SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH, OR DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY

1) COMPLETELY READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR OWNERES MANUAL GUIDELINES BEFORE USING
YOUR FIREARM. You should fully understand the function of all of the components and mechanics of the firearm.
Before you remove the firearm out of the box thoroughly read the owner’s manual on how to properly carry, handle,
load, unload, and store your new firearm. Know the rules of proper gun safety and exercise them at all times
because failure to do so may result in death or injury to yourself or others. Because it is impossible to list every
firearm situation or scenario, be aware that certain circumstances may require additional safety rules unique to a
particular situation. In these cases, we recommend that you use
2) ALWAYS LEARN THE SPECIFIC MECHANICAL AND HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS OF YOUR
SHOTGUN. All firearms are different thus it is important for you to understand how to properly carry, use, and
handle each one according to its specific guidelines. Before using any firearm, one must completely familiarize
themselves with the type of firearm and its specific safe handling procedures for loading, unloading, carrying,
NEVER
Give the shotgun to any person who has not thoroughly familiarized himself or herself with all of the
information, safety rules, and warnings in the owner’s manual.
3) ALWAYS KEEP THE FIREARM UNLOADED UNTIL READY TO USE. Firearms should be kept unloaded when
not in use. Whenever your pick up a firearm, immediately engage the safety device and remove the magazine to
visually inspect the chamber and confirm that it is empty. Always unload all ammunition from the chamber and remove
the magazine after: 1) shooting, 2) before putting the firearm away, 3) putting it into a holster, 4) when not in use, and
5) when handing it over to another person.
NEVER
Leave a loaded gun unattended, propped up against a surface, or out of your hands.
Assume a firearm is unloaded, even if you used it last. Always check to make sure that there is no ammunition
and the chamber is clear.
Load a cartridge into the chamber until you are ready to fire.
4
 Carry or transport your firearm with live ammunition in the chamber.
Pass a firearm to another person or accept a firearm from another person, until the cylinder or action is open
and you have personally checked that the weapon is completely unloaded.
Haul a loaded firearm openly or in a carrying case.
Never transfer or hand a loaded firearm to someone else.
4) ALWAYS KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT. When holding the
firearm be sure to rest your finger on the trigger guard and along the side of the gun.
NEVER
Touch the trigger until you are ready to fire.
Engage in horseplay while handling a firearm.
Rely on the safety devices of the gun. Mechanical safeties are never foolproof and can wear out and
malfunction overtime. Remember to always handle all firearms using proper gun safety guidelines.
5) ALWAYS KEEP THE GUN POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION. A safe direction is one in which an accidental
discharge cannot or would not cause injury or harm to yourself or others. Use extreme caution especially when loading
and unloading your firearm. When handling any firearm always treat it as if it was loaded and ready to fire, even if you
think it is empty. The recommended carrying position of your shotgun is with the hammer in de-cocked position.
NEVER
Point your firearm at anything you don’t intend to shoot.
Use a firearm under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or any other substances that may impair your judgment,
skills, or physical abilities.
Target shoot or hunt with a firearm when you are fatigued or too tired to operate the firearm safely.
Use your firearm if you have an illness or disability that could compromise your judgment and the safety of
yourself or others.
6) ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT AMMUNITION. All firearms are manufactured to use a certain caliber or gauge of
ammunition. Only use ammunition that the manufacturer has recommended. Always verify before loading that you have

5
the correct ammunition that matches the manufacturer’s recommendations. Using improperly reloaded or incorrect
ammunition can cause death and injury. This can also damage or destroy your firearm which will void any warranty.
NEVER
Shoot the gun unless you know you have the proper ammunition.
Use hand loaded, non-standard or reloaded ammunition.
Fire ammunition that exceeds industry standard pressure specifications.
Use old, soiled, or damaged ammunition.
Use ammunition which does not feed reliably in your particular firearm as it may malfunction at a critical
juncture.
7) ALWAYS STORE YOUR FIREARM IN A SECURED STORAGE AREA TO PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED
ACCESS OR USE FROM OTHER INDIVIDUALS. There are many types of firearm storage devices as well as locking
devices that attach directly to the firearm itself. Each individual must consider their particular circumstances so that the
firearm is stored and maintained for optimal safety and security. Metal gun safes are recommended over open racks or
glass front cabinets. Mechanical safeties built into the firearm can fail and should not be used as a substitute for safe gun
handling and adherence to all firearm safety rules. Additionally, always store your ammunition locked up and secured
separately from any firearms.

NEVER
Store or hide a loaded firearm
Leave your firearms where unauthorized access from other individuals can occur.
Allow access to individuals who are do not understand or follow the rules of proper gun safety
Leave a unsecured firearm in a bed, drawer, closet, or any other vehicle that could allow access to children or
other unauthorized individuals
Allow children under the age of 18 access to any firearms without close supervision and proper firearm safety
training.

6
8) ALWAYS COMPLY WITH ALL LOCAL. STATE, AND FEDERAL LAWS THAT GOVERN THE OWNERSHIP,
STORAGE, CARRYING, AND USE OF FIREARMS.
NEVER
Vandalize any public or private property by using it as a target.

Kill any animal you don’t intend to eat.
9) ALWAYS KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND. Before you pull the trigger be sure of your target and
what is behind it. Shoot only in areas that have approved backdrops such as a shooting range, or backstops such as a
hillside or berm. Also, know how far your shot will travel in case you miss the target or the bullet ricochets.
NEVER
Fire in the direction in which there are people.
Fire at a sound, movement, or a flash of color.
Shoot directly upwards or at a high angle of elevation. Firing at or into the air can have enough energy to
travel long distances and accidently injure or kill someone.
Shoot across a highway or other roadway.
10) ALWAYS WEAR EYE/ EAR/BODY PROTECTION. Gases and debris can cause injury so it is very important that
one wears protective gear to preserve their hearing and eyesight. Also, while in the field wear at least 1000 square inches
or more of blaze orange so that you can be visible by others.
NEVER
Discharge a firearm in a poorly ventilated area.

IMPORTANT WARNING POSSIBLE LEAD EXPOSURE CAN OCCUR WHEN DISCHARGING FIREARMS IN A
POORLY VENTILATED AREA, CLEANING THE FIREARM, OR HANDLING AMMUNITION. LEAD AND ITS
COMPONENTS IS A SUBSTANCE KNOWN TO CAUSE BIRTH DEFECTS, REPRODUCTIVE
DESTRUCTION/IMPAIRMENT, CANCER, OR OTHER SERIOUS HEALTH CONDITIONS AND INJURY. ALWAYS
HAVE ADEQUATE VENTILATION AT ALL TIMES AND WASH YOUR HANDS AND OTHER CONTACT AREAS
THOROUGHLY AFTER EACH EXPOSURE.

7
11) ALWAYS HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE IF YOUR GUN FAILS TO FIRE WHEN THE TRIGGER IS PULLED.
If the ammunition doesn’t fire when you pull the trigger, STOP! and remember to always keep the firearm pointed in a safe
direction. Keep your face away from the breech, then put the safety on, carefully open the action, unload the firearm and
dispose of the cartridge safely. Always keep in mind that anytime there is a shell in the chamber, your firearm is LOADED
and ready to fire. Even if you tried to shoot and the firearm did not fire, always treat it as if it could still discharge.

12) ALWAYS TREAT THE FIREARM AS IF IT WAS LOADED, EVEN IF THE SAFETY IS POSITIONED
CORRECTLY AND KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM THE TRIGGER WHEN LOADING AND UNLOADING.
A gun is a mechanical device and is not foolproof and is subject to wear and tear over time. Always keep your fingers away
from the trigger when you are loading and unloading. If the manual safety proves to be ineffective for any reason, danger
of an unintentional discharge exists, the weapon is then must be immediately unloaded and restricted from further use.
REMEMBER..THAT ANY FIREARM SAFETY MECHANISMS CAN FAIL, EVEN IF THE SAFETY IS ENGAGED.
YOU SHOULD ALWAYS ASSUME THAT A FIREARM IS LOADED WHEN HANDLING IT.

13) ALWAYS KEEP YOUR SHOTGUN IN THE SAME MECHANICAL AND STRUCTURAL CONFIGURATION AS IT
WAS WHEN IT WAS MANUFACTURED. This shotgun was produced under specific manufacturer guidelines and
should not be altered or changed under ANY circumstances. Performing conversions by altering the trigger,
mechanical components, safety mechanisms, or using any other products other those provided in the original box
is NOT RECOMMENDED by the manufacturer, and could result death, bodily harm, or compromising your safety or
the safety of others. Any alteration made to the firearm also voids the factory warranty. Like any mechanical device
it is subject to normal wear and tear from use. In order to maintain optimal safety and performance it should be
periodically serviced. You must regularly clean and lubricate your firearm to maintain its functionality, accuracy,
safety, and reliability. Always before cleaning or lubricating any firearm make sure that you perform a safety check
to make sure that the firearm is completely unloaded prior to performing any routine maintenance. If for some
reason your firearm does require repairing, you must contact the U. S. importer for an approved service provider.
Using unauthorized personnel to repair your firearm will void your manufacturer’s warranty.

NEVER
Alter, convert, or change your firearm from its original manufacturer’s configuration.

INSTRUCTIONS AND WE EXPRESSLY DO NOT AUTHORIZE ANY CHANGES BE MADE AFTER
MANUFACTURE. DO NOT JEOPARDIZE THE SAFETY OF YOURSELF OR OTHERS BY MAKING
MODIFICATIONS TO YOUR FIREARM.

14) ALWAYS MAKE SURE THE BARREL IS CLEAR OF ANY OBSTRUCTIONS BEFORE SHOOTING. Before
loading always perform a safety check to make sure that there is no ammunition in the chamber or magazine. Examine the
barrel for any obstructions or debris such as excess lubricant, dirt, or grease. If the bore is obstructed it can cause
increased pressure causing the barrel to bulge or burst during use. Always use a cleaning rod and patch to remove any
residues or obstructions in the barrel. Be familiar with your firearm. If the noise or recoil seems muffled or weak then STOP!
And proceed to unload your firearm and check to make sure nothing is lodged in the barrel.
NEVER
Try to shoot out an obstruction by loading another shell and firing.
SERIAL NUMBER OF THE FIREARM
The serial number is located on various parts of the shotgun. Each serial number is specific to that shotgun and is used for
identification and registration. It is recommended that you record your serial number in your manual and keep the
information in a secured location.
LOADING THE SHOTGUN
1) First, point the shotgun in a safe direction. Remember, a safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it

9
were to go off, it would not cause injury, damage, or death. Always perform a safety check to make sure that the chamber
is empty.
2) When the magazine is empty, the bolt catch lever holds the bolt open at the rear. Press the magazine release to remove
the empty magazine and insert a loaded magazine. Remember to only use ammunition that is recommended by the
manufacturer.
3) Push down the bolt catch lever with the thumb of the shooting hand and this will allow the bolt to move forward and
chamber a round.
THE SHOTGUN IS NOW LOADED AND READY TO FIRE!
