5 HANDLING
Before use, acquaint yourself with the handling and function of your LP500 air pistol according to
this instruction manual.
This air pistol is a weapon and for this reason may only be used by persons who have completely
read and understood this instruction manual. It must be used with utmost caution and in compliance
with the safety instructions (Section 2) described in this instruction manual as well as government
regulations in your country. The pistol has optimized base settings out of the box; however, it can be
adapted to the individual requirements of the shooter (see Section 6).
5.1 Initial operation
The completely assembled pistol comes in a gun case. The accompanying compressed air cylinder
is empty and must be filled with compressed air as described in Section 6.2. Observe the speci-
fications and safety instructions associated with this section (see Section 6.1). Conduct a safety
inspection after filling and attaching the compressed air cylinder (see Section 5.2).
5.2 Conducting a safety inspection
Conduct a safety inspection before and after shooting, after a break and in case of malfunction. The
inspection serves to confirm that the pistol is not loaded. The inspection must be conducted espe-
cially when receiving the pistol from another user or in any other case of uncertainty as to whether
it is loaded. The inspection must be conducted using the safety line because the pistol cannot be
unloaded by hand and does not display a loaded status.
!
WARNING
The pistol can be fired inadvertently during handling, which can result in deadly
injury.
Never set down a loaded pistol.
Never carry the pistol around.
Never drop a loaded pistol.
