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.

WARNING:

!

WARNING:

YOUR SAFETY RESPONSIBILITIY

11

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.

• Place the firearm in its original case or in a similarly secure container and pack it securely.

• The package must NOT bear any markings which indicate the identity of the contents.

• It is recommended that shipments be insured by the owner, since Umarex USA will accept no responsibility for loss or damage in transit.

• It is most important that you comply with federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The following guidelines are meant

to help, but you must seek assistance from the appropriate authorities if necessary.

• 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.
