Manual

Be sure cam pin is installed in the bolt group. If it isn't, your rifle can still fire and will
explode.
If you are using a blank firing attachment, never fire anything except blank
rounds (for safety, we recommend the visible military style blank firing attachment).
If your rifle stops firing with a live round in the chamber of a hot barrel (a misfire),
remove the round fast. However, if you cannot remove it within 10 seconds, remove
magazine and wait 15 minutes with the rifle pointing in a safe direction. This way you
won't get hurt by a possible round “cooking-off(i.e. the round detonating just from the
heat of the barrel). In any event, keep your face away from the ejection port while
clearing a hot chamber.
• If your bolt fails to unlock, and you try to free it by banging the buttstock on the ground,
keep yourself clear of the muzzle.
If there's water in the barrel, do not fire the rifle. It could explode.
If a noticeable difference in sound or recoil is experienced, STOP FIRING. Either
condition could indicate an incomplete powder burn and/or a bullet stuck in the bore.
WARNING: BEWARE OF DANGEROUS PROCEDURES
ALWAYS PRACTICE SAFE FIREARMS HANDLING!
