importer or the manufacturer.
Please observe the local and national legislation
governing the ownership, carrying and use of
firearms.
Be aware that this gun, like all firearms, is
dangerous. The gun accompanying these
Handling and Safety Instructions has been sold
under the express understanding that the
manufacturer and the importer of the gun decline
any responsibility for consequences of
manipulations on the gun or use of the gun.
This applies in particular to liability for bodily harm
or damage to property resulting in part or in whole

recharged ammunition,
– inadequate care of the gun

These limitations apply regardless of whether

for incidental or consequential damages such as
loss of use of property, commercial loss or loss of
earnings and profits.

Safety regulations
2 Safety regulations
•
Never use the gun under the influence of
alcohol or drugs, during illness or other
complaints; they may influence your
judgement and reflexes.
• Always treat the gun as loaded and unlocked
until you have made sure to the contrary by
unloading it.
• During all manipulations, keep the muzzle of
the gun pointed in a safe direction. Safe
directions are defined as areas where there
are no people, other living creatures or other
people's property.
• Never point the gun at doors, window panes,
walls, concrete, stones or other flat surfaces
(including water). Shots can penetrate such
surfaces or be deflected into unsafe directions
by them.
• Never aim at yourself or other people.
• Never rely on safety mechanisms. They are
never a substitute for careful and correct
handling of the gun.
• Always handle your gun as if the safety
mechanisms were not functional. The best
safety device is the correct, well-exercised and
secure handling of the gun.
• Never shoot a gun into which there has been
ingress of water, sand, dirt or other foreign
bodies.
• Never release the tension on the firing pin
merely by pulling the trigger.
• Never let a loaded gun out of your hands.
• Always unload the gun immediately after
shooting, before putting it down, putting it in its

thoroughly familiarised himself or herself with
the safety regulations and handling of the gun
by reading the accompanying instructio n s .
• Never leave the gun lying around unattended.
Unauthorised persons can cause damage or
threaten or kill people with it, for which you
might be liable.
• Never store the gun loaded, but remove the
magazine and verify through unloading there is
no round in the barrel chamber.
• Always keep the gun and the ammunition in
different places and ensure that neither can fall
into the hands of unauthorised persons or
children.
