First, point your shotgun in a safe direction, then push the
safety fully forward, covering the “S” inscribed on the

moved to when firing is imminent (Figure 9). It is also the
position the hammer moves to when the action is cycled

stop/safety should be in the “on” position (with the “S”
showing) unless firing is imminent.
IMPORTANT: IT IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE ACTION BE KEPT OPEN AT ALL
TIMES WHEN YOUR SHOTGUN IS LAYING ON
ANY BENCH OR TABLE AT A SHOOTING

THE ABOVE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT
IN INJURY OR DEATH TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
