Barnett Crossbows Penetrator 350 - Manual (Page 4)

Safety Guidelines
The PENETRATOR is equipped with an automatic anti dry-fire
safety, which engages every time the crossbow is cocked. The
safety must be released before each shot. This, as with any other
mechanical device, does not guarantee total safety, as no safety
device is a substitute for common sense and safe handling. The
crossbow trigger is only to be pulled when the safety is in “fire”
position and NEVER when it is in the “safe” position or anywhere
between “safe” and “fire.” Do not attempt to alter or modify the
safety or the trigger mechanism.
The following rules should be followed at all times:
EXTREME CAUTION SHOULD BE USED AT ALL TIMES WHEN
HANDLING A CROSSBOW. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE RULES
COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
• Always inspect your crossbow and arrows before firing. Bent
or damaged arrows/nocks are not safe to fire and should be
discarded or repaired.
• Always keep your fingers below the flight track and out of
the path of the string and cables when firing the crossbow.
The velocity of the string striking your fingers as the string
travels forward could cause severe personal injury.
• Never dry-fire the crossbow (shoot without an arrow). Dry firing
will void the warranty and can result in damage to the string,
cables, and limbs, possibly causing personal injury.
• Never fire the crossbow until you are sure of your target.
• Always use an adequate target and backstop when target
shooting.
• Always use suitable crossbow arrows, such as Barnett 20”
carbon arrows with half moon nocks. Arrows of improper
stiffness or mass weight may damage the string, cables, and
limbs, voiding the warranty and possibly causing personal
injury. Too light of an arrow can cause a dry-fire/misfire.
