SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION
THE COMPONENTS OF THIS AIRGUN WERE ENGINEERED AND MANUFACTURED TO DELIVER
OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE. ANY MODIFICATION OR TAMPERING WITH AN AIRGUN MAY CAUSE
A MALFUNCTION, VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND MAY MAKE IT UNSAFE TO USE. ANY CHANGE
IN PERFORMANCE (SUCH AS A LOWERED TRIGGER PULL FORCE 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 always 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.
• 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.
• Always check to see if the airgun is “ON SAFE” and unloaded when
getting it from another person or from storage.
• Use only the proper size and type of projectile as it is marked on the airgun.
• Never reuse ammunition.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or at the surface of water. The BB may
bounce off or ricochet and hit someone or something you had not intended to hit.
• 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.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or tamper with your airgun. Unauthorized
repairs or modifying the function of your airgun in any way may be unsafe
and will void your warranty.
• Before you store your airgun, make sure it is unloaded, the CO
2
capsule is
removed, and is “ON SAFE.”
• Always store your airgun in a secure location away from unauthorized
users and separate from ammunition.
