4. Loading Your Air Rie
6. Aiming at a Safe Target
5. Closing the Barrel
OPERATION
Firmly grasp the barrel behind the front
sight, return the barrel to its original
closed and latched position.
Always aim your air rie in a SAFE DIRECTION. Always choose your target
carefully. It is best to shoot at a paper bullseye target which is attached to a safe
backstop. A heavy blanket should be hung behind the target backstop to prevent
ricochet should you miss the backstop. Think about what you will hit if you miss
the target.
THE UMAREX
®
FORGE AIR RIFLE has open sights. Air ries with this type of
sight are correctly aimed when the front sight blade is positioned exactly in the
notch of the rear sight. The top of
the front sight blade should be even
with the top of the notch in the rear
sight. The bullseye should appear
to rest on the top of the front sight
(illustration 6).
USE ONLY .177 (4,5 MM) CALIBER PELLETS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REUSE PELLETS THAT
HAVE BEEN FIRED OR ARE DEFORMED. DO NOT USE BUCK SHOT, DARTS, BALL BEARINGS,
OR OTHER FOREIGN OBJECTS BECAUSE THEY CAN CAUSE INJURY TO YOU OR SOMEONE
ELSE OR MAY DAMAGE AND/OR JAM THE AIRGUN.
CAUTION
BE CAREFUL TO KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF COCKING MECHANISM (SEE “PINCH POINTS”,
ILLUSTRATION 5). GRASP THE BARREL FIRMLY AS YOU COCK IT AND CLOSE IT TO PREVENT IT
