A MALFUNCTION, VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND MAY MAKE IT UNSAFE TO USE. ANY CHANGE
IN PERFORMANCE (SUCH AS A LOWERED TRIGGER PULL FORGE AND SHORTENED TRIGGER
TRAVEL) INDICATES POSSIBLE MODIFICATION, TAMPERING AND/OR WEAR. SUCH AIR RIFLE
SHOULD BE INSPECTED, REPLACED, OR PROPERLY REPAIRED BY ONLY QUALIFIED UMAREX
USA PERSONNEL. ANY AIRGUN THAT HAS BEEN DROPPED SHOULD BE CHECKED BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL TO ENSURE THAT ITS FUNCTION HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED.
• You and others with you MUST wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes. If you
wear reading glasses the lenses must be certied for impact resistance or you should
wear safety glasses intended for use over normal optical reading glasses.
• Always aim in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always keep the muzzle of the airgun pointed in
a SAFE DIRECTION.
• Always keep your nger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until ready to shoot.
• Never point the airgun at anything you do not intend to shoot.
• Never point an airgun at people or pets.
• Always treat the airgun as though it is loaded and with the same respect you would
a rearm.
• Never look down the barrel of an airgun.
• Always keep the airgun “ON SAFE” until you are ready to shoot.

another person or from storage.
• Never leave a loaded airgun unattended.
• Use only the proper size and type of projectile as it is marked on the airgun.

• Do not shoot at fragile objects such as windows.
• Place the backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Your backstop should be checked for wear before and after each use. All backstops
are subject to wear and will eventually fail. Replace your backstop if the surface is
worn or damaged or if a ricochet occurs.

modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe and will void
your warranty.
• Before you store or transport your airgun, make sure it is unloaded and is “ON SAFE.”
• Always store your airgun in a secure location away from unauthorized users and
separate from ammunition.
• Only persons who are thoroughly familiar with the airgun’s function and proper use
and who are allowed by law should handle the airgun.

on airguns.
