WARNING: A FTER YOU ADJUST THE SINGLE SET TRIGGER , AND BEFORE YOU SHOOT YOUR
FIREARM , YOU MUST MAKE THE FOLLOWING SAFETY TESTS .
SET TRIGGER SAFETY TEST
1. Make certain the gun is UNLOADED , without any cartridge in the chamber and pointed in a safe direction.
2. Place the hammer in the half-cock position and insert a fired/empty cartridge case, so the firing pin will
have something to strike against.
3. Fully cock the hammer, then “set” the trigger as explained above.
4. Now, with the gun pointing upwards, knock the butt sharply, several times, against a wood surface, make
sure you protect the stock in a proper way. Repeat this impact test several times.
5. The hammer must not be released by the impacts to the butt stock. If the hammer remains in full cocked
position, your trigger setting is normal and safe.
6. If the hammer does fall during this impact test, you must change the adjustment of the front, rear or both
triggers in order to obtain a proper safe setting.
C AUTION : If you allow others to shoot your pistol or rifle, we suggest letting them try the set triggers before
allowing live ammunition to be fired. The light trigger pressure can be a surprise to many shooters who have
not had previous experience with a set trigger system. The hammer does not have to be cocked to allow this
trigger practice. Just “set” the rear trigger and allow the new shooter to experience the light trigger pull.
WARNING: NEVER TAMPER WITH THE TRIGGER PULL ADJUSTMENT
MECHANISM IN ORDER TO ALTER THE MINIMUM SETTINGS OF THIS OR ANY
OTHER FIREARM’S TRIGGER PULL NEVER ATTEMPT IN ANY WAY TO MODIFY
OR ALTER THE SEAR ENGAGEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRIGGER ASSEMBLY
