G UN S AFETY W ARNINGS
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BE THOROUGHLY STUDIED BEFORE USING THIS FIREARM
TO ASSURE PROPER AND SAFE GUN HANDLING. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS OR FAILURE TO
OBEY ANY SAFETY WARNING MAY RESULT IN INJURY
TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS, OR CAUSE DAMAGE TO
YOUR FIREARM.
As a gun owner, you accept a set of demanding
responsibilities. How seriously you take these
responsibilities can be the difference between life
and death. There is no excuse for careless or abusive
handling of any firearm. At all times handle your
rifle and any other firearm with intense respect for
its power and potential danger.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF THE CAUTIONS,
PROPER HANDLING PROCEDURES AND INSTRUCTIONS
OUTLINED IN THIS OWNER’S MANUAL BEFORE USING
YOUR NEW FIREARM.
1. Do not carry a loaded firearm with a live cartridge in
the chamber while running, climbing a tree, crossing a
fence or anywhere you might slip or fall, drop the
firearm or otherwise bump or jar the firearm. A firearm
that is dropped, bumped or jarred with a chambered
cartridge might accidentally discharge even with the
safety on, causing serious injury to you or someone else.
When you are ready to shoot and a cartridge is
chambered, keep the safety in the “on safe” position
until shooting is imminent.
2. Do not rely on the safety to prevent accidental discharge.
Many safeties merely block the trigger and prevent
firing by pulling the trigger. The safety may not prevent
an accidental discharge due to dropping, jarring or
bumping a firearm.
3. Use only ammunition for which the firearm is
chambered, as indicated on the barrel, to prevent
excessive pressure and possible serious personal injury.
4. Incorrectly reloaded ammunition can cause serious
personal injury and damage to the firearm due to
excessive pressure. Reload only after proper instruction
and in strict compliance with instruction and data
contained in current reloading manuals.
5. Never point a firearm at anything you do not intend to
shoot. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe
direction in case of accidental discharge.
6. Always check to ensure that the barrel is free of
obstructions before loading and using the firearm. If
you experience light recoil or an off sound, keep the
muzzle pointed in a safe direction and check the barrel
for an obstruction.
