Owner’s Manual 2020
7
Store and carry your firearm so debris does not accumulate in the
working parts. Clean and oil your firearm following the instructions
provided in this manual after each use to prevent corrosion damage or
accumulation of debris. Make sure that no obstructions remain in the
barrel. Firing the pistol with an obstruction in the barrel can cause
extensive damage to your firearm and serious injury to yourself and
others.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, ALTER THE
TRIGGER, SAFETY OR OTHER PARTS OF THE FIRING
MECHANISM OF THIS OR ANY OTHER FIREARM. FAILURE
TO OBEY THIS WARNING MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH
TO YOURSELF OR OTHERS.
Your firearm is a mechanical device and as such, is subject to wear and
requires periodic inspection and service. FN firearms should only be
serviced by the FN Product Service Center or FN authorized individual. FN
cannot assume any responsibility for injuries suffered or damage caused by
unauthorized servicing, alterations or modifications of FN firearms.
10. ALWAYS WEAR EYE AND HEARING PROTECTION WHEN
SHOOTING.
Unprotected, repeated exposure to gunfire can cause hearing damage.
Wear hearing protection (shooting earplugs or ear muffs) to guard
against such damage.
Wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes from flying particles. Allow
proper distance (also known as eye relief) between a scope and your
eye when firing a scoped pistol, rifle or shotgun. Do not use unorthodox
shooting methods that could cause the rearward travel of the slide or
bolt of a firearm to contact your eyes, face or hands. Always keep a
safe distance between the muzzle and ejection port of your firearm and
any persons nearby, as muzzle blast, debris and ejecting shells could
inflict serious injury.
