SAFETY RULES ANd PREcAUTIONS
FOR FIRING ANd USE OF YOUR
TRAdITIONS FIREARM
warning!
keep the safety engaged in the “Safe” position
until you are aimed at a proper target and have
decided to fire. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or death.
warning!
use the safety on this rifle, but don’t trust or rely on
it as a substitute for safe gun handling practices. The
safety is a mechanical device which could fail. Or, by
mistake, you may think the safety is on when it is not.
Or the safety may become disengaged without your
knowledge. Or you could think your gun is unloaded
when it is loaded. Always follow the safe gun handling
rules and procedures in this manual, whether you
think the safety is on or off, and whether you think
the rifle is loaded or unloaded. Don’t pull the trigger
when the safety is engaged, or when it is positioned
part way between Safe and Fire. Don’t use or rely on
the safety lever to try to “childproof’ your rifle or keep
it safe from untrained persons - instead, your rifle
should be unloaded and securely locked up, out of
access of children and other unauthorized users.

follows the same rule. Also, avoid handling
firearms when you are ill, exhausted, upset or
preoccupied with other concerns - safe firearms
handling requires your full attention, and all of
your abilities, unimpaired by other factors.
12. Any firearm which is not under your direct
control should be stored so it is inoperable or
inaccessible to children and other unauthorized
users. Children are attracted to, and can find, load
and operate firearms, causing serious injury or
death to themselves and others. Preventing child
access and tragic, avoidable accidents is YOuR
responsibility, as an adult gun owner. The safest
way to store firearms is unloaded, locked in a gun
safe or vault.
