AIRGUNS
ARE RECOMMENDED FOR ADULT USE ONLY. MISUSE OR CARELESS USE MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
READ YOUR OWNER'S OPERATION MANUAL PRIOR TO HANDLING ANY AIRGUN.
PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. It is your duty
to know and obey all laws governing the use and ownership of air guns
in your city, town, province, state, and/or country.
GUN SAFETY RULES
ALWAYS ENGAGE YOUR BRAIN BEFORE TOUCHING ANY GUN.
• Always keep the muzzle pointed in a
safe direction.
• Always treat every gun as if it were loaded.
• Always wear shooting glasses to protect your eyes.
• Always keep guns unloaded until ready to shoot.
• Always keep a gun "on safe" until ready to shoot.
• Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard
until ready to shoot.
• Always be sure of your target and be sure your target has a safe
backstop. Think of what you might hit if the ammunition misses or goes
through your intended target. Know the danger distance of your gun
(how far the ammunition may travel).
• Always check to see if the gun is "on
safe" and
unloaded when getting it from another person or from storage.
• Always read and follow all instructions, warnings, and cautions
in the owner's manual and know how your gun works before using
it.
• Always store a gun in a safe place and
separate from ammunition and power source so
that it cannot be used by anyone unauthorized to use it.
THINK SAFETY FIRST:
• Adult supervision is required when any type of
airgun is in use.
• Never rely on an airgun's "Safety" to protect
you from unsafe handling. A safety is a mechanical device, not
a substitute for common sense and good safety procedures.
• Always place the backstop in a location that
will be safe should the backstop fail. Think about what may be
hit if the pellet or BB misses the backstop.
• Discontinue the use of a backstop if the projectile rebounds
or ricochets.
• Do not shoot at hard surfaces or the surface of water, a ricochet
may occur.
• Shoot only the correct caliber and type of ammunition as
marked on your airgun.
• Do not attempt to reuse fired, damaged, or deformed pellets
or BBs as they may lodge in the barrel.
• If an airgun is dropped, check to see that it works properly
before using it again. If anything seems changed, like a shorter
or weaker trigger pull, this may mean worn out or broken parts. Call Umarex USA for
assistance.
• Do not consume
alcohol prior to, or during a shooting session.
• On air rifles, scopes are to be mounted with 2 ¾" to 3" of
eye relief to prevent bodily injury.
• On break-barrel air rifles, DO NOT PULL THE TRIGGER WITH THE
BARREL BROKEN OVER. The barrel will fly up causing a bent barrel
and could result in serious injury to a person.
• Perform regular maintenance
on your airgun to make sure that
it remains safe for use.
