1.1 Protect Your Eyes And Ears
Always wear safety glasses and ear plugs or “earmuff” type protectors whenever you are shooting. Always make certain
that persons close to you are similarly protected. Unprotected eyes may be injured by powder, gas, carbon residue,
lubricant, metallic particles, or similar debris which may emanate occasionally from any firearm in normal use. Without
ear protection, repeated exposure to shooting
noise may lead to cumulative, permanent hearing loss.
1.2. Ammunition
1. Use only high quality, original, factory-manufactured ammunition. Do not use cartridges that are dirty, wet, corroded,
bent, or damaged. Do not oil cartridges. Do not spray aerosol-type lubricants, preservative, or cleaners directly onto
cartridges or where excess spray may flow into contact with cartridges. Lubricant or other foreign matter on cartridges
can cause potentially dangerous ammunition malfunctions. Use only ammunition of the caliber for which your firearm is
chambered. The proper caliber is permanently engraved on your firearm; never attempt to use ammunition of any other
caliber.
2. The use of reloaded, “remanufactured” hand-loaded, or other non-standard ammunition voids all warranties. Reloading
is a science and improperly loaded ammunition can be extremely dangerous. Severe damage to the firearm and serious
injury to the shooter or to others may result. Always use ammunition that complies with the industry performance
standards established by the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers’ Institute, Inc. of the United States (SAAMI) or
ammunition manufactured to military specifications.
