SAFETY
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 hazardous occurrence causing damage
or injury becomes extremely remote.
GENERAL
• Use the equipment as the manufacturer recommends. Study the instructions
carefully and become thoroughly familiar with the operation of the product.
Don’t take short cuts.
• Observe “good housekeeping” in the work area. Keep tools and
components neat, clean and orderly. Promptly clean up any powder spills.
• Always wear adequate eye protection.
• If any unusual resistance is encountered when moving the operating handle,
STOP IMMEDIATELY and investigate the cause. To proceed against
unusual resistance may damage equipment and/or cause serious injury!
LOADING DATA
• Use only laboratory tested data. We highly recommend the use of the
SPEER Reloading Manual.
• OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS ABOUT THE USE OF MAXIMUM
LISTED LOADS.
PRIMER HANDLING
• WARNING: Primers are designed to explode and will do so when subjected
to heat or percussion.
• Do not decap live primers!
• Never attempt to seat or reseat a primer in a loaded cartridge.
• Store primers and powder beyond the reach of children and away from heat,
dampness, open flames and electrical equipment.
• DO NOT use any primer unless its identity is positively known. Discard all
mixed primers and those of uncertain or unknown identity.
• After a reloading session ends, return the remaining primers back into its
original factory container. This will preserve the identity and shelf life of
the primers.
• DO NOT SMOKE while handling powder or primers.
