HOW TO LOAD AND FIRE

WARNING: Before loading the ﬁrearm, it is a good idea to practice the following

handling procedures without the use of ammunition. Never handle a loaded

ﬁrearm until you are fully familiar with the loading procedures. Always inspect

the ejection port, the loading gate and the cartridge chamber to make sure they

are empty. Check that there are no cartridges in the magazine tube. Before

loading the ﬁrearm, ensure that the safety is engaged. Always keep the ﬁrearm

pointed in a safe direction. (See points 1, 2 and 4 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES.)

WARNING: Always check the barrel before loading the ﬁrearm to make sure

that it is clean and free of possible obstructions.

WARNING: Check the conditions and correct tightness of the choke tubes in

the barrel. Never use the shotgun without the choke tube inserted.

WARNING: The shooter and all bystanders must always wear protective eye-

wear and ear protection during shooting. Residue from gunpowder, lubricant

or metal fragments may be projected backwards and cause injury. Noise-

reducing earplugs or earmuffs will reduce the risk of damage to hearing caused

by prolonged shooting activity.

CAUTION: Always keep your ﬁnger off the trigger and avoid contact of other

objects with the trigger if you don't intend to ﬁre.

CAUTION: The safety can only be engaged with the hammer in the cocked

position. The hammer is cocked by pulling back the breech bolt. When the

safety button shows the red ring, the SAFETY IS DISENGAGED (Fig. 5), so the

ﬁrearm is ready for use. When the red ring is not visible on the safety button, the

SAFETY IS ENGAGED (Fig. 3).

WARNING: The manual safety is merely a mechanical device and is in no way

a substitute for the Basic Safety Rules of ﬁrearm handling.
