IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read all instructions
Reloading is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby that is easily conducted with safety. But carelessness or
negligence can make reloading hazardous. This product has been designed from the beginning with the user’s
safety in mind.
As with any reloading operation, some safety rules must be followed. By observing these few rules, the
chance of a hazardous occurrence causing damage or injury becomes extremely remote.
GENERAL
● Use the reloading equipment as the manufacturer recommends. Study the instructions carefully and
become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the tool. Don’t take short cuts.
● Observe “good housekeeping” in the reloading area. Keep tools and components neat, clean and
orderly. Promptly and completely clean up primer and powder spills.
● Reload only when you can give your undivided attention. Do not reload when fatigued or ill. Develop a
reloading routine to avoid mistakes. Avoid haste – load at a leisurely pace.
● Always wear adequate eye protection. You assume unnecessary risk when reloading without wearing
safety glasses.
● Do not use any chemicals other than those specifically recommended for cartridge case cleaning.
● Do not attempt to salvage badly corroded cases which might be structurally weakened.
● Do not attempt to clean loaded ammunition. To do so could result in cartridge detonation causing
serious personal injury.
ELECTRICAL
● Avoid electrical shock. Electricity can cause serious personal injury or death.
● This product is equipped with a three-wire, “U” ground cord; plug only into a properly grounded outlet.

● Locate all electrical cords away from moisture, rain and moving parts.
● Periodically check all cords for worn/frayed spots. Replacement of cord should only be done by RCBS
Customer Service Department.
