Gun care

• You must always follow the rules of safe gun handling. Always be aware of the surroundings, and the people around you.
• Always assume your gun is loaded. You'd be amazed how many accidents have happened with guns their owners 'knew' were unloaded.
• Never let young children near your gun unsupervised.
• Always aim an air gun in a safe direction and always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
• Always keep an air gun "on safe" until you are ready to shoot.
• Always wear shooting glasses and make sure those with you wear them too.
• Always use the proper caliber ammunition and never reuse ammunition.
• Always place your backstop in a location that will be safe should the backstop fail.
• Always check to see if the air gun is "on safe" and unloaded when getting it from another person or from storage.
• Always read and follow the owner's manual and all instructions and know how the air gun works before using it.
• Always keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you are aiming at your target and are ready to shoot.
• Always store an air gun in a safe place so that it cannot be used by anyone who is unauthorized to use it.
• Never point an air gun at any person.
• Never load an air gun until you are ready to shoot.
• Never put an air gun away loaded.
• Never use conventional oils inside the spring or compression chamber. Use only approved lubricants or nothing at all.
• Never touch anyone else's gun unless you have permission.
• After using your gun, make sure it is unloaded and store it in a secure place to which children cannot gain access. Store ammunition in a separate secure place.
• Do not remove any internal safety or safety device on the air rifle. Safety mechanisms are designed to protect you from injury or death.
• Never let water, snow, mud or other material enter the barrel. Keep the barrel free of any obstruction.
• You must also follow the state and local laws about the purchase, ownership, and use of air guns. An adult should supervise minors. And remember, misuses or careless use of air guns may cause serious injury or death.
