 4 miles (approximately 6km). If in doubt, do not shoot.
Never shoot at a hard surface, such as a rock, or a liquid
surface, such as water, because a bullet may ricochet and travel in any
direction, striking you or someone else.
Always keep yourself and others clear of the ejection port
because spent cartridges are hot and are ejected with enough force to
cause injury. Never touch the barrel immediately after firing because it
may be hot and could cause burns.
Never place your fingers in the ejection port because they
could be injured by the movement of the bolt.
Never fire your STEYR AUG near an animal unless it is
trained to accept that noise. An animal’s startled reaction could injure
it, or cause an accident.
Always put a responsible and competent person in charge
to maintain safety, discipline and control when a group is firing at a
range, to reduce the likelihood of a negligent discharge.
Always carry your STEYR AUG unloaded with the bolt locked
open in the rearward position while on a range until preparing to fire.
Always keep the muzzle pointed towards the backstop when loading,
firing and unloading it.
