LG400 – Operating Instructions
-34-
Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
Never point the muzzle towards yourself or another person, even in dry training or
in procedures such as loading or unloading. A safe direction means a direction in
which no person or animal can be endangered and in which there are no objects
which can ricochet the round or be penetrated.
Firearms must always be unloaded if they are not going to be used immediately.
If a gun is not going to be used immediately, it should never be kept loaded.
Firearms and ammunition must be kept stored safely separate from one another,
out of sight and reach of third parties, especially children, visitors, etc. The owner
must ensure that unauthorized parties do not come into contact with the gun or
the ammunition.
Ensure that the barrel is free of foreign matter, dirt, grease, oil, water, etc. before
firing.
Even a small amount of dirt, excess grease or oil can damage the barrel and
endanger you or others present. Always be sure that your ammunition is correct
for the gun that you are using, in the correct caliber and in flawless quality.
Before shooting, ensure that your target is perfectly safe.
Never shoot before you are fully certain where the projectile will hit. Make com-
pletely sure that the round will be stopped directly behind the target, because it is
still dangerous even at long distances. Take plenty of time to be absolutely sure
before you pull the trigger.
Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.
Every shooter and every person in the immediate vicinity must wear protective
goggles and ear protectors; the noise can damage your hearing.
Never carry a loaded firearm on your person.
Only load the firearm immediately before it is to be used. Never drop or throw a
loaded firearm.
