Type Of Ammunition To Be Used

It is suggested that high quality commercially manufactured ammunition be used
in this firearm. Avoid military surplus or old ammunition as it may not fire with
sufficient force to expel the projectile or wad from the barrel. The use of reloaded,

high pressure or hand-loaded ammunition can be dangerous and will
void the warranty.

LEAD WARNING: The actual firearm does not contain any lead; however, it

does fire ammunition which contains lead or lead compounds known to the State
of California to cause cancer, birth defects, reproductive toxicity, and other serious
physical injury. Those who discharge a firearm, stand near someone who
discharges a firearm or clean firearms are hereby warned of the dangers presented
by lead and lead compounds and should take protective health measures. Avoid
exposure to lead while handling and wash your hands after contact. Proper air
ventilation is absolutely necessary when shooting indoors.

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE YOUR

LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Get competent firearms instruction in safe handling before using this firearm.
Please ask your dealer for names of qualified instructors near you. All guns are
extremely dangerous if carelessly handled or used. Remember that the firearm
user is the primary “safety” and that reliance on any mechanical safety device
should never replace safe handling procedures.

This firearm WILL FIRE if a shell is in the chamber and the trigger is pulled while
the safety is disengaged.

DO NOT LOAD THIS PUMP ACTION SHOTGUN UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND
HOW IT OPERATES. KEEP this pump action shotgun unloaded at all times

except when you are ready to fire and are sure of your target.

ALWAYS carry this pump action shotgun in a case or original box unloaded.
NEVER point this pump action shotgun at anything that is not your intended

target even if the pump action shotgun is unloaded. When loading, unloading,
cleaning or handling, always be sure the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and
always keep your finger off the trigger.

NEVER assume any gun is unloaded. Before handling, check to make sure the
chamber is empty. See Unloading Instructions. Make sure you know that this or
any firearm is fully unloaded before displaying or handling it. When handling any
firearm, keep your fingers away from the trigger at all times until you intend to fire.

Get instructions from a competent firearms instructor before using this or any
firearm. Learn from a professional how to handle, load, unload, operate, fire and
care for your gun.

NEVER PLAY with your firearm. It is not a toy and can be a very dangerous
weapon that can cause serious personal injury or death.

Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. Treat every gun as if it is
loaded...all the time. NEVER point any firearm (loaded or unloaded) at any person
or anything you do not intend to shoot. Always keep your gun unloaded until
ready to use and make sure that it is unloaded before cleaning.

Keep your finger OFF the trigger until you are actually aiming at the target and
ready to shoot. Learn to rest your finger outside of the trigger guard.

Never rely on a gun’s “safety” to protect you from unsafe gun handling. A safety is
only a mechanical device, not a substitute for using common sense and following
gun safety procedures.

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE

YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Never leave a gun unattended or where it could fall.

Store guns and ammunition separately beyond the reach of children. Make
sure that they are properly secured so untrained individuals and children will be
denied access to your guns and ammunition.

Test your gun’s operation and safeties only at a shooting range while the firearm
is pointed in a safe direction.

Know your target and what is beyond. Ask yourself what your projectile will hit if
it misses the target or passes through the intended target. Remember, a fired
projectile can travel over a mile (including a ricochet) and is capable of going
through walls. Never shoot at hard flat surfaces or water. . . bullets ricochet.

Guns and alcohol or drugs do not mix. Don’t take any alcoholic beverages and/or
drugs before or during shooting activities.

Never pull a gun toward you by the muzzle. Don’t climb a tree, cross a ditch or
fence with a loaded gun.

Always empty guns before entering a house, car, truck, boat, RV, camp or
any building.

When receiving a gun, always open the action and check to make sure the
chamber is unloaded.

NEVER accept anyone’s word that a gun is “unloaded” or “empty.” You should
immediately open the action and check to make sure it is unloaded.

Be careful with ALL ammunition. Even “blank” cartridges are deadly at close
range due to the muzzle blast. Make sure your ammunition is new and in good
clean condition. Do NOT oil or grease ammunition as this may damage the
cartridge primer. Do NOT tamper with or alter the standard factory ammunition.

Keep firearms unloaded when not actually in use. Load the gun only when on the
range preparing to fire and unload it before leaving the range.

Never put your hand over the muzzle of a gun.
ALWAYS WEAR protective shooting glasses and hearing protection when using

firearms.

FOLLOWING THESE SAFETY RULES CAN SAVE

YOUR LIFE OR THE LIFE OF SOMEONE ELSE

Spectators should be at least 10 feet behind and away from the shooter while the
shooter is loading, shooting and unloading. Spectators should wear protection for
hearing and sight loss and they should avoid distracting those shooting their
firearms.

Never drop your gun. If you do drop it, unload it and check it for proper function
before using it again.

Do NOT alter or modify your gun. Don’t try to change your gun’s trigger pull,
because it may affect sear engagement and thereby cause accidental firing.

Do NOT remove any internal safety or safety device on the firearm. Safety
mechanisms are designed to help protect you from injury or death.

Properly maintain and keep your gun clean. Keep in a dry place away from other
metals and water. If your gun shows sign of corrosion or improper operation, have
it serviced by a competent gunsmith.

Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction when loading and unloading your
gun. Never point the muzzle at anyone.

If a gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, keep it pointed down range at the
target for 60 seconds. Sometimes slow primer ignition may cause a delay in full
ignition of a cartridge. If after 60 seconds the cartridge does not fire, keep the
muzzle pointed in safe direction and avoid exposure to the breech, as you attempt
to unload your firearm.

Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Always be sure the
barrel is free of any obstruction.

Since many ammunition identifications sound similar, be sure that you use only
the correct ammunition for your gun. Do NOT use the wrong size or wrong strength
ammunition in your firearm.

Teach children: 1. NOT to touch guns, bullets, cartridges, shells, flares or any
explosive device and 2. That if they discovery such a dangerous item or weapon,
they must immediately report its location to their parents, school teacher or
police.

Remember a firearm has the capability of taking your life or the life of someone
else. Be careful with your firearm — an accident is almost always the result of

not following basic safety rules.
