BASIC SAFETY RULES
1. NEVER POINT A FIREARM AT SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SAFE TO SHOOT.
1.
Never let the muzzle of a firearm point at
any part of your body or at another
person. This is especially important when
loading or unloading the firearm. When
you are shooting at a target, know what is
behind it. Some bullets can travel over a
mile. If you miss your target or if the bullet
penetrates the target, it is your
responsibility to ensure that the shot does
not cause unintended injury or damage.
2. ALWAYS TREAT A FIREARM AS IF IT WERE LOADED.
2.
Never assume that a firearm is unloaded.
ensure that a firearm is empty is to open the chamber and visually
examine the inside to see if a round is present. Removing the
magazine will not guarantee that a pistol is unloaded or cannot
fire.
Shotguns and rifles can be checked by cycling or removing all
rounds and by then opening the chamber so that a visual inspection of

the age of 18 or other
unauthorized persons do
not gain access to your
firearm.

Only use factory-loaded, new ammunition manufactured to industry specifications: CIP (Europe and
elsewhere), SAAMI (U.S.A.). Be certain that each round you use is in the proper caliber or gauge and
type for the particular firearm. The caliber or gauge of the firearm is clearly marked on the barrels of
shotguns and on the slide or barrel of pistols. The use of reloaded or remanufactured ammunition can
increase the likelihood of excessive cartridge pressures, casehead ruptures or other defects in the

plugs, etc, - may not prevent use or misuse of your firearm by a determined person. Steel gun safes
may be more appropriate to reduce the likelihood of intentional misuse of a firearm by an unauthorized
child or person.
4. NEVER SHOOT AT WATER OR AT A HARD SURFACE.
4.
Shooting at the surface of water or at a rock or other hard surface
increases the chance of ricochets or fragmentation of the bullet or
shot, which can result in the projectile striking an unintended or
peripheral target.
6. PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR FIREARM.
6.
Store and carry your firearm so that dirt or lint does not accumulate
in the working parts. Clean and oil your firearm, following the
instructions provided in this manual, after each use to prevent
corrosion, damage to the barrel or accumulation of impurities
which can prevent use of the gun in an emergency. Always check
the barrel prior to loading to ensure that it is clean and free from
obstructions.
barrel and injure yourself or others nearby.
6.
In case you hear an unusual noise when shooting, stop firing
immediately, ingage the manual safety and unload the firearm.
Make sure the chamber is free from any obstruction or possible
bullet blocked inside the barrel due to defective or improper
ammunition.
Firing against an obstruction can rupture the
5. KNOW THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE FIREARM YOU ARE USING, BUT REMEMBER:
SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFE HANDLING PROCEDURES.
5.
Never rely solely on a safety device to prevent an accident. It is imperative that you know and use the
safety features of the particular firearm you are handling, but accidents can best be prevented by
following the safe handling procedures described in these safety rules and elsewhere in the product
manual. To further familiarize yourself with the proper use of this or other firearms, take a Firearms
Safety Course taught by an expert in firearms use and safety procedures.

ammunition which can cause damage to your firearm and injury to yourself or others nearby.
9
Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms or handling ammunition may result
in exposure to lead and other substances known to cause birth defects, reproductive harm, and other
serious physical injury. Have adequate ventilation at all times. Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.
8. ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES AND EARPLUGS
WHEN SHOOTING.
8.
The chance that gas, gunpowder or metal fragments will blow back
and injure a shooter who is firing a gun is rare, but the injury that can
be sustained in such circumstances is severe, including the possible
loss of eyesight. A shooter must always wear impact resistant
shooting glasses when firing any firearm. Earplugs help reduce the
chance of hearing damage from shooting.
9. NEVER CLIMB A TREE, FENCE OR OBSTRUCTION WITH A
LOADED FIREARM.
9.
Open and empty the chamber of your firearm before climbing or
descending a tree or before climbing a fence or jumping over a ditch
or obstruction. Never pull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself or
another person.
10
10. AVOID ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES OR JUDGMENT OR REFLEX
IMPAIRING MEDICATION WHEN SHOOTING.
10.
Do not drink and shoot. If you take medication that can impair motor
reactions or judgment, do not handle a firearm while you are under
the influence of the medication.
11. NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM.
11.
Unload a firearm before putting it in a vehicle. Hunters and target
shooters should load their firearm only at their destination. If you
carry a firearm for self-protection, leaving the chamber unloaded can
reduce the chance of accidental discharge.
12. LEAD WARNING.
