YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
- READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR FIREARM
WARNING: THE FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE BASIC FIREARM SAFETY RULES MAY RESULT IN AN UNINTENDED DISCHARGE WHICH COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU AND OTHERS.
- BEFORE HANDLING ANY FIREARM, UNDERSTAND ITS OPERATION. Not all firearms are the same. Familiarize yourself with the mechanical features of any firearm you intend to use. If you feel uncertain about any operational aspects of your firearm, please contact Umarex USA before proceeding with its operation.
- ALWAYS SAFELY STORE AND SECURE YOUR FIREARM. Safe and secure storage of your firearm is one of the most important responsibilities of firearm ownership. It is a full-time responsibility. You must always secure your firearm and ammunition separately so that they are not accessible to children or other unauthorized persons. (See Safe Storage Instructions in this manual).
- ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FIREARM POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. Never point at anyone or anything you do not intend to shoot whether or not the firearm is loaded. This is particulary important when loading, unloading, or field stripping the gun. ALWAYS control the direction of the muzzle.
- NEVER PLACE YOUR FINGER ON THE TRIGGER OR INSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD UNLESS YOU INTEND TO
FIRE. Ensure that other objects do not touch the trigger.
- ALWAYS BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT. Always be sure of where the bullet will strike and shoot only where there is a safe backstop free of obstructions, water or other surfaces which can cause ricochets. Think of what the bullet may hit if it misses the target or ricochets. Do not fire into the sky.
- NEVER DISASSEMBLE YOUR FIREARM OR MANIPULATE THE INTERNAL COMPONENTS OF YOUR FIREARM
beyond the field stripping procedure outlined in this manual. Improper disassembly or manipulation of your
firearm may be dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death.

WARNING:
SAFE AND SECURE STORAGE OF YOUR FIREARM IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT RULES OF FIREARM SAFETY. YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS.
- You must always secure your firearm and ammunition separately so that they are not accessible to children or other unauthorized persons.
- Safe and secure storage and transportation of your firearm is your responsibility. It is a full-time responsibility.
- YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SECURE YOUR FIREARM IN A MANNER THAT WILL
PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS. ALWAYS STORE YOUR FIREARM UNLOADED.
Your firearm and ammunition should be stored separately and in a manner inaccessible to children and unauthorized persons.
- ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOUR FIREARM IS SAFELY SECURED IN A MANNER SO AS TO PREVENT
UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO THE FIREARM. CARL WALTHER HAS PROVIDED A LOCK FOR THIS PURPOSE.
Please read and follow the instructions for the use of this lock. There are other alternative locks and safe storage containers available in the marketplace which may be appropriate for your particular needs. Consult your local gunshop, hardware store or local police department for guidance on the variety of other safe storage devices or practices which may be appropriate for your particular needs. By purchasing this firearm you have taken on the responsibility of safely securing the firearm at all times and preventing its unauthorized use. Never assume that the use of only a lock is sufficient to safely secure your firearm. It is your personal responsibility to select and use whatever measure or practices that will best enable you to be absolutely certain that your firearm is secure at all times.
You are responsible to determine witch devices or practices are appropriate
for the safe storage of your firearm and your ammunition.

NEVER LOCK A LOADED FIREARM AND NEVER LOAD A LOCKED FIREARM
- NEVER ASSUME THAT A ``HIDING`` PLACE IS A SECURE STORAGE METHOD. Others may be aware of your storage location or come upon it by chance. It is your personal responsibility to use common sense when storing and securing your firearm and ammunition and to always make sure that it is not accessible to children or other unauthorized persons. Always make sure your firearm is unloaded before storing.
- ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LAW!! You must be familiar with all local, state, and federal laws regarding the safe discharge, storage and transportation of your firearm. Failure to know and follow the law may result in unauthorized access or use of your firearm by another. Obey all laws relating to the storage and transportation of firearms. Your local police department or gunshop will furnish you with available information on storing and/or transporting a firearm legally.
- NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM. When transporting your firearm, be sure it is unloaded and the cylinder or action is open.
- YOUR FIREARM IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Protect your firearm from theft or misuse by untrained or unqualified individuals.
PREPARATION FOR FIRING
THE FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE FIREARM SAFETY REQUIREMENTS WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS.
- ALWAYS WEAR ADEQUATE AND PROPER EAR PROTECTION SPECIFIED
FOR FIREARM USE to prevent permanent damage to your hearing. Make sure others who are nearby are wearing ear protection as well.
- ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES SPECIFIED FOR FIREARM USE, whether indoors or out. Safety glasses should protect your eyes from the firing flash and particles associated with the discharge of ammunition. Failure to do so creates a risk of personal injury from particle or debris spitting or ricochets.

AMMUNITION
A GENERAL PRINCIPLES
- There are different types of ammunition for different types of firearms. Your firearm has been designed for ammunition of a specific type and a specific caliber. It is important to select the proper ammunition for your firearm.
NEVER USE AMMUNITION NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNATED FOR USE IN YOUR FIREARM. FAILURE TO USE THE CORRECT TYPE OR CALIBER OF AMMUNITION MAY CAUSE THE FIREARM TO JAM, FAIL TO FIRE OR EVEN GENERATE EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WHICH CAN DAMAGE OR EVEN RUPTURE YOUR FIREARM, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
- You are responsible for selecting ammunition that meets industry standards and is appropriate in type and caliber for this firearm.
- Locate the caliber designation marked on the left side of the lower receiver. This information indicates the ammunition caliber that should be used in this firearm.
B HANDLOADED OR RELOADED AMMUNITION
NEVER USE NON-STANDARD, RELOADED OR ``HANDLOADED`` AMMUNITION WHICH HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO INTERNAL BALLISTIC PRESSURE TESTING. RELOADED OR HANDLOADED AMMUNITION MAY HAVE MANY MANUFACTURING AND QUALITY VARIABLES (SUCH AS THE TYPE AND AMOUNT OF GUN POWDER). ANY AMMUNITION THAT IS IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED, EVEN IN THE SLIGHTEST DEGREE, MAY FAIL TO FIRE OR MAY GENERATE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURES WHICH CAN DAMAGE OR EVEN RUPTURE THE FIREARM, CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO THE SHOOTER OR THOSE IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY.

YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITY
- Use only commercially manufactured ammunition with internal ballistic pressure which are in strict accordance with the specifications of the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers´ Institute (SAAMI). If you are uncertain, contact your ammunition supplier for verification.
C AMMUNITION SPECIFICS
- Use only ammunition specifically recommended for your firearm.
- Never mix ammunition.
- Never use a cartridge not specifically designated for use in your firearm.
- Pressure from the wrong type of ammunition may exceed the capability of your firearm and may damage or even rupture your firearm.
- In some cases, a round of ammunition not specified on your firearm may fit into the chamber. Firing ammunition not specified on your firearm may cause it to rupture and cause serious injury or death to you or others.
- Always inspect your ammunition before using it. Never use dirty, corroded or damaged ammunition which can lead to a burst cartridge which may cause damage to the firearm and personal injury or death.
!
WARNING:
.22 L.R. caliber cartridges have a wide range of loads, from very weak for sport shooting and maximum precision to very powerful for a high projectile velocity. To ensure reliable operation, a semiautomatic firearm must be matched to a certain cartridge load. For this reason the .22 L.R. Colt M16 / M4 has been designed for high-quality standard ammunition and HV (High Velocity) ammunition, and one can be sure of trouble-free operation only with these types.

• If your firearm must be replaced, it may be necessary to ship the replacement to a dealer rather than directly to you. You
will be requested to furnish a signed FFL (Federal Firearms License) from your dealer in such an instance.
